Need help finding something nostalgic

Many years ago (probably 2007, possibly before), during one of the expansion upgrades (or some other prolonged downtime), CCP mentioned/linked to an amusing "web-based" version of EVE. I don't remember too many of the details -- just that there was some basic descriptive text and some really awful low-quality screenshot of space and that was it. Nothing was clickable, except for maybe the first page? Been a long time...

Does anyone remember this and know where I can find it today? :-) I'd be thrilled if there are still folks at CCP that remember this...

I'm not 100% certain but I think it was hosted somewhere else, i.e. not at CCP.

Nostalgia FTW!

I think you're referring to the clusterfuck that was the Apocrypha deployment

It has nothing to do with EvE but you might like it.

Oh god.

Might have been Apocrypha, but for whatever reason I keep thinking it's older than that. Then again working graveyard shift for over 6 years really screws with one's memory...

I've tried Googling everything I can think of (eve web client, eve web version, eve web game, etc.) but there's just too much cruft.

Footnote: if I remember right Apocrypha was when CCP decided to do away with the "Classic" client and required everyone to have newer hardware...? I was one of the few who *had* newer hardware but preferred to use the Classic client because I was used to the way it looked and the responsiveness / FPS rate was significantly better. But that's neither here nor there.

I don't know about that, but here is something nostalgic for you: youtube

That's it! Thank you. :D Hahaha yes, "EVE Offline". Web search queries are only as good as the memory of the person doing the query... Cheers mate!

Both of these entertained me far more than EVE has in years... What?

Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.
