In the beginning, it was much like it is right now.

The UI was so bad, it actually made people cry. Like, literally, people cried from dealing with EVE's UI. And it's pretty much the same now.

The UI text was too damn small then. It's too damn small still. And a decade wasn't enough time to allow custom fonts and sizes into the game, something most games (especially MMOs) have had as a standard feature for quite a while.

Some people enjoyed the mining, which was as mind-numbingly boring then as it is now.

In short, same old.

P.S. Oh, and the logs? Yeah, 10 years later, they still show nothing.

yeah. the sense of "am I the first one to see this?" is gone forever.
this game has changed from a gigantic universe to explore and conquer into a small neighborhood where even the biggest fleets can reach any point with just a few jumps.

back in the days, power projection meant being able to secure your and maybe the next three systems. today it means spanning regions and more.

i am pretty sure i liked the old system more.
