Not too old but:

The first thing you did in the tutorial was shoot something.

Jita had belts.
Kisogo and Jita used to be connected directly by gate.
There where no titans.
BoB was still there.
The tutorial was awfully long and it didn't give ships and skill-books to you.
0.0 was the subject of much hyperbole.
Curzon Dax made funny music
A well known and respected forum warrior namend Dark Shikari stalked the forums.
Crumblecorn's desu sigs where a common sight in the forums too...
The cyno-effect was much cooler...

Pray tell, how is that different from today?


Concord didn't exist.

My first fight was against another Ibis on a 0.7 gate and I just narrowly won it.

Remember M0o?

I used to be one of those people!!!!! LolLolLol

6x no-stacking-penalty gyros and 6x 1400s anyone?

Imagine Tornados now if stacking penalties still didn't exist Shocked

Remember seeing gate camps on scan and logging off/in 3 times to land at a safespot and avoiding the gate camp? :shakesfist:

You must have been the only player without thousands of bookmarks 15km behind every gate. Not our fault you suck at Eve.

First page of the forum full of whine threads why having a skill queue would kill EVE.

Missions gave you stuff besides isk. I don't know why, but I miss this.

When you logged in, there would be rp reports about a missing Caldari Scientist or the latest political developments in Amarr. There seemed to be many more in-game events involving devs. Though I never rp'ed, I always thought all this stuff was awesome.

RP corps and alliances (are some still around?) - added a cool flavor to the game.

Making endless amounts of bookmarks so travel wouldn't take forever.

Spending forever waiting for the client to copy the bookmarks so you could share them with the corp.

Battleships were the biggest ships.

Sometimes you'd hit dock and step away, because you ship was going to slowboat into the station, and come back and your ship didn't dock. Sometimes this resulted in bad things.

Couldn't customize the jukebox.

No contracts, pi, salvage, scanning, cap ships or pos's.

Trade goods were bought and sold by npc's. Fledgling traders would spend their time buying garbage (yes, literally garbage, among other items) in one system where the npc's sold it cheap, and transporting it to another station where they paid more for it.

No good deed goes unpunished

dude... how did no one (including me) not mention:


  • Setting an alarm clock to wake you up in the middle of the night to change skills
  • Changing what skills you were training daily (setting a long skill on every night you went to sleep, setting <10h skills to train whilst you were playing

There were no ship previews , only a small Icon picture on the description. When you saw a new ship in space you took pictures of it and sent it to your mates.
