EvE Online: One's history in EvE Online

In just a couple of weeks I'll be playing EvE Online for 5 years now, a lot has changed. Both ingame as to myself ingame. Going from doing a 100 trips between a belt and a station mining veldspar in a comerant to make 1 million isk to running an almost daily mining fleet with a professional attitude.

With the website evewho, ones employment records are no longer a secret, yet ones actions to change corp are.
For me the reason to change corps have been the usual and dull, I felt the direction a corp was taking was not the direction I wanted to go.


My story in EvE begins a few weeks before I started playing, I had just switched colleges and had not much contact with my fellow students. I heard some were playing EvE Online, so I decided to start playing to.After some deal making with my parents, didn't have my own credit card then, I started my account.

On Friday15 december 2006 I create my first character 'Resender', a caldari, but soon after a few minutes of playing he didn't feel right, so I scraped him. 24 hours later I created the character I'm still using today, a gallente called 'Resender', after a few shooting rats and doing noob missions I bought my first ship, a gallente Navitas frigate (I still have the ship after all these years), I fitted mining lasers and moved to next door system to start mining plagioclase, which was a/is lot more valuable then veldspar.

I was contacted by some one representing the FTC, and I got in the corp Sunday the 17 of December 2006.
I was a weekend player back then so things went slow for me, after a few weeks I found a system with no rats and barely people in it (now it seems to be filled up with bots and other people), I found 15 jumps an enormous distance.

Things kept this rate for the next 2-3 years, fortunes came and went, I became familiar with EvE and better at mining.

In december 2009 I stood at a cross roads, together with my best friend in game. The FTC wanted to leave the alliance we were in, but we didn't agree we knew that the alliance wanted to move to Pandemic Legion (PL)controlled Fountain.
So me and my friend joined House of Blackstar(HoBs) and we went to Fountain.

However nice songs don't last long, PL was kicked out of Fountain and HoBs drifted, we ended up in a new alliance under systematic chaos(sys-k) in Period Basis. It went fine untill sys-k's was wardeced by C0ven and Stain Empire, plus that due a spy incident we lost blue status to IT Alliance we had lost out supply route through Delve. HoBs decided to pack up and leave, I who had invested much in our stay in Period Basis decided to join those of the alliance that went to sys-k.

6 weeks later and 2 billion isk poorer I arrived tired in empire, sys-k had fallen, mostly due to stupid fleet commanders (FC) who couldn't get their act together. At the time Providence had fallen and the CVA had retreated, the FC in sys-k saw it more important to do roams through providence then to attack C0ven and Stain targets.

I rejoined HoBs and spend 4 months in the wormhole we had claimed, making decent money, but Hobs was flickering and by December 2010 the corp was pretty much in active. Me and my friend rejoined the FTC.

The FTC joined Sev3rance(-7-), which was part of the Northern Coallition (not the NC. version) at the time, when the NC fell, -7- rejoined their old allies CVA and helped reclaiming Providence.
And things went well.

Then suddenly near the end of September 2011, the FTC got an offer to join jagged and make billions in Russian controlled space. I disagreed, especially since the deal sounded shady, my friend agreed to but because he was experiencing health problems he couldn't be online much.

I decided to see what jagged was like, but only after a few minutes I decided to leave,the alliance channel was one constant spew of miscellaneous conversations, mostly selling,buying and fleet order stuff, there seemed to be no social hierarchy.

So I left the FTC, alone, a fe days later the FTC was attacked by allies of -7- in their new home, and the accusations started flowing.

Tired of it all I quit the last chat channels I still shared with FTC members.

So after 5 years you can see how a lot can change.
