Welcome back good sir.

Of all the many changes in your absence, the single most important thing to know right now would probably be the changes to crimewatch, because this could probably get you blown up: http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/73443

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Thank you for posting that. At 22:17pm I think I will read that in the morning! That is some information to take in. Not sure I understand the differences yet.

There is a kind of "safety switch" now- if you do not disable it, your guns may not fire when you need them... but take your time and read the whole thing tomorrow, it's really essential for you.

Tank Ceo still doing what he does best?



I ran into Tank CEO on his alt i think it was in a friend's eve chat maybe 6 months ago. He's still around. I don't know him personally but just thought you might appreciate knowing he's still playing eve.

Tank CEO's old noob rage video from the days of old has remained a true paragon of eve educational material ;)

Warning... may be NSFW and so legendary it;s even in 240p!

Another thing which has changed is that a lot of alliances and corps moved the communications out of game, so corp and alliance chat are now on jabber or other chat services. This has to do with the fact that CCP doesn't want images and movies with a sexual theme posted, so we do that outside the game now, so we can hurt the feelings of underaged people without repercussions.

They should make this game 18+. Lets be fair, based on what i see in the latest eve movies we are all NEKKID in our pods, and our bodies do not exactly look clothed when you get podded.

I also highly recommend the capsuleer images and movies with a sexual theme which is available on Goonswarm comms. Gives complete new meaning to the concept of pod-goo.

Yeah, I see Tank CEO around from time to time. I don't know how active he is anymore, but he seems to be hanging in there.

You'll have to rework most, if not all, of your fits. We recently have had most every ship in the game rebalanced and some of them changed fairly dramatically. (Example: A Geddon is now a drone boat.)

Good to see another old face back in game.

Good hunting.

Truth be told it's a different game now, everyone has gotten lazy & fat. All of the feuds and real wars have gone, it's just people pretending while they bear it up for their next supercap. Metagaming, dumb game mechanics (bridging mostly) and the simple fact that the game has been out for so long and everybody knows everybody else means the game world has become very small. It's boring and bland. People will of course still pose but in reality nothing really happens, at all.

Pretending to be some body ? No, I have better things to do :)

Did I "plex" to be expecting everything to be like 2005? ....No... why would I come back wanting it to be the same ? Im back hoping for a fresh game, loads of new toys to play with and new friends to meet.

No one cares? Don't reply its honestly that simple. But you should care im back, like you should care that any one re-joins EVE because its a sandbox MMO..Every one needs every one to play else its a lonely universe camping a gate for no one to pass :)

Looks like EVE is more Counter strike and less political than the old days.


Its still just as political.

And as everybody else has said, Bob is gone. They reformed under IT Alliance for awhile, died as well.

Molle went and started playing The Old Republic, but they still have their yearly BBQ.

Mercenary Coalition broke up, with some of the corps still being around. BDCI went to Pandemic Legion.

And the Russians still tend to stick together

Cyvvok returned for a short while... Can't remember who he joined up with. Hell he could still be around, but the fact that I am not entirely sure only reinforces the fact that he hasn't done anything notable.

Goons died... Then returned and now run rampant across New Eden with their alliance consisting of somewhere above 10 thousand pilots.

Tank CEO left, then came back apparently last year for awhile. Again, another person that didn't do anything notable on their return else I wouldn't have had to have been told by somebody that he was back. Rumors abound he turned into a carebear.

Oh, and super capitals such as Titans and Super Carriers (The old motherships) are so numerous that its not uncommon to see bigger fights with a ton of both on either side.
