This video was made when Eve Online was at its absolute best, a real meat grinder of an experience, a symphony of online Brutality with a learning curve that was like falling of a cliff. My happiest days online ever :) I wish it were like that now.

[@Turaelin]

Man you said it. I played from 2010 to 2020... Lived, flew, fought and died exclusively in Anoikis... wormhole space, Negative Sec, with my 2 RL sons and a few close friends. Those were the days huh?

[@giantnerd14]

I miss Guard, he was amazing at getting this community.

[@tru3sk1ll]

Guard - Game master hall of fame!

[@MagnustheJust]

11 years later, and this track still kicks ass!!

[@wingspantt]

o7 CCP Guard, we didn't deserve you.

[@feiryfella]

Miss Guard!

[@undeadpeak]

CCP Guard the Dev we got and wanted, but the not one we earned. where every your journey leads you, fly safe my friend.

[@psymcdad8151]

[@dirk480]

Why did Guard leave CCP? Was it because of the new owners?

[@DenethorDurrandir]

Haven't been keeping up with EVE for a bit, learning that Guard is not at CCP anymore feels just wrong, thanks for your service Guard o7

[@riotalice2381]

whoop whoop that's the sound of the space police.

[@cliffitir]

He really was Guarding EvE from destruction, after he left, it really went downhill

[@edwardpaddock2528]

Sad, but true . . .

[@Krestianx]

Holy shit it's been 7 years and this is still on my top 5..

You sir have a bad taste in music

[@wolvarine35]

i think this music tastes like chicken.

[@domcartie]

you sir completely do not have taste in music. My mouth is being filled with womit masses every second I listen this donkey poo. And a pig poo where they playing kinda gay metal.

[@dirk480]

@@domcartie you play Eve? I suspect you don’t

[@ryanjackson8002]

Can we have the annotations back!! Was great seeing what all these guys did in their day jobs!

[@KanedaSyndrome]

Love the techno viking reference LOL

[@skyzefawlun]

I had been on the fence about EVE for a long time... Then I saw this video and threw my money at them. Absolute respect.

[@Blackmercy2]

farewell CCP Guard and fly safe in ur new life. It s been a long journey and we ll miss you in CSM aswell in the events.

[@domcartie]

really i'm starting to get eager on leaving this game immediately reading your post. It is good, but just screams to me: "Run away before you became such a clown". No offence though.

[@deckape67]

This just popped up in my feed, years after I stopped playing. If EVE were to return to the HTFU days, I'd play again. The game is nothing but a cash grab these days. Miss you Guard!

[@grothaal]

Ah yes, CCP was sold right? I dont know how its going these days

[@silverhawk7324]

This video made me switch from LoL to EvE best decision of my life.

[@X-me]

Years later and this video is still awesome, i love you guys :)

[@danne77sthlm]

I must say I love when ccp does these stuff, they are really funny bunch and for me this means they show they got humor and are having a good time at their work, that is important stuff!:)

[@securion100]

Me and my wife are old EVE players and we just loved this! VERY good work! :) Moooooar! :P

[@rash9488]

Played for about 10 years starting from the beta. Was such a great game then, I do miss those days. Take me back to the W-Space wars of old.

[@sagewaterdragon]

This is a work of beautiful art. Now, if only I could get into the game properly...

[@IrishSnowPirate]

Need a hand?

[@iropliskin5802]

All Permaband songs are just genius. *I LOVE YOU CCP!* :^D

[@ShinigamiGrin]

2023 and still listening Any vets from when this was released?

[@cptbiscuits]

Showing someone what CCP used to be

[@tru3sk1ll]

Yep i watched this when it first came out, taught me what techno viking was

[@navnig]

I began playing in 2004 and let my subscription lapse in 2016....

[@sionfish]

When eve online was good. 20 years of playing. This was the fun times.

[@laycey]

Freaking awesome. you dont see any other devs put in 1/4 of the time these guys do making an effort to communicate and amuse their fans. Goes a long way with peoples patience. its funny too how they actually made a kindof catchy song hehe

[@jamesdavis-mann706]

I was there at fanfest when this debuted, not listened to it in years

[@Whitesolarwind]

2009: We reach higher than the giants in operations Patience soon well be crip walking in stations 2016: Still no walking in stations...

[@jameslaub9082]

Whitesolarwind lol right

[@TheMaw365]

What, one room not good enough for you people :O

[@Whitesolarwind]

^this guy shouldnt play eve!

[@LaughingMan_d8D]

2017: CCP admitted to the frame work for WIS (i.e. Captians Quarters) was hobbling game development; Captians Quarters removed from game.

[@outerheavenman]

I didn't play eve for five for walking in stations. I played for destruction, chaos, destroying subcaps

[@tru3sk1ll]

Just chilling here in 2021 pulling this video back up, amazing

[@tru3sk1ll]

Same in 2023

[@tru3sk1ll]

Same in 2024

[@felixsasdasd83]

ccp rly this is what makes you amazing !!!

[@Pliskkenn]

I was amazed at how well put together this is, and it's kinda addictive.

[@BloodyBulwark]

Had to link this to a corp member today. They had no idea why everyone was telling him to HTFU!

[@OmegaNexus1]

Bugs coming at us like in Starship Troopers. I love that analogy.

[@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

Woop Woop, its the space police.

[@sagewaterdragon]

Happy tenth birthday, Permaband.

[@asphere8]

What other game studio does _this_?

[@asphere8]

Dun Hilda I will never know the truth of this statement. WoW will never appear on my computer.

[@reeereee7083]

+Dun Hilda Not made by actual developers though.

[@reeereee7083]

+Dun Hilda That wasn't a dev band.

[@TruckPlusTitan]

+Nox Solitudo Actually. A good amount of them did work at CCP at the time. And CCP Guard is still at CCP.

[@Draczar]

+Nox Solitudo ETC members are Samwise Didier (Blizz concept artist), Chris Sigaty (SC2 lead producer), Dave Berggren (Senior artist), Mike Morhaime (President and co-founder) and Alan Dabiri (Senior programmer). So yeah they were all at the time part of Blizzard.

[@DenethorDurrandir]

Completely forgot about Technoviking, suddenly I got remined of that wonderful era of internet

[@PandamoniumShorts]

Techno Viking? LOL, holy fuck CCP. I'm buying 3 months of game time next pay and I don't even play EVE. It seems like working there would be a dream come true.

[@UndercoverPirate69]

Still love this track. Those days where awesome!

[@Zachev]

WOOP WOOP Space Police!

[@WarLily]

LOL nice guys....been playing eve for over 5 years and still love it!!

[@startide]

Thank you CCP_Guard o7 Fly safe !

[@Shadd0wz]

I miss you, Guard

[@Jelle1880]

Recently started with EVE, it's insane how helpful the community is compared to other MMO'S. Love it so far, and CCP is doing a fantastic job.

[@itsvipehd4727]

how is it going? still playing eve after 11 years? ^^

[@Tibruk64]

I love you guys so very much, you made my year when you linked Eve: Online and Starship Troopers.

[@King-yj2jx]

This was inspiring

[@paulik1984]

When you see this, you understand - what a wonderful company. It must be fun to work there! Good job, guys!

Still waiting to crip walking in stations, but yeah!

[@xela6349]

yup and the space police still makes woop, woop. Though didn't CCP sell or close their Atlanta Studio?

[@snailmailgames6335]

Yes.

[@ShipsGoPop]

Eve was so much better when this dropped... miss those days.

[@RichardCMongler]

I'll still be here listening in 2024

Wow (no pun intended), your clear phrasing and obvious train of thought have shown me the light.

CCP is what all game developers should be. But most have lost the plot. If I still had the time, I'd support EVE with my wallet.

[@tarron3237]

2024 and I miss Eve. I miss these amazing times. Been to Fanfest 4 times, but at some point I just disconnected. It's like with WoW - the good old times don't come back. So sad.

[@emosreno2101]

Got this song while tanking a drekavac+C5 combat anom with my 2x XLASB onyx, was pretty fun

[@BEstudent]

Are they saying HARDEN the fuck up? Can't understand the first word! These guys are bosses. Not just any bosses, big fat endgame bosses!

[@TheGahta]

Its a pun aimed at game lingo, armor and shields in eve online are hardened to increase resistance to damage.

[@BEstudent]

***** Ah yes thanks! I think I will start to play this game....read alot about it. Now to conquer it! :D

[@TheGahta]

Evert Clowting then have fun, but remember, joining a corporatin after the initial tutorial/career agents is the first step to find your way between the stars, eve university or brave newbies are solid places to start from

[@BEstudent]

Lol all sounds good......and the cookies are a good selling point :')

[@alpha_One_One]

lol i cant get enough of this stuff! i can just see those devs in game flying around in their polaris frigs playing that song

erm.. are there any openings at the CCP Shanghai office? ^^

This video is epic and the referance to Techno Viking was halarious. Gotta love eve baby!

[@LoremasterYnTaris]

There's a CCP office in Atlanta!? I know where I'm interning.

[@Tibruk64]

***** So plenty of room to move up the corporate ladder, right? Lol

[@ocdtrekkie]

Nothing cool happens in Atlanta. Think all that's left their is Marketing?

[@christopherpiper2203]

Atlanta was the location for their World of Darkness MMO development team. They canceled that project, canceling most the employees there as well. Pretty much, if it isn't directly associated with EVE Online, it's not going to happen at CCP for the near future.

[@ocdtrekkie]

***** Doing WiS would've been a lot more valuable than CCP wasting time for eight years on WoD.

[@ocdtrekkie]

***** WiS is something CCP is going to need to stay afloat as competing games are released. Nobody needed WoD.

[@sipucke709]

This might be the most epic win I have ever seen. Go ccp! I'm gonna play this as soon as I get my shiny new Dominix!

[@Srixun]

Still a good song, however they should make a new song following CCP's new proposed changes. "We're making eve easier, Ease the fuck up"

[@Drew10th]

Srixun I approve of the quality of life upgrades. Eve shouldn't be a gut check just log in and figure out how to do basic shit. The HTFU part should be about the do whatever you want to whoever you want playstyle.

[@iroqpliskin3544]

Srixun Where is it being made easier? As Donald has said, there have only been Quality of Life improvements in the past months. *Harden The Fuck Up*

[@Srixun]

Incursions, WH is crazy easy, al;l the ships are nerfed because people whine so hard, eve is too easy, it used to be hard. -Eve Player sice 2003.

[@iroqpliskin3544]

Srixun *Harden The Fuck Up* I've been playing since 2004 myself and can not agree with you here.
