Filling out a multi-sheet spreadsheet just to undock in a shuttle.

Back in my day, people played the game and didn't spend several hours every day bitching and whining on a forum about every petty little thing they don't like.

Missions that were happening at gates or stations ..... actually happened at gates or stations. In one you undocked and rat waves start spawning and "attacking the station" (really they just attacked you). Others happened 200k off gates so it was pretty common to see a raven fighting rats when you jumped into a system.

We had some famous pirates ,

Tiller ( the guy had his computer under the stairways at home and painted the room black to match his pirate personnality)

Ginger magician (self proclaim the best pirate in eve with the highest kill/ratio according to him )

Both had a oversize ego and were famous on the eve forums for their posting.

You know, I think I remember that..... then I realized that I could be a forum warrior while at work.

Jint Hikaru - Miner / Salvager / Explorer / SpaceBum In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Yes they did. You propably didn't notice it though, because you were one of those people playing the game instead of reading the forums.

Its quite sad to see that the devs no longer have Jove chars.
And oh how i miss the terror of seeing a TomB post in a ship balancing thread. (damn nerfbat of his)

GM Guard > I must ask you not to use the petition option like this again but i personally would finish the chicken sandwich first so it won´t go to waste. The spaghetti will keep and you can use it the next time you get hungry. Best regards.

II read 80% of the posts and no one had mentioned Torpedo splash damage

There were mines on gates and in asteroid belts. I hear there are still some anchored out in deep 0.0

Ginger Magician was a god with his 250km alpha range.

Motherships were the largest class of vessels.

When mining in high-sec was profitable in an iteron v.

When there was no GOONSWARM, oh how I wish.

When BOB was the largest entity in game.

Those were the days... when extended "downtime" you better set a long skill trainer because it might have been 1 day before you logged in again.
