So another thread out there is posted by a player calling himself "one of the oldest players in Dust" - he's been around since August 2012. Got me to wondering - how many other closed beta vets do we have, and which one actually is the oldest that is still active. Please post your the date you first signed into Dust. I'll update the OP with the oldest reply each time I see it. I'll start.
I first logged into Dust on May 21, 2012.

I logged in the first day of the closed beta, the very first day of when we were able to play dust.
Assuming you were an Eve player, then your log in date is the same as mine, as I also logged in the first day possible. That said, there were some earlier before it was opened to a lot of Eve players, so you might be one of those. When, exactly, did you first log in?

This only shows since we moved to Tranquility. It does not count our time on Singularity.

Good point - I'll check mine to confirm and update if needed. I'm going by memory.

Correct - nothing from closed beta was moved to open beta because of the change from the test server to the production server.

I have been wondering if there are still some of those True Dinosaurs walking amongst us: those who got randomly invited to get the very first beta keys during December 2011. Assuming honest post, Alex would be one of those. All bow down! Orz December 2011 is the first time to my knowledge CCP accepted any outsiders to Dust. Man, I was so evious of those... Tried all the tickets etc... There was a survey for eve players in November 2011 asking console-related questions. My tinfoil theory for me not getting an inv was that I was too heavy Eve user they didn't want to disturb with consoles. Oh and I did not have PS3 at that time, only bought it two months later in anticipation of Dust.
I know one of the guys invited to the December release of the closed beta - but there were only a very small number of them. He doesn't play anymore preferring to stick with Eve.

That's exactly the reason why I think they are extremely rare. They are/were first of all loyal Eve players.
Agreed 100%. He has actually been playing Eve since it was released! Yes, for over 11 years now... I've played Eve off and on for about 7 years, though I am unsubbed at the moment. I run 4 accounts and don't use plex. Well, I'm trying to get out of debt and $60/month helps pay off debt quite a bit so... I guess I just mean I'm about 16 months from playing Eve again lol

I first logged into Dust on May 18, 2012.
EDIT: confirmed via PSN Store actual purchase date (and yes I logged in that same day for the first time). Back then I was known just as "Forlorn" because I created the character without a last name by mistake.
EDIT: new leader is ResistanceGTA born April 18, 2012 (though I do believe that his real character is something other than "ResistanceGTA" as this is clearly an alt). Nova Knife
Given that nova knives didn't exist in game when it was first opened for closed beta, I would say it is definitely possible there are plenty of older characters.

Nova Knife Given that nova knives didn't exist in game when it was first opened for closed beta, I would say it is definitely possible there are plenty of older characters. That's a very strange line of reasoning. Nova had the name before they ever put the knives in, since that was in the latter half of 2012 as I recall. Nova, Grideris (CCP Logibro), and whoever CCP Frame was before he was hired all three ran some of the oldest Dust fansites, we're talking these things started in 2009 kind of thing. I'm pretty sure they managed to worm their way into the 2011 friends-and-family alphas, though none of them are on hand where they will answer so take that as you will.
Very interesting. What you say is possible, but then that would mean they named an ingame weapon after her, and I've never seen anything to that effect. I would think that would be a huge marketing thing for CCP and they would have made an announcement to that effect.
I don't doubt you, but is it possible that Nova renamed her account after they were released? We had a complete character wipe in July that year as well - including having to create brand new characters. Actually, we had to do that every month for the first few months, as I recall.
Also, a website can be renamed as well. Just thoughts. Until Nova posts here though, it's all speculation.

If you remember a certain heavy going toe to toe with a tank, you are old.
If you remember the best way to kill someone being tricking them into walking up stairs while looking at said stairs so they fall through the map, you are old.
If you remember unlocking objectives, you are old.
If you remember BPOs being 35 Aur, you are 'kind' old.
If you remember MCCs moving, you are old.
If you remember being able to kill an MCC with a rail turret, you are old.
If you remember buying Aur JUST so that you can get a Universal Translator and talk to everyone in chat rooms, you are old.
If you remember the damage bonus from Light Weapon bonus skill giving your passive damage bonuses PLUS access to damage mods, you are old.
If you remember corps having corp duels and putting up prize bets, you are old and annoyed at not doing that anymore.
That's what an old vet is. Making a clone and letting it sit gaining passive doesn't count <.<
Yes to all of the above. You've left out the fun bugs that we used to have.
Dumb fire swarms fired at your feet.
Endless vehicle spawns.
White screen scope on SMG's impossible to see through.
Killing DS with an HMG (not really a bug, it was a thing)
Hearing enemy comms, but talking to your allies.
Hearing enemy comms, and talking to your enemies.
Sound effect from interia dampeners following you the entire match announcing to everyone you were there.
And dozens more that have been rehashed time and again on these forums that I no longer remember.

You are more of a troll I think - and you should post (in your own thread) what is wrong with the game, otherwise you sound like a petulant child.
