"Ehh... wh...what's that Billy? Why back in my day we didn't have them fancy Titans! Or dem jump bridge majigger's.."

So yeah. While I sip my prune juice you other old farts get in here and talk about the good old days! Like M0o (they made me into a Pirate after I died to one of their gate camps) or B0B vs G00ns. The ORIGINAL Goons. Not this bloated heap of wannabe kids on forums but the REAL ones!

The underdogs who fought Sir Molle and were cheered on (oh how oblivious we all were back then). How about Farjung? Anyone remember him? Waves Of Mutilation? It's why I have a hard on still for the VIndi to this day Twisted

So go on! Refresh my liver spotted memory. You got a good tale? A memory that sticks out to you? post it before you fall asleep again you old coot! Pirate

While not a visual, these sounds were much better in my opinion.

In my day, you had to alt+tab out of game to use a browser.

Also, we wore onions on our belt, as was the style at the time.

Hello. I have been in my corp for so long, that I am practically a NPC.

Once, you could eject from ship after initiating warp and the ship would head off on its own.

No warp to zero on a gate, you had to slow boat from 20 km away. Some people made fortunes selling the bookmarks for every gate in high sec.

I remember back in my day,

most kill mails had a Drake, or Hurricane on it.

We had learning skills to that could help up train skills faster.

You could see a kill mail where 1 Titan killed a whole fleet with a well placed DD

the Geddon was a bad ass laser platform

The Domi was the best drone boat around

Super carriers left a trail of death behind them from frigs to other capitals

we didnt have armor honey combing or reative armor stuff young folk have

The Sansha were far away and new eden didnt need to worry about incursions

The maller looked horrible.

Back in my day we didnt have T3 cruisers

T2 seige blap dreads never keep me up worrying at night

Big alliance fleets had squads and wings of ewar Scorps and falcons

Smartbombing NYX's on low sec gates.
Gallente Hull's looked like they were made of poo.
No Training Queue, having to either log in at god awful hours to flip skills and/or having a load of near completed skills that you only trained while logged in as they were a few hours from completion.
Lazors sucked and Hybrids were better.

Mining in a thorax, the best mining cruiser about, with 8 heavy drones for protection.

Playing one Sunday, and a pop up suddenly appearing congratulating everyone for a record player count of just over 6000.

Paying 60mill EACH for an arbalest cruise launcher!

mOO corp, fecking scary bunch.

My first death, to a cruise missile launcher fitted kestrel, piloted by P1rate Dave. Evil bugger he was.
