The story about the t20 incident. If a game’s developers play the game themselves AND cheat in it, it must be good. ---

I yield! I yield! Please fine Sir. They made me drink it. Honest! Nasty potato whiskey. At least where I come from it is its equivalent minus the stinky herbs. Corn whiskey is much more palatable imo ---

I totally looked that up. My family’s from Kentucky, so we’re no stranger to some moonshine. I do remember running across an abandoned and spiked still during my undergrad field school. I remember explaining its ins and outs - and then later explaining to my professor _why_ I knew what it was. 😄 –Gadget still prefers a good G&T ---

[frugalsworld](https://web.archive.org/web/20050205193812/http://forums.frugalsworld.com/) Some of these cheeky feckers decided to get me involved when Eve went live in 03. They filled me in as a forum regular about how dangerous and deadly it was. I went to the local mall and bought myself a CD copy of the game, loaded it and created a character. I still remember going from gallente space to our home HQ in caldari space thinking each jump I was going to die in a fire. I miss them feckers Sometimes I run into my old corpies Then I put it in reverse and back up over them again… I miss them feckers sometimes!!😈 15 years later, thanx Frug. Stil miss ya ya salty bastage!! Fondest memory was you all excited about afk badger mining and tell the crew. Running zyd to the manu base through mara and getting jet can lag fooked by mOo. ---

Hello, for me it was a random search. I was sick of basically every MMO being the same fantasy bull ■■■■ so I googled a sci-fi MMO and found the best game ever! Not only wasn’t Eve fantasy, it was dark and hardcore and it just sucked me in! I wasn’t sure what I was even doing for the first month or two, but that was the beauty of it. It’s the only game where players still learn new things after years of playing, which is simply astounding! So yeah, best random search result ever! o/ ---

I found out about Eve while playing a game called Jumpgate from another player in 2001-2002. Of course at that time it was in beta. He told me it was similar to Jumpgate, but was more of a strategy game. I played the beta from October 2002 to the time beta closed and had a blast. Played it again in 2003 - my first character being a Caldari female named Atrina and played on and off until 2014. I always enjoyed the game itself - the game mechanics, missions, ships and components, but was never a fan of all the drama from other players in Eve. I actually prefer single player sandboxes. But, yeah… good times. [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/what-brought-you-to-eve/52011.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/what-brought-you-to-eve/52011.md?page=4)
