I played back in 2003 but quit a couple years later cause you couldn't solo anymore cause the game got too popular that every system is populated with groups now. In the old days it was mostly empty and when you came across someone they were usually alone. I Liked that because you felt like you were in space and you could do 1 v 1 PVP. Now there's too many people and the community has turned into one of the worst.

Always the way, as soon as something goes popular or tries to go mainstream, it gets ruined.

 Next time you get a free re-sub offer from CCP, check out Wormhole space. It was pretty much specifically created to cater to the playstyle you prefer.

wh are very dangerous if you don't know what you doing. Some times are more dangerous than 0.0 because its totally unpredictable cirqumstances. You may enter and find no one or you may harrased /podded by players specifically with that intention specially if you flying something fancy.  And being scrambled by a sleeper while you being sniped and or/nos by players is not the best thing.

 I started from a beta version and continued for 1.5years and the last year I started again more casually.

Overall I think the most important "addition" was making the game more accessible and friendly.

Manually bookmarking jumping to 1km to gates was a pain and more things like huge jumps /lower profit etc.

While EVE is still very time unfriendly and harsh its more approachable now. 

I love the addition of cloaking, tech2/3 ships and wormholes.

Great article.

I started playing wow with rl friends and we had tons of fun back then.

Now most of us don't play. And when occasionally i join a trial i find myself wandering to some favorite places usually low level areas that many of the first mysteries unfolded for the first time and I try unconsciously to bring to my head all the vivid memories. So yes, it's kinda sad and nostalgic. Old magic is gone.

Its a weird attachment, I hope your next article can analyze the meaning of it.
 

excellent read !
