In my day we used a 14,400bps modem to login to the BBS and we traded space port pairs to death, then turned around and robbed them. And we started corporations just to fly the Corporate Flagship, and we stayed out of FedSpace and FedSpace patrol lanes, and we created our own planets to defend...

AND WE LIKED IT!!

Warping anywhere sounded like you were driving 200 mph and had your head leaning out the window. While yes, 'there is no air in space' it gave the act of warping a pretty epic sound to it.

If they could combine the new warping visuals (which are a vast improvement IMHO) with the OLD warping sounds, I'd be a happy vet.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

We had mines...and I would get Concorded for leaving them in nullsec while I travelled in Highsec.

1. Sir Molle went Tick Tock, Tick Tock and alliances went BOOOOOOOOM. so usually did Sir Molle's Apocs.

2. Miner 2s were Shiney and had 7/8 on a BS mining and Miner 2 BPO was a ISK Printer.

3. 27500m3 Cargo Space on a Iteron 5 with 5x Local Cargo Expanders was the best Hauler.

4. Crashing the Server when our fleet of 50 jumped into the Fountain System making a total of 200 people in the system and the CCP guy begging us not to jump in but secretly wanting us to.

5. Lagged when coming out of warp at a gate, even if nobody on it.

6. Safespots with no chance of being Probed.

7. No Warp to Zero, Bookmarks to gates (Still got mine, that work at least)

8. Joves, and disembered Joves.

9. Events that were actually cool and CCP Driven. Such as the Jove event and events before T2 BPOs came out.

10. There were no Tech 2 BPOs apart from Miner 2s.

11. Battleships were the biggest and best ships to fly. No Battlecruisers, Destroyers or Capital ships.

12. It was Safe to mine solo in HI-Sec and Asteroids were big.

13. Noone Selling or Buying ISK.

14. The Main Alliances were Curse, Stain and Fountain Alliances and there was no Alliance button or officially an Alliance.

15. Evolution and M0o Corp working together for the 1st time to destroy the Phoenix Alliance.

16. The ability to use 10-15 Drones at a time.

17. Tritanium cost 1.2isk per unit and 2 isk per unit was scandalous.

18. Torps went 100km and hit frigs for full damage.

Back in my day,

- We were able to have 15 drones. (5 for Drones V, 5 for Advanced Drones V, 5 for ship bonus per level)
- Losing a ship meant something.
- You could warp even if you were warp scrambled (had to initiate warp before they pointed you)
- Arkonor in low-sec.
- The spinning EVE logo on the logon screen that made a cool drive by noise when it spun close to the camera. I used to watch that thing for hours.
- Using 3 mwds on a Thorax to go 17,000 m/s and using the directional scanner to find drones that people left in the middle of space.
- There was no T2, no capitals, don't even think faction ships were in either. Best ship in the game was a Battleship.

I'm sure i can think of more if i tried but meh, 2003 was rough, you kids today have it easy...

Edit:

- Was able to chain spawn in belts and have literally hundreds of loot cans littering the area.
- Had to actually buy the box game and install via CD (i still have my box, my manual and my CD)
