@Thaneize If I remember, this login was only available to us during beta. As soon as the game client shipped fully, it became trinity, this was gemini.
I played it in this version on a 56kbps dial-up connection. Logging in sometimes took the length of this video! And as for docking/undocking/jumping - go put the kettle on!
I'd almost like to have them load up the old version on one of the test server so that all these bitter "It was better in 200*" vets can log in and see that no, it was not in fact better"
I've played EVE since beta, early spring of 2003 and this is still the best login song. :) I ripped the soundtrack ages ago and this is my most played song. <3
THIS is what eve always will be to me. There's something raw about the ring of that sound that gets me every time.
I always wished CCP would put out a 'retro' client to pay homage to the GUI that had the circular target icons, the dashed light hitpoint hud, and the roman subheader fonts, etc...
I miss buying 100 day, actual scratch cards at my local gaming centre... ;(
@rbellev HOLY SHIT I had the exact same idea about the retro client! You know maybe release it for 1-2 months for the newer gamers to see the origins of EvE and for the older gamers, like ourselves to experience the nostalgia! :D
@rbellev oh hell tell me about it, I bought eve a few years ago, but I never played it because the free month that was supposed to come with it didn't work :( a couple of years ago I finally started playing it and I love it and wish I'd played it sooner when I had the chance. Gemini 934 is the exact version of the client that my EVE disk installs and I have to say I really prefer this login screen to Incarna.
First login screen I ever saw when I started EVE, I still wish they had this one, as imho, with the music, it was the best.
