Just out of curiosity what were people doing after 6 months playing EVE (assuming you can remember)

And where do you think you'll be in 6 months now?

6 months in I was deciding whether or not to train for tech II weapons. Lol

I was probably somewhere raging that every time I tried to go to null sec I got blown up at a gatecamp. That's when I learned that I was probably good for a career in industry rather than PvP (Eve was my first MMO btw).

Arguing with the terrible UI and dealing with random client and/or server crashes.

I'm just past that boat right now..

Currently I am pissed I don't have a second monitor and I am struggling to learn the basics of PvP...

Hey at least I have Tier 2 Weapons and Modules!

Mining Kernaite in a thorax with 5 miner 2's and 8 ogres in the drone bay.. mmm. I was ceo of my first corp with some buddies, but they all left to join CLS and Ascendant Frontier right after the XF War in the south. I was also itching for kali (exodus) to come out, or was figuring out of I wanted to get a barge or not. I forget if kali (exodus) was released when I was 6 months old or after.

Currently in a worm hole, playing on the tail end of my 11th wind in eve... sigh, nearly 10 years is along time.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Ah, them were the good ol' days... Black Rise losec shooting Quiet.Storm and getting ready to move to nulsec. At the time, faction warfare sucked big donkey **** and Black Rise was pretty much dead. Just the ocassional day-tripper, wannabe pirates camping Kinakka/Onnamon and Ikoskio/Ichoriya gates, and groups like ours with the desire to involuntarily violence other peoples' boats in e-honoureable space combat.

So much bad. So much fail. Good times. Killed my first BS rat in a belt in Iralaja using my trusty half-ass skilled Drake.

Well, about 3-4 months in I was invited to a channel called the space bar. I was 17 IRL at the time as was already running a fairly successful corp of about 30 members. We were a mining corp and the most recent expansion being Quantum Rise were were all working hard toward getting ourselves an orca.

We did eventually get it which was an amazing effort for us...but then we ran out of goals and it started to peeter out.

However, as a result of the space bar channel I was slowly dragged into some drama unfolding. The creator of the channel wanted to be the defacto non-official-help-chat for the newbs and his gimmick to make it work was making a point of having everyone using in-game voice.

It was working too. Not only was he teaching them but also leading them in newb fleet through level 4s. The Combat oriented newbs would join him in combat, the salvagers would come in and clean it, and the miners would mine w/e was in the deadspace.

Eventually someone got the idea to make a corp together since they were having so much fun....

That was the first bad idea. When it happened there were so many people trying to join they had a waiting lsit for the guy to train more corp skills. And inevitably a newb got can flipped by a greifer corp, and the greifer corp realized they had about 300 newbs on their hands...

I got involved in the war at some point, proud to say I killed the greifer corp's CEO at one point with an autocannon prophecy.

Around that 6-7 month mark though the whole thing had folded, tne space bar creator had disappeared from EVE (only to return several times over the year to attempt the same thing), and all the cool guys that originated from the space bar that didnt care fro the war and just wanted to have fun had broken off into their own channel. Several of them I still talk to today :D

Everything about this story is so much better than the one above

For a start, it sounds plausable

I was in low-sec exclusively doing exploration and looking for targets of opportunity. My main ships were Pilgrim and Anathema.
