Decided to give Eve a spin when I found this trailer on a PC Magazine CD.

Back in 2003, I was in Best Buy just looking around and happened upon it. I read the back of the box and it seemed to appeal to me so I bought it. I think I still have the CD somewhere too.


Same here, saw it on shelf and picked it up. Still have original case and box and manual Pirate

I wouldn't consider myself an old timer (2006), though I'm probably approaching it irl. Blink

Around 2003 I recall reading about it in PC Games magazine and they had this trailer on the cover CD. The voiceover, the graphics, the technical options all got me interested. "I promise...".

I was staying in student digs at the time, but didn't have an Internet connection. I did eventually give Eve a go when I got Broadband and have been playing ever since.

I used to play freelancer.

I used to go to a site where turning off the flash adds is grounds for a banning. So it read my cookies when I would log in and spammed the **** out of Eve for me.

Ironically, that was when MMO's were kinda newish, and even tho I had a great job making CPU's at Intel, I wouldn't pay. Then when they laid off 10's of thousands of people and I wound up with a ****** paying job, I started playing EvE. I needed a ME reward.

are serious business sir.

and don't forget it
