JIP...oh my i remember the jump in point...especially from amarr to sarum prime...amarr being 1.0 and sarum prime was .4 at the time...ppl would just camp that JIP and kill everyone that jumped in..was hilarous...till next patch when ccp changed the security rating higher :/ and you use to be able to put any type of missle in any missle launcher..crusier crows were kick arse
..i also remember ark in empire space..i was so nub i remember getting the probe i was mining the ark in blown up by rats and then being in a egg shaped thing and thinking to myself 'damn what happened is the game over already?' ----------------------------------------

Gate rats in empire. If you were flying a small ship on autopilot and walked away for a while, the chances were that you could come back a couple of hours later and find yourself at your destination, but in a pod because the gate rats had slowly killed you. --

Originally by: ZoRzEr I approve of this thread. Lots of nostalgic moments when reading this over. Some of the stories are true, some are twisted version of what really happened. Favorites have to be the Yulai incident, Jump in points and m0o. I've done and collected a few images from EVE over the years all the way from late Beta to this current day. Most of these images are taken by me, some are not. Here for your enjoyment:
Strange little bug This is very very wrong Chaining rats. Got to the point where we couldn't kill the spawn fast enough CCP being funny 4 afterburners on a Megathron Large hybrids on a Rifter In station Old Minmatar titan design ?

Awesome stuff thanks! Sometimes i wish eve today was a bit more like that EVE history

Originally by: Jim Hazard Once there was a so called armageddon day. I am not 100% sure when it was since it was quite some time ago. Also i do not remember if it was on one of the first major server upgrades or due to an expansion (someone correct me if i am mixing up things here).
On the armageddon day the servers where done for 1 day and ccp has setup a backup server and changed all systems into 0.0 and mirrored all characters. Best 24h eve downtime we have ever seen :).
Hehe, i remember this too, it was only last year. It was such an event, that every1 tried to log in as soon as the armageddon day server (on sisi) was available. It put such stress on the server that no-one could login, so we took to the forums. In the space of several hours, the thread grew to 100 pages (an epic threadnought). Theres still sigs around with "I survived Armageddon day", which originated form that thread.
Oh and ive still got some of a dread km from back then in emp lol:

Hehe, but at least it forces me not to be stinghy and fly my old cerb now, a far better km wh*ore if there was one..
26 kills in 2 months? thats bad for a ferox, i know one guy in max that had 141 kills in a ferox in a month.
I think this is my first cve post after a year and a half playing, and i just had to say, What a Plonker.

does anyone remember the F11 loads of km away safespots ?
depending on the ship u were using u had to drain ur cap a bit/lot before warping to it.
I made one on the fly in a pod and didn't thought about it and well warping to the point and back into the system took me nearly 1hour .. :/

about the jove stuff...
There used to be a storyline event where jovians brought new technology into empire and there was a really huge convoy (as i heared, i was to busy doing other stuff and could not be arsed to take a look at it). I also heared that some ppl have been shooting the convoy but can not say if anything got blown up or not.
Armegeddon day was the last day of BETA the day before EVE went gold. Everything cost 100 isk and everyone had maxed out skills.

Edited by: Bret Caliaro on 16/01/2009 18:50:02 Does anyone remember a time before sig radius didn't affect missiles?
A torp used to do 1000's of damage to frigs, could be fired from cruisers also they could hit after your ship was destroyed.
Although few could afford them but suicide kestrels were in a league of their own back then as they could fire cruise missiles too ^^.
In the early days I got a fair few kills from my last salvo hitting just after I died, was funny to be both sat there in pods and talking in convo "so I guess it's a draw?" :D

It was repeated in the later half of 2007 during a patch, it was on SiSi. EVE history

Edited by: Eben Rochelle on 22/01/2009 09:16:35 I have been to Jove spce with the clone bug and so has an undisclosed friend of mine who bought a BS for the afforementioned 100isk, insured it with all of his available isk and SD'd it for a tidy sum.
He then chickend out and go the hell out of dodge in case CCP found out and haxx0rd his gibson. this was "fairly" recently (around the time FE, PA, NBSI and IRON owned the north just before .5 waltzed in.)
*edit we didnt see any funky ships on the market but then we were to concerend with what we thought was an amazing scam to be looking, nor did we know what to look for tbh...

I will never ever complain about the UI again.
CCP needs to create a 'codec' (or is it codex?) in game that has all the significant player lore. It should be fragments hidden in 10/10 complexes and officer spawns. That would awesome and cool. |

There is a screenshot on eve-files (somewhere) where it shows a freighter which has approx 1.1m mk3 space.
alas i can't find the screenshot. I think the pilot was Khatred.... but i don't know for sure. I was packed! with salvaging components which at that point in time cost a fortune.
Also tracking wasn't implemented correct in the beginning so every shot would hit for full. Meaning that Tachyons where everyone's favorite as the ROF was very nice :)
Hidden belts. There where hidden belts in 0.0 which didn't contain any NPC's. These belts where full of nice little roids. Arkonor etc etc. Aaaaahhh the good times of mining arkonor in an industrial afk. This made me my first 100m (toke me weeks) and i bought my first dominix with it.
Last thing i can remember is dat it was possible to put multiple items in a slot. You did the following: Stack 10 expanders and then drop into a low slot. You would gain 10 times the space

P.S. This could become a very nice thread for everyone who has played eve from the beginning.

That Miner II bpo traded for the T5 miner was that the one T20 gave to BOB, which almost got him fired and made "everyone" turn on BOB?

No, I believe BoB got a sabre bpo+ammo bpo's from t20 but I wouldn't be surprised if bob leaders didn't even know that he created them out of thin air instead of winning them in the raffle.
This was like euhm, 2 years earlier BoB didn't even exist back then (evol was in SA or FA during the time?). |

you use to be able to bring up a display with circles while flying too, had 10k, 20km, 30km so on circles it was kind of cool.
and for anyone that said lag was not as bad back then try to think of constatn rubber band effect. Warp to gate, approach oh your almost there, whoosh! backwards 10km, wtf??? lol |

Just so you know you can still get the tactical overview. It's the button that says tactical overview.
