1. the original implementation of the new war system and the following being at war with most of EvE. Short lived but more fun in those few weeks than the whole rest of the year.

Retribution

Ice interdictions

Freightergeddon

People dubbing me "that megathron guy" and being given the green light to fly them in every single fleet.

People convincing themselves that highsec was dangerous due to a truly insignificant number of kills in two or three systems.
Hilarious.

2012 was a GREAT year for me.

What made my year:

Trading

1) Selling in January the ices I bought in Now 2011. Hulkageddon V was a good earner, I even blogged about it.
2) Selling in May the ices I bought in Feb 2011 and also mined in April - May. Easy 2-3B a week. Thanks to the "Hulkageddon forever" campaign.
3) Bought a massive stash of high ends at rock bottom prices in Summer (i.e. Zydrine at 600) and sold at peak price before Dec. 4 expansion.
4) Heavily speculated on tiericided Macks and made a killing (Tippia will recall the debates of those days).


PI
Passed 8B yearly revenue.


BPCs
Achieved the 1B passive income a month thresold.


Manufacturing
Self crafted from zero (mining, BPOs researching and inventing, including every self made T2 mod etc.) my T2 fleet including JF and Vargur and a number of smaller ships (mainly blockade runners, and Macks). Made 3 mining fleets for reaping Hulkageddon V rewards. Researched and made a carrier.


Investments
Passed my 30th investment in other people.
Launched my first investment ever. 100B worth funds including my little self made shares exchange, including orders book and charts. Earned my Investors about 4-5% in 2 weeks.


VAERT Charity:
After having donated >100B, now net assets value is back to above 50B.


It's not all but some of the best things cannot be said.

1) Miners rewarded for sucking again.

2) Highsec got safer again.

2) FW broken again, somehow even worse than before.

3) King Goon made a boo-boo. Got a slap on the wrist. Career Goon haters wept tears of pure joy.

4) Canflipping died. Hard. It was dragged out in the woods, forced to dig a shallow grave, then shot in the head.

5) Global flagging for theft introduced because CCP recognized people weren't going to join competent corps anytime soon.

6) Traffic light installed on every spaceship.

Hmmm, 2012 highlights courtesy of CCP.


Broken promises,

Abruptly changing direction,

I'll go with "Visiting the trade hubs and starter systems in my frigate". It was a lot of fun and I was happy to see everyone. Even if people tried to shoot us.

New missile FX followed by missile nerf

Every Amarr rat got a new tracking disruptor

Light drones got a 30 second life span

Moon goo money shot most of nullsec

Really bad CCP movies of some short guy that goes to jail

The latest fixes to FW were very good ones CCP. I think retribution was a killer and crime watch 2.0 makes so much more sense than before. I even like the safety because you can turn it off (those pop-ups were very annoying).

highlight of 2012?

when i saw that ccp were happy with the barge changes and that every one mining in mackinaws is now known as "diversity".

i've never laughed so hard in my life.

their are a lot of good things that happened in 2012.

But CCP promising something a little to often, diminish a lot of good things for me personally.

generally speaking the 180 ccp did as a company, and being able to navigate the self-created trainwreck in what ultimately was a short amount of time

burn jita as well, ganking y'alls was a blast

Realizing that making money for its own sake is boring and stupid and investing it in many glorious deaths instead.

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.
