This story was written at the end of 2004 and portrays the first two years of my time playing Eve-Online. Over the course of a few weeks, I intend to post the story in its entirety, as well as expand and write more. Please remember that as I was quite young when this was written, the quality of the work is not on par with what you might see me produce today.

Part 5: My Switch

I switched, I went from CEO to member, I loved it. The burden was no longer on my shoulders. I had no more members telling me they died or asking if I could lend them money to buy a new ship. I had no more recruitment conversations to go through and no more corporation obligations to do. That was gone.

What happened in the beginning of October is that m0o corporation came back to the game. All the old players who were so well known for camping the Lonetrek region were back to playing the game. I spoke to The Reverend, CEO of m0o corporation, presented my offer to him and got an immediate 'yes'.

On November 21st 2003 TLBC split up, I selected twelve of our best people to come join m0o corporation, we were allied with the CA fighting against the SA. This was deffinently one of the best decisions I ever made in Eve. Joining m0o was going to take me places I had never dreamed of. We were the elite, we were rich, we had skills and nobody could defy us. The SA were crushed like little bugs, we killed so many of their ships while barely losing any, it was just amazing.

The best catch, the kill I'm most proud of in Eve, ever, happened on December 1st 2003. It was stortly after the Amarr Championships and luckily for us, the winners of those championships had been members of MASS, a SA corporation. Grikls Imperial Apocalypse went down in battle just above the station in DSS-EZ, I respect him greatly for taking that ship into battle.

This lasted for about a month, by then we got bored with the Stain Alliance. Our next target would be the Coalition of Free Stars. This would be one of the biggest gankfests that have ever taken place in Eve. We came, we saw and we beat the **** out of CFS. They never stood a chance. We absolutely raped the whole alliance just by camping their chokepoint, A2-V27. We must have killed over 20 battleships in our first night there.

By this time the m0o kill list was created, a way for the public to see what we were upto, a way for everybody to see the destruction we were creating. Regrettably the first week of our CFS trip is not recorded on the kill list. Our alliance crushing continued. Stain came first, CFS was number two and third was The Fountain Alliance, this is deffinently the best alliance-crushing I have ever taken part in.

FA looked tough, they looked strong, they even built us a 30-40 ship blockade to stop us from getting into their region. It didn't last long though, everybody has to log off sometimes and when they did, we snuck through into their key system, YZ-LQL. As was to be expected, a lot of fighting took place in this system in the next two months or so.

This was the same story, FA got raped. We utterly crushed the alliance. m0o had grown significantly in the past months and was upto about 50-60 members. Even with only such numbers we crushed the alliance. We discovered safe spots, we won every fleet battle we entered into, we beat them in every perspective. Those kills make up a good portion of the m0o kill list. In the FA days I flew a scorpion, I was one of the target jammers, cycling between targets and rendering a portion of the enemies ineffective.

Part 6: My Other Self

Like most people in Eve, I have two accounts. I had a friend who quit the game back in the days of Atlantic and he gave me his account, since then I have maintained two accounts. My second account has always been my money making character, a way for me to fund my fighting character.

Recently though, I created a corporation for my second character and started recruiting. He is now the CEO of a 60 member corporation operating in 0.0 space, mining precious ore for profits. Throughout the months I have gathered a lot of wealth and possess seven battleship original blueprints, all but the Megathron, which I will buy soon.

When I say 'My other self' though, I'm not talking about my alt. I'm talking about my friend Paddyman. We've been through everything together. We first met in FOA, we then moved on to Atlantic, TLBC and then we joined m0o. Everything that I have I share with Paddy, I wouldn't have it without his help. We've struggled through hard times, we've taken some good and bad decisions. We have traveled, fought, ran, attacked and defended together for the past 16 months. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be playing Eve anymore.

My other character, Fenian, is the CEO of Aztec Industries. If you want to know more about Aztec, check out www.simnet.is/chase (in-game). The corporation members know that I also have a pirate character and they don't mind. We are currently recruiting so if you're interested in joining, let me know. We have a lot of experienced members aswell as new people, one thing I like doing in Eve is helping newbies get started, they are the meat of the future, if you know what I mean :)

Recently I would say Fenian has become the main and Vegeta the alt, as most of my time has been spent building up Aztec Industries along with some old friends, its a lot of fun.

Part 7: My Break

Back on track, m0o was in Fountain, killing literally hundreds of ships before finally getting bored and leaving the area. By this time I took a long break from Eve, I had exams and was pretty much bored, I wanted to try out other things. I picked up SWG, reached Jedi'hood, got bored, played Warcraft 3, got bored etc.

During my break m0o crushed the CA in frigates, they increased a lot in numbers and when I got back, I was very surpised to see that some of my former enemies had joined m0o. People who I had fought were now allies. I didnt really mind since they were all good fighters. A lot of my old friends are still playing and I try to keep relations with all of them. Also m0o was suddenly allied with Evolution which has been one of my enemies for a long time.

All in all, I think the break was good for my Eve-career. It helped me see that Eve truly is the best game out there. There is no game where you can be as free, no game where the market system is as complex while still being very comfortable in use and you only have one server which makes for an amazing playerbase and community. Of course the game still has some issues, but what game doesn't?
