The forum were fun, ships were fast and the drake was worth flying.

All I could think of was this for some reason

musical noise


FAKE EDIT: Oh, and when I was a noob I thought a million ISK was a massive sum of ISK and a Battleship was something Gods flew.

when i was a noob, i started with 1k more SP's than isk. I had 5k isk.

When i was a noob, the thorax was THE mining cruiser.

... when i was a noob, dual AB/mwd was the only way to fit a pvp ship.

... when i was a noob, mining the minerals for your next ship was the only way to get one.

... when i was a noob, the first corp mate with a BS was a god....

and the only t2 ship was an interceptor.

... trit cost .3 isk, and i was outraged when it went to .8

15 drone domi...

getting an offer from my RnD agent before rage quitting, only to come back 2 months later... and cant accept it.

ahhhhh, the memories...

128m SP's later, i'm still a noob.

saw my first hyperion in Pator and thought it was a freaking titan.

...I made the mistake of joining Eve University only to get kicked a few days later because I decided to not stay docked because of the idiot FC's orders with 250 other cowards in station while there were just 3 enemies outside the station.

I undocked, tried to kill them in my Catalyst, put one of them in low structure then exploded marvelously.

Was reprimanded, argued with the FC for being an idiot and making 250 people stay docked when up against 3 interceptors, got kicked a few days later, I was 15 years old then.

After that I got put on this list and some false bullshit was said about me on the Eve University private forums:

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/The_Departed

Also, the destroyer loss killmail (This was my very first ship, never used frigates before I moved to Destroyers, so the setup was ****):

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=1775271

But it was a good thing, because while later I moved to 0.0 and stayed there for a few years, best time of my gamer life.

While in 0.0, argued with a CEO in my alliance about random crap, and a few days later he decided that it would be nice to gang up on me with 5 of his ***** friends while ratting in my very first battleship, and kill me, then pod me, then lie that I was a spy and get me kicked out of my corporation back to empire for a few more months until I found a new place.

Notice the ***** blue killers (And the crap setup on the Domi since it was my first battleship, the reason why the mail is from one year later than the destroyer mail is because I quit Eve for a period due to school):

I was 16 years old back then, and the douchebags that did that were all over 30, and of the same nationality as me.
Later on I found out that the douchebag CEO did that because he was pissed due to the fact that I left his corp to join another corp in the alliance, real mature of him.

After that, I had a fun encounter in space with Verone, and survived somehow due to what was mostly luck, then Verone offered to take me into VETO corp, but I declined because I did not approve of pirates at the time, I consider that one of my biggest mistakes in this game, that would have made my Eve career SO much more fun, unfortunately Veto corp is now closed. Sorry about that buddy, love your work, and thanks for the invite!

That being said, **** Eve University and the protected carebear environment they create and encourage, none of the bullshit they teach is actually useful in the real Eve, just like school is generally just filler bullshit for real life.

Also, **** blue killers, spies, backstabbers, liars, thieves and traitors for creating this environment of paranoid idiots everywhere that eventually made me sick of the political bullshit in 0.0 and made me move to empire permanently, and causing me to only log into Eve once every 2 months to change my skill training, I am now 22 years old, have a job, a fiance and other **** to do, also moved to another country on my own when I was 20.

Stories are made in this game, some stories have good endings, some of them have bad endings, and some stories just end up logging in every 2 months to change skills, because they are busy making other stories elsewhere more important.

That was my story.

I was told everybody would try to kill me. I ran out to join an alliance that was all talk and no support fleet. I was chased back to high-sec where I was war decced but the enemy wouldn't chase me. I then went on to tinker with various game mechanics, then this one time in banned camp...

Not a bad, "I know everything" attitude for a noob.
