Everything went down the tubes after Aegis had come upon us. Hordes of homeless people in supercapitals are roaming the vastness of space, looking for a place to stay the night. And as if that wasn't bad enough, it takes them ages to do so thanks to jump fatigue. It's a tragedy I say!

(Just kidding, the game is just as bad as it has always been)

One can still sit outside Jita and hold a cup, so long as you promise to double it, even though you won't.

James 315 is still a thing, not really, but yeah (lorelorelore)

Citadels are the new POS, but POS are still POS.

Machariels are now cheap and L4 boss ships

GOONS (tm)

CODE(LOL)

Skins! Now you can die in technicolor

PI is even more important than before.

Alpha clones replaced the trial account systems. I think it is cool, but some don't.

Orcas and Roqs can actually mine now, but they are getting swings from the nerf-bat (Roqs more than Orcas)

NPE!

Moon mining is going to change Soon(tm)

um..er.. yeah!

Nullsec is a bit messy at the moment. The blobs were forced to consolidate and actually use their space. We have this absurd situation that wars are fought over space that nobody wants, and once the war is over the winner struggles to find someone to install there so the looser doesn't take it back right away.

Small gang is still best gang as far as I'm concerned, but it depends on who you ask, I suppose.

No idea about wormholes. They still confuse me. Weird, newfangled stuff.

Also welcome back to Eve.

Since CCP added Alpha Clones (free game play with limited options) and Omega Clones (subscription game play with unlimited options), it's definitely worth it to come back and play. Which Clone status you pick is up to you.

May you have good luck and much success in whatever you decide to do.

I came back after years of not playing, and am more into the game than I ever was.

Feel free to join me in game in the "Realm of Mischief" channel.

Same for me.


I was gone for a year and a half but within an hour or so of gameplay, EvE sucked me right back in.

This bittersweet universe still is the only place worth playing IMO.

Fleet boosting is now on grid, rather than system wide.

The days or making sure your clone is up to date are gone.

I can't remember when they got rid of learning skills, it has been a while.

Faction standing mean very little now. Anybody can stand up a POS in high-sec. (at least until they are removed from game)

R&D science agents were nerfed in to the ground.(note to self, I should do another run, has been ages)

Probing has been refined a few times.

You can manually fly your ship in pitch and yaw if you really want to.

AURA Chrissy left and was replaced with AURA Cindy

Skill Injectors! Now you can farm skillpoints. If you have the cash, I've got the brains, lets make lots of iskies.

You can remodel your character that nobody can usually see, for a price.

For reasons I've never bothered to look up, there are parked NPC titans outside some stations now.

In no particular order

Off grid boosts are now on grid and requires some attention to not explode.
Watchlist is by concent only.
This had little to no effect on null but uterly befuckered the merc trade.
Fitting simulator.
Hotkeys for probes and d-scan.
New map.
New probe screen.
Second class citizens everywhere (alphas).
The lechesis is now probably the ugliest thing in space.
I got Anslo to shut up.
Goons lost all their sov,
Then gambling was banned.
Someone nicked I'll of code.'s stuff and it was hilarious.
Crime watch is still a dumpster fire.
