EVE General Discussion

Wow cant believe it has been 10 years since i created this character. Longest running character i have ever had on a game.

What a time it has been as well. Now not that a lot of you know me or care really but i thought i would share some memories i have of my time in/out of EVE.

Flying mixed fits as a newbie, shield Armour u name it i fitted it. until a kind player shared me a link showing me Armour tanks, shield tanks etc. I still fit like crap but still it helped back then

Grinding for my first battleship and generally having to work for everything. Back then it was a great feeling and i had the time for it. These days when i can play i just don't have the time to invest

Flying with a fleet in null, FC decides to go into a WH to attack some people. No one book marks the exit or brings probes. As u can imagine it closes behind us and long story short we end up having a big thunder dome showdown. Let just say people were not happy with us.

Taking part in a PVP tournament at Fanfest and running out of fitted ships, go out in a frig fitted with fireworks. Got a laugh out of the commentator and people around me, so i was happy. As u can imagine we lost.

Getting blown up by CCP, Think it was during a hunt the dev's event. The entire fleet was flying Caldari Navy Ravens i think. Don't think i had time to even load in properly before i was in my pod.

Attending Fanfest twice and having a great time, fond memories of running around doing agent missions and the countless amounts of pizza being delivered throughout the day. (This was in the old venue). Remember one of the missions was to eat a bit of "Hákarl" and taking a shot of "Brennivín" most disgusting thing i have ever eaten. i realized soon after why the mission was located outside the toilets at the time.

Making some great in game friends that are now some of my best friends in real life and have attending my wedding and we game regularly to this day. I may have little time to play these days but i have always kept up to date with the game through the years. Loved the all the books, short stories, Chronicles, Kinda miss them as well.

Thank you CCP for making a very unique game that has given me personally so many years of fun and enjoyment. Allowed me to make friends in game and out. Genuinely helped me through many difficult times in my life and provided me with a outlet to forget the real world.

Here's to many more years

Fly safe! And if EVE does not make it 10 more years lets make sure it burns out gloriously!
