The graphics offcourse where only half as good, you could see stars and clouds, but they felt really far away, over half of the ships wheren't even there and did not have half as much detail and colors, alott off skills have dissappeard over the years, you do get them reinbursted and many more have been added. Doing missions was easier, not a reall challenge, plus you did not get alott of loot.
offcourse alott of bug updates. My oldest memory, is me flying thrue space going thrue sobaseki and getting my ass handed to me, by a battleship. High/med sec Gate Camping, was commen then and a reall pain in the but. Also reall money trading was more commen, offcourse they did not want it, but trying to fight it was more difficult. As for PVP and corps, i would not know what has changed for them, i do know however that alott of great corps had risen and fallen over the many years. its just like comparing a pentium 3 or 4 with the modern i5 and i7. There is change but the core/essence of it is still the same. Not sure how it was in the first year/beta. But i'm sure you have played old games before and know that they improve with each sequel, graphic wise, etc. Plus of the stage we are now with modern day computers, in the many years to come technology with games just becomes better and more reallistic. So to me it would not be a suprise if in another 7 years time, we would actually have the feeling of flying in space or beeing on an alien planet fighting our wars. Seeing the details of our surroundings as we do now when we look around.
We would have twice as many dropsuits, vehicles, weapons. atleast a few every year. skills will be added, so we might have a 100 + skills now, in a few years time that number will have doubled. Eveything becomes more complex, different ways of making money will be added, now we just have the same kind of buildings, but those will become different aswell, maybe even boarding ships.
The idea's that people have in there head now and the ones ccp have offcourse, alott of these things can't be added now. but many of them will be added to the game over the many years to come. Even with eve's promise off walking in station's, it's not off the table, they just need to make it and that takes time.
But ok i'm sure you get the general idea.
