There was no criminal flagging, so you could be jet-can mining away, and some guy could fly up, scoop all your Ore and fly away with nothing you could do about it.

Not to repost an older reply I did during a possible "Eve may be slowing down (but not really dying yet)" thread, but after reading this thread, I mentioned some of what I remember back then in the linked post that should fit within this thread.

As always, thanks for reading.

Every other day I would petition b/c I was stuck in a gate.

I would spend 2 hours a week making gate-to-gate bookmarks.

The Firox was a mean missile-based battlecruiser.

Nothing could escape a null-sec bubble camp properly staffed (no cloaky nullified tengus).

There was something called a "convoy" in which freighters w/ massive support would try to make it from null-sec to empire.

The gravity of all serious alliance operations was in null-sec.

Eh ... jump drives/bridges were the worst change. Convoy ops were a blast.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

A plex used to only cost a hundred and some million.

It is a symptom of madness that thoughts become uncontrollably disjointed. This can be encouraged.
