First off, I would like to apologize for the horrible intro video that you watched recently. It does not do much for telling you what you are getting into, or why you are even here. Why am I in this station? And why are we even here? How did we get here?

Only if you know your past, can you dictate your future.

This is original intro video, which IMO, should still be the intro video. Lol

FC, what do?

I second this. Much better than the current intro.

old storyline intro wrote:

... Take control of the destiny that is meant to be yours ...

^ This pretty much sums up EVE...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I had no clue... I think it’s a vital part of EvE and it’s a shame that it vanished into the shadows. I as a newcomer would loved to have seen it, thank you for sharing it with us.
I believe that CCP should rethink there decision. A good intro can lure many new faces into the world of New Aden, like the light lures the fly’s...

I approve the OP's statement. Old Intro is much better then the one we have now.

If you like seeing EVE history, I give you one of the oldest (but arguably best) trailers out there.

Saw this back in like 2005 when I started playing, while the graphics, combat, and other systems may have improved by leaps and bounds, it still captures the spirit of our game.

+1 that this is the best trailer...

History eh...hmmm

Gallente-Caldari war Day Of Darkness II

My personal favourite game history movie Tortuga
Closely followed by The Dronelands War
and lets not forget Killer8's Eve Online RMR

Clear Skies There are 3 Clear Skies movies ! Shocked

I got a lotta love for these :

Gallente Raise the Flag I: Until All Are Free
Amarr Raise the Flag II: Amarr Victor
Minmatar Raise the Flag III: Fear The Tribes
Caldari Raise the Flag IV: Glory To The State

Sadly this never became a full movie EvE Evolution Trailer

There are tons of other excellent player videos, not to mention CCP's own ones.

Nullsec alliances had some crazy **** back in the day, didn't they?

Excellent - moody, or what? Instant goosebumps. Never seen it before, but that should be everyone's introduction to EVE.

Thanks a bunch for posting.

My favorite is the pretty old trailer that's narrated by Salvador Sarpati. I dl-ed it a while ago, and I can't find it on youtube... Cry

I'm a new player to the game and I must say, this intro is so much better and makes me want to invest the time. Been looking for a true sandbox for a while (since....gasp SWG launch).

They totally should update the old intro with new graphics and additional informations about the jove and what happened in the last 10 years (Sansha incursions, etc).

Do you know what's really dumbing down eve? Graphics! If you really want a hardcoregame with a learning curve that even beats eve: Try bay12games.com/dwarves

Bumping.

Keep posting any 'historical videos' you can find or have saved!

Maybe we can convince CCP to redo the crappy intro they are showing now...

FC, what do?
