I bought this game at Wal Mart in 2003 or early 2004. It was the only box they had of Eve in the game section and I had picked it up and looked at it several times over the course of about a month. It was an online game and back then I didn't do a lot of online gaming so I wasn't sure what to expect. But one day I just said screw it and bought the box. I remember the first time I logged in and there was this little counter that said 800 other people were online and I thought holy shit that's a lot of people. I remember taking a frigate way out into 0.0 space and there was nobody else within 20 systems of me at least, just me and my little frigate noobing around the universe. I eventually got blown up by some npc pirates but man what a feeling it was to think I might have been the first person to see some of those planets and belts. That feeling always stuck with me and even after the mighty player empires rose and claimed their territories in null I knew I had been there first to shine a light in the darkness with my little frigate.
Your right, long time ago this game only few people play at that big galaxy and get bored easyly because its need so much time just for goin form planet to another planet🤪🤪🤪
This is pretty awesome. Haven't played since 2006, but being included and seeing the names of my old mates brought back a LOT of memories. Even better - old buddies pointed it out to me. The community is still alive after all these years.
Having played since 2003 this is a great reminder of what a great game it is. Gads, I was 53 years old when I started playing it! Can't imagine how old I am now...LOL thank you CCP
The best thing about this trailer, is that what would be standart game propaganda... Are facts in this game. Battles of unprecedented scale? Eve hold firmly the record of the largest video game battles ever fought. Achievements that became legend? Few games ever end up in the news thanks to in-game events orchestrated 100 percent by players. Eve is on eof them, maybe even the biggest exemple. And the most beautiful part is that no matter how small or new of a player you are, you are part of it. These small, almost worthless item you sold to makes some money may have been bought by a mighty corp, and then fitted to one of the ships of a vast fleet that waged a war involving thousands of players... No matter how small, your actions matters in the grand scheme of things, as minerals become ships, ships become wars, and wars lead to further demand for minerals and ships, as nothing lost just respawns without cost.
I never took the plunge on this game, but holy cow this video is impressive. I can only imagine how people who actually know something about the game's history felt watching it...
Ever had a fond moment in your past, something you and your friends achieved? or how about a crushing defeat, failing and watching things fall apart? EVE has been a roller coaster for most of us, and hearing some of those stories back to remind us we were THERE, it was important for us, part of us. We were not doing it as a story to be told later, but as something we WANTED to win, and the emotions, drive and time we spent on it are treasured memories. Atleast for me. we all are different. and that also is what drives EVE
Elite: Dangerous is here and standing pretty strong. Star Citizen... might be coming? EVE was first. EVE Online was the first massive, galactic-scale sci-fi sandbox shared by a global playerbase. And now it's 15 years old. 15 years of rampant expansion, petty squabbles, massive wars, intriguing treachery, and heartwarming comraderie. As someone who has dived shallow into both Elite and EVE, I'll say this: Elite may be set in our galaxy, but for those of us who play EVE, New Eden *is* our galaxy. Fly smart, Capsuleers, and fly together. Here's to 15 years I've had some fun time occasionally being part of. Here's to many more. o7
I've been playing Eve online since I was 12 years old. I'm 20 years old now currently attending college and I still play Eve Online. Honestly the best sandbox out there that still has love from its developers. Only other game that I know of that is a different genre that does the Sandbox and Social aspects pretty close to Eve Online is Mabinogi but Mabinogi has been shown no love and is a pay-to-win cash grab filled with trash. I'm happy Eve Online is in 15 years and still going strong, lets make it another 10 at least CCP.
I love EVE. As a game, it's not the most amazing thing ever but that's not what is important. EVE is unique in that it is almost entirely shaped by the players and the community. There is no need for extensive plot, no need for in-depth backstory. Entire books have been written on the players themselves. This is what makes EVE unique and this is what will keep EVE alive for years to come. I am proud to be a part of this fantastic universe and I wish everyone the best in the years to come! Fly Safe! o7
May it live forever.. Because if the community ever weakens too much, this may sign the death warrant of the game. Because eve lives thanks and through its players. In many games, no players means there is almost nothing to do... If that happened to Eve though, one may argue there wouldnt even be a game anymore...
Those were the best years of Eve really. It's a bit of a joke now if you ask me. They should never have let Goonswarm do what they did to BOB. It killed the core players off and just let Goonswarm rule the game after that. Got very boring and you couldn't leave for the other side of the universe because no one would take you if you because everyone got so paranoid that another Goon plot would be in motion. A line needed to be drawn for the benefit of the game. Now it's been forced to adopt a partial F2P model because so many have left, and churn out shitty content like this new PvE thing just to stay relevant and provide streaming content. It makes me sad to see because Eve would have been fine and really didn't need strreamers and "infuencers" to survive if the core player base had been kept alive.
I started playing in around May of 2016. It was overwhelming at first, and frankly still is... but damn it if I don't love this game with all my heart. I've already got some of my favorite events and stories in gaming for me from this game. It's changed my outlook on how games should function and how persistent universes can be done. I love this game. Thanks, CCP. o7
There is an overwhelming since of pride when the music really kicks in. A community like no other and a skill set that won't allow any but the best to play and enjoy it. Droczen Drevek o7
I literally got tears in my eyes watching this. having played this game for 13 years now. This video brought up many memories, lots of good times with some really amazing people. Having been part of many of the events have were highlighted in my time in game. And I hope I can have many more good times.
Played from 2006 to round about 2013 until i stopped. Saw this Trailer and it instantly reminds me of countless reasons that made me spent so many years with EVE. Thank you CCP! Thanks for all the memories, thanks for honoring my tiny little part in your game‘s history!
Watching this trailer really does bring a smile to my face. I started playing this game when I was 13. Now I'm 17 and am one month away from graduation. I've loved every second I've played in this game. Ever kill, every loss, every friend gained and betrayed by, there really is no other game like it. It still fills me with adrenaline at some points when I take a few risks. Thank you for such a wonderful game CCP! And to all my fellow pilots, fly safely or fly dangerously! o7
Oh man, I just got back from FanFest and _hoooo boy_ did this trailer bring out some emotions. I can truly say that I love this game; not like enthusiasm, but that the game is a work of love by CCP, the player community loves the game and gives back to one another so much. You can feel how much heart there is in the EVE community. Congratulations for 15 amazing years. Here's to (at least) 15 more. EVE Forever o7
Man, this game is awesome. The game with true freedom to do what you want and actually making history, and is still moving along and approaching the 3rd decade
I started this game in 2008 and cannot imagine the last 10 years without it...curse you EVE and the addiction you have become...Best wishes for another 15!
It may not be perfect, this universe you've grown. But it's the one we all share, these same stars we roam. And when our time comes, us capsuleers we know, that what which lies, beyond this world we call home. Eyes forward, o7
Been playing this game for 13 years...both me and my son who started playing when he was 12...I can't even begin to explain how many adventures we've had, how many friends we have made ...Thank you CCP for the most amazing game! Veto4life!
This is awesome! So many famous and infamous names and events I recognize from New Eden's history there. Also saw at least 1 battle mentioned which I took part in. Long live EVE
What sets Eve above all other games is the careful meticulous Dev team that listens to the community. Find me a game that has progressed and improved as much as Eve has in as many ways from the generation it came into existence. No offence to other gamer's games but Eve is the most unique experience that has ever been brought to the MMO space. It's so good that there hasn't even been an Eve "clone" like some other games. :)
The legend himself, the creator of Teddybears, one of the most DOMINANT and famous clans with only 15 players in it, should be here, MYAL aka MyAlterEgo!
Played 400 hours of my life now, still brand new. This game has so much to offer, only downside is I don't have free time to play it anymore, Once I fucking retire i'm gonna blast this shit till I die.
To those gamers who haven't tried Eve yet, it's free to play now. You'll be immersed in a free world where you can do whatever you want and the only consequences come from other players (except killing in high security space, the NPC police will kill you, but hi sec makes up about a third of the galaxy). You can be whatever you want, a miner, pirate, commander, politician, scientist, industrialist, bounty hunter, trader, hauler, spy, scout, black or white knight, tour guide, tourist.....anything at all, it's up to you; and you can change careers easily, most toons can do most things, and you don't even have to have a career either. This is the world us '80s nerds wished we had back then, you know, before it was cool to be a gamer, before the jocks started playing console games. If you played any sort of RPG, you'll love and live this universe (it's like Traveller on steroids); there is literally no other game like it, because it's not a game, it's a second life.
Curse Alliance was where I lost my first BS (I was in VOTF) to Stain Alliance, I became an alliance FC, then Black Reign was my home corp (Shout out to 12speed & USS Omaha), I created Fatal corp and Fatal Alliance was dream come true... RL events killed it all and all this is now history. I spend 10 years in eve, I still have my accounts and maybe one day I will return. Its a time sink like no other (My main "Gunship" has over 320 days playtime - thanks for looking that up GMs - LEGO visit a long time ago). Enjoy the ride and I hope eve-online will continue forever.
I made great friends in this game since 2008. Some of them have passed in this real world. But in EVE their characters still exist. Their names written down both digital and on the monument outside CCPs Headquarters. Sometimes I re-visit their Character Info. Look at the time passed since the NPC Corporations became their homes forever and forever grateful for the awesome and fun times both they and this game has gifted me, I am.
Havent played the game since 7 years now. Was active around 2006 to 2011. I was there as BoB was taken down without a single Shot :-) I was there as we tried to calm the North as IRON left and G wasnt really caring about Deklein anymore. At a time as you fought fights with Battleships and not with Capitals. That was the best time in this Game imho! I would still give it a shot today, but i know how time consuming it is and with a Job and a RU-vid Channel to care about, no time left for EVE anymore! But its really an amazing Game. Everyone should give it a shot. Its the best MMORPG out there - for sure!
Yay, I'm a part of EVE's History at 2:18 thank you CCP and the EVE Community... you made me. Blessings be... #spacepope (If that's my face on a Keepstar, how many miles tall is my nose???)
I'm so Proud of You (Happy 15's Year) All it took was Killing any chance this company had to make any other game (like Eve 2 ""We don't need a Sequel we have Eve")
I've been playing since 2004. I do take some breaks from the game but Eve was the game I always went back to play. I'm in a really good Corp and alliance so null is very fun and somewhat safe to fly in.
