ISK didn't have the decimal place, so Tritanium could only be brought/sold for 1,2,3 ISK per unit.

…highsec belts, stations, and gates were dangerous places where you could get ganked with little provocation.

Cruise missles on Kestrals. And cruise hit all targets for the same damage, no matter how small.

Pray tell, how is that different from today?

Let Caesar never forget, though he may rule with the authority of the gods, he is allowed to rule by the whim of the people.

Having a super cap actually meant something...and when pod killed, Aura told you she wanted revenge and somehow that made you feel better

Today, they're not particularly dangerous and the provocation needs to be a fair deal greater.

i remember a time when there was no sucking up of alliances, hell, i remember when there was nothing but corporations, and even then, there was little sucking up between them.

now, every alliance has a big pair of lips, red with smeared lipstick.

mining in a cruiser for weeks to get a BS.......

Mining in apocs with miner II's cause barges didnt exsist

Eve was much bigger when warp to zero meant a mad dash 15km to the gate - afterburners worth training for !

Learning skills......

freighter escort duty to null sec............always fun couple of hours !

Camping HED Gates when interdiction first came out and annoying hell out of anyone trying to get through

tell anyone today that eve was better before and they wont believe you
