there has been many event in the test server like the armagedon day ( all skill level 5 and all ship available) and so on but there is one thing i would like to see on the test server for the old nostalgic moment of the very old player those that has been there from the second genenis or the alpha version .... i wonder of the possiblity of having a week end a dedicated to the original way of life on new eden having the old HUD, python mines radar and so on.... and let all the new player see what it was like in the begining so they could appreciate how far eve have progress over the years



Ps if this belong to a place in the forum tell me please

this would be very interesting to me, how would you reconcile with skills trained / players who didn't have a 06 character? would we all just have "all V" skills? that would put a damper on much of the gameplay i expect, but it would be nice to see the pre nerf,buff,nerf,buff, on everything .

nanoage + preweb nerf? exactly which time period are you talking about? (i am a bit fuzzy on when exactly all these things happened) or are you talking about the beta stage eve?

Sometimes, you all make me very disappointed.

First: It for the test server not the real server so impact on gameplay would be focus on that server.

Second: The skill that din't existe back then either could be tempory remove from character for the event or simply deactivated the ability themself or something like that.

Third: the all skills level 5 was a exemple of a event they did on the test server some time ago ( i only mention that one cause it the only i was able to participated :( )

Fourth: yep i meant the period of second genesis http://www.eveonline.com/features/secondgenesis/

last but not least i been giving it a slight though about the nostagia event we could run the entire sequence of major patch on a few weekend in the order of time

1st weekend second genesis: http://www.eveonline.com/features/secondgenesis/
2nd weekend Castor: http://www.eveonline.com/features/castor/
3rd weekend Exodus: http://www.eveonline.com/features/exodus/
and so on...
that what i would really called time manipulation :D

Access to old versions in the form of test servers (which don't always have to be running) would be cool.
