I first started eve when i got a Gateway which was a potato. I would freeze up and get podded because how weak the processor was. But I was 14 or 15 it was late 2014 early 2015 for me. ---

I first heard about EVE in 2008 but it wasnt until ads started poping up on Youtube in 2009 that I finally took a look at EVE , thought “what the hell is that game??” and gave it a try. I started just as Apocrypha launched pretty much. I was 20 then im over 30 now and ive took many many breaks from EVE but ive just the last few days had the itch to check it out and play again. How is the game now? ---
