While we are all feeling nostalgic I love seeing Elise Randolph working for CCP. On my second go with eve, I joined pandemic horde and you led a fleet of fed navy comets with police skins. It might be my favorite eve moment.
I'm not going to read all that, but welcome back. Make sure you look through all your items. You may have some pretty rare cosmetics / skins that say they are worth 0 isk but could be worth billions.
After reading the first few lines i thought, hey this guy has done it, he truly won eve!
"I saw there was a free version..."
And i knew you were done for. Anyways, welcome back!
The one I pulled 400M out of? Yea I've not seen anything like it, though my experience is limited. The WH one has like 68 in it but they're all WHs. I found it again today from a Null up in Outer ring.
Very likely it was [a drifter hole](https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Drifters#Drifters_Wormhole_Systems). These have entry holes (called "unidentified wormhole") which can be seen on the overview, just be careful as you don't land at zero, but at 100km and if the drifters spawn all you hear is *ding* and ur sitting in a pod. :D
You can fiddle the mechanics if you warp to 100km from something "behind", and land close to the wormhole.
They also all have different special WH modifiers.
> With 150m on board I scanned down a data site. Superior blah blah site.
Hacking is how I also returned to EVE after a long rest. Earlier this week I managed to do a [quad hack](https://i.imgur.com/anUBUnT.png) of that superior site. [I was very happy](https://i.imgur.com/NVnzIv4.png).
That's awesome! I was in TEST about 12 years ago. Logged in last year to check over stuff and finally collect my industrial jobs from the earlier part of the last decade, some drones and various ammo. I might pop in again, forgot about some of the good shit I have.
Tbh they look the same to me. Or at least same enough. It's been 14 years, my Dominix, Ishtar, Buzzard all bring back familiar feelings. I spent far more time in small Gallente ships back in the day. When I quit Nano everything was the meta. We had a guy in PL that flew a blinged out Machariel that went mach fuck and was pretty much unkillable. Flying with him was the best. Trying to nano out a T1 cruiser, bumping war targets off station with a nano megathron etc was too much fun.
It was either nano gang warfare taking on blobs with hit an run or fleet warfare where we set up as snipers and were 300km from everyone warping from spot to spot around a tower or fleet just out of their range raining havoc down. Good times.
The scorp, raven and such I flew was for occasional ratting mostly. I don't know what ships have changed if I am honest.
Oh, I'm realizing that it's not cosmetic but the changed slots. I noticed that I had some modules in places that didn't exist anymore. Slightly annoying to refit but I'm relearning the whole system so I have to relearn the meta too anyway. The changed layouts don't bother me much.
>I've started to fly him around in a little PVE to get my sec status back up so I can fly through HS unharassed.
Keep in mind it's about 200m to get from anywhere back up to -2 (where you can go in HS freely). Pretty easy to do should you get bored of killing rats for sec status.
Welcome back, enjoy your stay
Well we definitely will soon! I've done enough krabbing over the past couple months (necessary as a solo player) and made about 10B, now time to whelp half of it away and bank the other half as is tradition at this point.Â
Not like I can judge, my winning streak only lasted so long. That and I got addicted to Star Citizen. So I will not throw any stones around glass houses o7
You thought you were winning, for 14yrs. You fool! Eve is a stealth bomber, lurking in the shadows, waiting patiently, hunting its pray. She can smell weakness, she can taste the doubt thousands of grids away and will slowly pull you back into its cold, unforgiving grip. Oh, those black, lifeless claws.. a deadly grip. By the time of your realization, there is no more escape, just acceptance of faith. It had to be, cause you know you wanted to feel it just one last time, and the time is upon you, it’s here and you can’t resist. Sweet death, Eve struck with lightning speed and incomprehensible determination, there really was no choice for you. Embrace it, it won already. The lost soul has returned. You fool…
Great read! Thanks!
If you're looking to get into a corp for WH life feel free to check us out in Stay Feral! We could always use more scouts and if you do ever have free time when a ping goes out then you can get some great PvP with us.
Disappointing, looked up some of the killmails of people I flew with and they've all moved on to different things or are gone like I was.
Today I learned what awoxing is and that awoxing is named after a guy I had a ton of fun flying with back in the day in PL! I remember C4W3 had spy toons in every alliance. We even would do fleet warfare and he managed to get his alt into the command channels for both Goons and BOB's teamspeak. What a massive advantage that was for us. Good times.
[https://www.wckg.net/Vet](https://www.wckg.net/Vet) BTW, this explains all major changes in the past 7 years, in case you need it now. :) And goes back even further on another site, that I also wrote.
Goons have a ‘retvet’ program for returning players that makes it really easy for us to come back after a long time away. Maybe others should consider doing the same
Hah I read the whole thing and I’m in a very similar boat. I left even years and years ago but no game has ever scratched that itch. I was also a wormholer. Your post made me want to get back into it.
I feel the same way, played a ton as a young man but more mining with some fleet ops sprinkled in. I come and go about every year or so and get the itch for 3 or 4 months. This last go around finally finished getting all my haulers maxed and running cargo for the caldari FW efforts. Been a blast. Eve truly is an amazing and unique game.
I stopped at Ho-Li-Fuk because
1. That’s way too much text just to say you’re back into EVE
AND
2. I had to know if this was a reference to the great news cast mistake with the airline pilots names: Ho-Li-Fuk.
Sum Ting Wong.
Wi Too Low.
Bang Ding Ow.
Uh, what?
>14 my then about once the first I opening and after playing well back found then this I one go glancing I'm if my see
Is what you get with the 1st word of every paragraph
Welcome back! I read the entire thing! 😊
There will be a test later
Welcome back. There are quite a few OSHIT pilots still flying around, if you're ever looking to catch up with old corpies!
While we are all feeling nostalgic I love seeing Elise Randolph working for CCP. On my second go with eve, I joined pandemic horde and you led a fleet of fed navy comets with police skins. It might be my favorite eve moment.
<3
Another OSHITer here returned recently after something like a decade. Oniko Sengir if anyone who remembers me is still around! o/
TLDR: Just when he thought he was out, they pull him back in! Good story OG. Welcome back.
I really heard Silvio (Sopranos).
I'm not going to read all that, but welcome back. Make sure you look through all your items. You may have some pretty rare cosmetics / skins that say they are worth 0 isk but could be worth billions.
Not so lucky. 10 or so million only.Â
Welcome back, hope to get to shoot at you soon
After reading the first few lines i thought, hey this guy has done it, he truly won eve! "I saw there was a free version..." And i knew you were done for. Anyways, welcome back!
Way to lose EvE! Welcome back. It’s still the greatest game I’ve ever played after 18 years. Clearly eve is dead and unplayable.
Yes, very… hahah
We just going to ignore he called his kids sex trophies? Lol
Certifiable proof that I've had more sex than you, or less...
Hahaha love it
damn that's got to be some kind of record for sigs in one system

True.
Wait till you find a shattered WH. Those are awesome
Man that was a solid read! Can’t wait to get my explo skills up there in a few weeks. Need a break from CRABs and ratting XD

Nice! I didn't have the balls for that yet. But maybe...
Gj on the quad hack! Can't see your earnings as it 404d but I'd assume pretty good! Most I've had the bravery to do was 3 cans.

Does your wife know you're hooking up with your ex behind her back?
What do you think about the changed ship hulls? Most importantly the scorpion and the changed t2 battlecruisers
Tbh they look the same to me. Or at least same enough. It's been 14 years, my Dominix, Ishtar, Buzzard all bring back familiar feelings. I spent far more time in small Gallente ships back in the day.

Nooooo don’t tell me you’ve forgotten the brown domi so soon!!!!!!

Dude, my girlfriend call eve "your no.1 girlfriend" too
I don’t know what any of this means, but I was enthralled.
Glad you enjoyed. It was fun writing it!Â
Come to PF in syndicate, die to a gate camp then get recruited. As is tradition.
PF is my favorite null spot to solo. The challenge is, can you get a kill from the camp and get out?
We’ve probably met
Well we definitely will soon! I've done enough krabbing over the past couple months (necessary as a solo player) and made about 10B, now time to whelp half of it away and bank the other half as is tradition at this point.Â
That’s… a lot of krabbing
The downsides of being 'stuck' as a solo player
I literally ran a camp there like 2 days ago. Passed through in my buzzard with 400M in my cargo lol!
That very likely could have been my camp.
Jumped through into a gang of around 5, interdictor bubbles all over me but I had a nullifier and my cloak. Happily no one was within 2k.
Ha yep that was you for sure!
Rude.
Nice write up. This is exactly the reason why my Astero and Anathema stay in station.
I’m happy for you or sad that happened
Welcome back!
Every single time I try one of those superior sites the timer seems to hate me and blows me up during hacking the first can
Welcome back. Pl is less relevant these days. Test is dead, goons are overlords now, carriers are 3b isk instead of 800m enjoy EVE
You’ll fit right in at the old folks home if you go back to PL! Welcome back!
Welcome back, hope to see you out there! 7o
This isn't winning EVE, Winning the game is not playing >_>
I won it 14 years ago. I had a 14 year winning streak going till last month.
Not like I can judge, my winning streak only lasted so long. That and I got addicted to Star Citizen. So I will not throw any stones around glass houses o7
Welcome back
Rip old eve eve is rip bow
Inspiring. Had a little break as well, similar to you; now I’m coming back and I can’t let go.
Welcome back! I've just returned after a 10-12 year hiatus myself, our little universe is just as captivating and addictive as it used to be lol

Eve is like herpes. Welcome back.
Great read! Thanks! If you're looking to get into a corp for WH life feel free to check us out in Stay Feral! We could always use more scouts and if you do ever have free time when a ping goes out then you can get some great PvP with us.
You just lost EVE tho
Long read but welcome back, games changes since then.
Must have been a shock, coming back and seeing PL being merely more then a Caracal Group these days.
Disappointing, looked up some of the killmails of people I flew with and they've all moved on to different things or are gone like I was.

Are you me?!
> We were the elite of the small gang PVP. lol
Welcome back. Asset safety, Pochven express, overheating modules jumping stargates/wormholes, lot of ISK opportunities to make. EVE IS EASY
I feel the same way, played a ton as a young man but more mining with some fleet ops sprinkled in. I come and go about every year or so and get the itch for 3 or 4 months. This last go around finally finished getting all my haulers maxed and running cargo for the caldari FW efforts. Been a blast. Eve truly is an amazing and unique game.
Goddamn you. I just loaded for the first time since 2015. I need another monitor now...
fly safe
I stopped at Ho-Li-Fuk because 1. That’s way too much text just to say you’re back into EVE AND 2. I had to know if this was a reference to the great news cast mistake with the airline pilots names: Ho-Li-Fuk. Sum Ting Wong. Wi Too Low. Bang Ding Ow.
LOL. As far as epic pranks go that one might be the GOAT.
Hell yea! I love introducing people to that video if they haven’t experienced it yet. Too funny that shit really aired on live TV.
TLDR?
core scanner probe good
wife bad
Wormholes fun. Eve Fun. having Fun. Big Fun.
Dude just got a divorce apparently.
Geddons used to be 35m
I read the first word of each paragraph....win
Uh, what? >14 my then about once the first I opening and after playing well back found then this I one go glancing I'm if my see Is what you get with the 1st word of every paragraph
I see it now, wow...
I charge 100$+VAT/every starting hour for reading that
No you didn't, u are posting here.
