Just wondering how many of us old Eve farts are still around playing?

Show your age to these youngings nowadays.

Back in my day.....

We didn't have warp to 0.
We had to set our alarmclocks to change skills, cause we didn't have a skill queue.
DUST bunnies were the things that collected in the back of your monitor.

Although the account is six years old. Well ...... I suppose you could be a honorary member in training :) But we can't teach you the secret handshake. Also, if you haven't been active for the entire time there may be a few inside jokes and things you may not be privy to.

... can't remember, much less count, the number of times RL required a "Sabbatical" from EVE since Beta. One war and several seasons on gas rigs, such is life.

Yea what he said! I find it discriminatory to say you had to play straight for 7 years! Not very LGBT friendly

Lol.

I too am a 7 year old toon, however I have taken numerous breaks from EVE.

That said, I remember BoB, t20, he whose name cannot be spoken, T2 BPOs, CCP Tuxford, Burn Jita, boot.ini, the sorely missed warp to 15k (although I do not miss the infinite bookmarks of doom), etc.

And through it all, Caldari ships have been **** in pvp.

No tractor beam... loot could take more time than killing the stuff, flying to cans 60 Km from each other was a nightmare.

Took me 3 weeks to buy my first combat frigate and I lost it on Worlds Collide L1 after being able to survive the 1st encounter with an actual pirate (player) in low sec with only 5% hull left - I still have his Char on my contacts list. Blink

Good times!

DOB 19th Nov 2004. When Rubicon launches I will have been playing for 9 years. Never had a break though sometimes I'd only log in a couple times a week.

In my day....

Copying Insta bookmarks... grrr.
T2 was new and Capitals were just a myth.
Buying (and still owning) the original retail version of Eve.
Watching Xetic and CA slugging it out in Yulai (no one had heard of Jita)

Guess i qualify. Maybe i need to put some grey hair and and a long zz topp beard on this guy, and some cheap sunglasses!!

This was a second account though, may have to fire up my first account and check the main on that one, which was a miner/industrialist that i stopped playing years ago. That toon predates this one by several months, which would put it sometime in the summer of 2004 me thinks.

Guess i be gettin' kinda old........

This Toon was Created on the 23.11.2006 09:38.00 EvE Time

And I have had this Toon for 7 years on the 23.11.2013

And I have been active all the way through the past 7 years with this Toon.

Did not stop playing EvE or had taken any breaks.

CCP you have one dedicated player who has seen the game changed over the years.

Yes I do remember the boot.ini saga but that did not affect me as I waited for CCP to fix it and after the fix I downloaded the fixed patch file.

Well hope the Future of EvE will be more interesting :)

Not continuously subbed though due to RL kicking me repeatedly but my corp has been around for 6 years and 8 months by itself.


Still mining after all these years


If only I could use plex to get all those skill points I missed in those lapses lol
