- We're bringing in a whole new intro movie with Eve Online: Apocrypha, so here for the video vault is the old introduction, concentrating more on the deep storyline of the Eve universe.
More information can be found at www.eveonline.com. What type of pilot will you be?

All these years later and I still say this was EVE's best intro
this trailer never has stopped giving me chills up and down my back
It wasn't a trailer. It was the intro when you were opening eve. You had an option to skip it, but i think when i started playing eve, i was watching it most of the time lol
@@BullRadu even openings can be played as trailers to show the player a back round so player under stands more what they need to be doing in eve's opening here it gives the player an idea what they should be doing and shows the player what they can be doing thats how i took it when i played eve back then in 06
I played Eve for the first time in 2003 and it felt so heavenly and majestic. There were only 4 classes of ships. Frigates, Cruisers, Battleships and Haulers. The magic that you felt back then had sadly been lost.
To be fair, this may be natural. People explored EVE since then. It isn’t frontier anymore. Which doesn’t make it not sad.
They really need to go back to the feel of the EvE universe that this trailer gives.
i cant like this comment enough
Indeed, last I played, they fell far from their original glory
yes yes and yes again
They won't , the old devs that embodied that feeling are gone from CCP
You don't necessarily need them, if their ideas, that are their heritage, could be evolved further and understood deep/thoroughly enough to do so.
Their "job" was to introduce it to us and "ignite" our "Flames of Inspiration" - that they have beautifully succeeded in.
Yet, to corrupt these ideas instead of cultivating them, would - and probably will - lead the Game's Company into its economic downfall.
A brilliant and Epic Idea such as this can attract enough people to create what looks like an entire "movement", if properly nurtured and cultivated. But the delicate steps to do so are far from being able to be sustainably implemented in our current short-term-profit-driven System of Economy, that we have right now.
If the currency were - much like in Star Trek maybe - "discovering and cultivating one's own talents as part of contributing them in their best-possible way to Society and Humankind as a whole under the Principles of Human Rights", for example, that might be less destructive/detrimental to such an Idea. But establishing that will need a lot of painful changes, that most of Humankind is far from ready to endure. Yet: change is inevitable as Reality quite recently has shown us with increasing pace and intensity, i.m.h.o.
So, all is not lost quite yet - but the chances of hitting a "Great Filter" (as described in "Fermi's Paradox") are increasing as is the pace of change, i.m.h.o. because we seem to lose track of something extremely important: the fact, that cooperation - not competition to the death (only playful/sportive one!) - has enabled us to flourish this far. Opposing - reactionary/medievalist - forces might have strengthened the decisiveness and realizations of what is needed in order to persist, but in the end, only cooperation (even with those opposing forces at times - sometimes turning enemies into allies even in the process - the best way to "eliminate" an "enemy", i.m.h.o. ... make them your ally in a greater goal, that can only be achieved by cooperation!) has allowed us to evolve and outgrow past limitations (in thinking as well as in doing/acting).
We utterly *need each other* - for so many reasons...and we can thrive and be our most powerful and productive when we feel our most fundamental physical needs are met, but also the our emotional, social and human needs, that are rooted in our consciousness/psyche/"souls"/"spirits"!
And ignoring the latter while expecting us to "function" like Robots, can never lead to a more evolved state, but to stagnation and death/extinction only.
All this is why I loved to play EVE in the early days, btw. and this kind of "magic" it sadly has lost for most of its latter years...I can still project it onto/into the "World" it is right now, but it feels hollow and empty really - I wish I could do something to re-ignite this though, but the conditions needed for it seem utterly far away and too "uncertain" for any "investor" to risk their money on these days.
Visions and ideas are hard to keep because they're so illusive and need us to be quite vulnerable all/most of the time in order to perceive them with all of our being - for this to be capable of we need to open all our being and the vulnerability involved in that process attracts extremely destructive and corruptive forces, that seek to "suck the Life out of these easily accessible beings" - yet over-protection usually also leads to this kind of ending sooner or later, too.
Finding a balance in everything seems like the logical thing to seek, but actually doing this is hard work, I found - and needs awareness, that only highly sensitive Empaths are capable of - and yet, these are usually hard to find in any corporation because they're the first to be getting (mentally and physically) ill when the conditions change to be slightly more "unsafe" for them or their talent and the conditions it needs to thrive are not willing to be "nurtured" enough because it's "too expensive" these days...
Usually exceptionally ideas need exceptional processes to flourish - we've seen it countless of times when these ideas were destructive to our kind/Species throughout Human History.
It would be a really great change, if we could do something about creating the conditions needed to let the more creative and constructive ideas flourish far better again than is currently done anywhere, i.m.h.o.!
Back again to watch this masterpiece.
this is, by far, the best MMO on the market. those who argue, just haven't tried it. don't be afraid about the learning curve, it's well worth it. join the rest of us in new eden.
It really is, the problem is the player base and HOW they play it absolutely ruins this game. Such a shame...
Sorry but no, I'm not into excel spreadsheets. I'd like a bit of actual gameplay to go along with them.
lol I've been playing for 13 years and all I do is PVP. No spreadsheets here. There are limitless ways to Play EVE. Don't like spreadsheets? Don't use them.
@MichaelSanguine Retired Titan pilot here. Erm no, gameplay in Eve is super boring and literally a stat check.
@@Crusader2132
Some ppl simply won't get it. ;)
Must be a fear thing i guess. xD
And iam still waiting for
'EVE - The Movie' :|
Like the go'ol trailers, with shitload of epicness ... yo Dire Lauthris, do something. :*(
The last four sentences are the deepest, and most emotional I've ever heard either in a videogame, or in any kind of intro. In either literal, or metaphorical ways, but it sums up what should humanity, and the individual person should thrive for. And that's the most important.
WOW this actually tells the backstory of EVE the exact way I tell it to any friends that don't know anything about EVE. This is fantastic! Bring this back!
I listen to this at least three/four times per year. The voice is sexy, the music great and the tale fascinating.
Gods this trailer still hits hard!
"Ruthless corporations rose to power, seizing every world within their grasp, and when the stargates could take them no further, they turned on each other."
Some things change but others stay the same.
The first time I saw this intro in the game, it instantly reminded me of the prologue to the TV broadcast version of the movie Dune.
"Memories of our past transformed into myth and legend." If people speak of Earth its like they are talking about The Kingdom of Camelot.
@Chris Goyette
:
Or maybe the lost continent of Atlantis-- ancient fictional mythology, in any case. If only they knew...
In a thousand years, Earth will be long behind us.
dayum pretty sure same thing would happen if you wake thousands of years later.
Bring this back, this is the best version! Gives the original backstory and feeling of Eve Online. Not new flashy graphics and ADHD.
Still the best intro all these years later.
finally i found it :) This is my ONE AND ONLY intro to eve. It is probably the best intro´s into a sci-fi universe i´ve ever seen as it is so dark and so damn true to the nature of mankind! Badly they removed it. But eve already lost a bit of its former soul so this was not surprising. Anyway this trailer reminds me of the good old days in new eden and therefore i just bookmarked it! :)
i miss the old log in music at the time of this trailer to...
I'll never forget the moment I first saw thisintro movie when creating my first trial account back in 2006 :o
I really want this to come full circle and we find the other end of the New Eden wormhole, going back to Earth.....
20,000+ years later? I doubt anyone even lives on Earth anymore.
***** Why not, dinosaurs lived there for 100's of millions of years.
John Michael Stock Because we would have killed each other off by then.
John Michael Stock That or destroyed the Earth and had to leave it. We are a very destructive species.

Or, perhaps since the races of New Eden survived and thrived we could assume that those in our galaxy did as well. And since the races of New Eden were still colonists when the gate collapsed, we could presume that those in our galaxy would have started off far more advanced than those on the other side of the gate who had to start fresh. And if we follow that train of thought, one could argue that those in our galaxy would use that technology to try to find their brothers and sisters. However, knowing that no human would be able to make the trip themselves without a stable wormhole, they may have created a race of machines and sent them to the various galaxies for the purpose of searching for the lost civilizations of New Eden.
Supposing all of that, one could say that it's a possibility that while the races of New Eden were sill planet bound, or when they had just started exploring the stars again, one of these advanced robots reached this galaxy and began replicating for the purpose of exploring the galaxy to find us. Once they found us, they would have sent a signal back to Earth explaining our status. However, on finding out that the galaxy was in a state of perpetual war, those back on Earth might not have wanted to make contact for fear of hostile response. So perhaps they instructed the robots to quarantine themselves in some zone of the galaxy and sleep until the conflicts had died down to the point where contact could be made again.
Now supposing all of that... one could say that when the galaxy reached a certain state of prosperity, the sleepers might wake up and contact Earth. During that time one could assume that civilization had advanced to the point they could open a stable Wormhole or use some other technology like a massive Stargate to bridge the void between the galaxies. Opening such a gate would probably result in a massive cosmic anomoly that could be visible light years away. With the new gate open, the sleeping robots might be activated and begin re-observing our races to see where we are at, sampling our technology in order to report accurately back to earth.
... or you know... something like that
#emergingthreats #tinfoilhat
They need to introduce a storyline where a new wormhole is discovered back to the milkyway galaxy and earth
dayum didn't know this had a lore this deep.
Aaah, the memories of watching this intro. It felt so epic back then.
Original Trailer is just so good
I've watched this from time to time since 2004 and it still gives me chills. Best intro by far. But...who or what is this voice?!?
I quit EVE a year ago, but it was the best MMO I ever played, three years of pure fun and moments of awe. I remember when I first signed up for the trial and saw this intro, I actually think my jaw dropped. Fantastic, inspiring, beautiful storyline and universe.
Thanks CCP
The narrator did a fantastic job on this. Really delivered the dark sci-fi feel well, I am most impressed with this trailer.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Still the best EVE intro ever
I used to know this intro word by word. It's a shame it was removed from the client, it's equally a shame it's only uploaded in 360p.
Epic intro to a game.
So simple graphically, essentially a series of still images with some lighting and bloom effects, yet so powerful and alluring a storyline for the game itself. The intro cutscenes for EVE Online have come a long way since this one, but it is still the best in my opinion.
would love to see on HD version
Eve Online, I am not playing it anymore, but it is by far the most interesting MMO created. I only wish it had more RP elements, cause the background story, the races and all, is amazingly well crafted.
this intro is probably the only reason i kept playing when i could barely play an fps
This intro is why im still playing EVE in 2023 hoping for it to bloom like in the times of the great fountain war. Anyways, shivers going out my back. Training my character 24/7 from the Beta times till the introduction of skill injectors.
I love this old intro, specially now that we have a new trailer that hooks into this one and bassically somewhat redoes this one, though the new trailer does "forget" to mention many of the tidbits mentioned here, though the new trailer does show more of what the capsuleer is.
WOW! That was awesome and epic!!!! I look forward to seeing more of your video works! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
Thats what makes it so much "better" than a few other games. It has depth, you've got do your homework ask around and give it a few tries. If you sign up for the 14day trial. Use it to your benefit. Play every free time there is, and you'll grow to love it.
Still should be required viewing for all new capsuleers.
Still the best intro.
'Lest we forget.
Always loved this intro, very nice artwork. Anxious to see the new one!
ahhh this reminds me of the good old times when i was a rookie pilot. Cant wait to see what EVE holds for us in the future though ;)
This one outclasses the new one in every way but visuals.
Man I havn't seen this movie for two years now :) Makes me feel all nostalgic and fuzzy on the inside hehe.
I need to go back and play EVE again. I miss the hell out of it.
This intro is a lot better than the new one. Much more epic feeling. Not to mention that it explains the back story.
god i remember this video... brings back memories from 2007.
i love her voice
When this game was really grandiose and obscure...this is a great intro. Too this generation is all about bling.
awesome :)
Holy crap! They should make a movie. I love the backstory
Sometimes the story can be more effectively told without flashy in game graphics. This is an epic intro, a tribute in a way to old school games.
So, after the original EvE wormhole collapsed, presumably there were still warring corporations left in humanity's original star systems, right? I wonder if these are what eventually became the Triglavians.. or the Drifters for that matter?
This has got to be the best trailer EVE has ever had (or will ever have). Oh, how I wish we could return to the Milky Way to see what's left of our ancestors.
Eve needs to discover the band 'toxic grind machine'
So much of the music fits so many situations so well
Eve is a magnificent game in many ways. But to be honest, no trailer makes Eve feel and sound more mysterious and creepy, than this original trailer does. It gives me the creeps to some degree, telling us just how unpredictable and scary the universe can be.
I just wish there was a littlebit more to the game, zones where one could walk with character. Like... bar, cantinas, social places. I know it is a thing of the past, when it was attempted, but god almighty... with that, I think Eve Online would be perfect.
Scary. That was a history lesson more then an intro for a internet game
That's pretty sweet, i had no idea that was the story behind Eve.
War........war never changes.
Quoted from fallout series intro.
It just fited the video so good.
Have a nice day everyone.
I remember seeing this and was "i'm all inn". Now 20 years later... I'm still going! And i think i've paid more for this game by now than i did for my education.
Are you one of the 18 that have kept thier accounts running since 2003?
@@Groza_Dallocort More or less. I lost my first account but my 2004 account still go strong.
Yeah. I did like this. The more single-player/small-scale multi game Supreme Commander had a similarly-styled intro, and it also got me into that world pretty well. I was all ready to go in and fight for the freedom of symbiotes and the sovereignty of the Cybran Nation. In turn, I again came into EVE seeking to fight for Matari liberation and safeguard the Minmatar Republic. Minmatar and Cybran are rather similar in aesthetics and factional role.
That's probably one of the 3 most epic intros I've ever seen... It's sad that it's gone from the game but I think the new one does a better job at describing the game itself.
been playing 3 yars now and still love it
This has a strong Alpha Centauri feel to it.
@ 0:08 i can see my house from here!
And how cool is that there's a bridge connecting Africa and America and another one from mainland Portugal all the way to the Azores.
@Helge129 In the sense that a fight is predetermined based on what gear you have and what character skills are applicable. It's not as involved as I would want it to be. But then it may be more my thing when we get a real flesh and bone character to play as inside the EvE universe, which is definitely impressive.
@TheShadowNemesis If you can take the slow pace of the game, I think you'll find a gem. Fleet combat is a spectacle, & the very real risks involved in combat (compared to most other mmos that spawn you at a graveyard nearby) keep you engaged. If you die, you lose your ship, everything on it, and the time that went into acquiring it. Many of the top-tier ships are verrry hard to replace, and take weeks if not months of time to grind for cash to acquire, every fight makes your palms sweat.
Wish I knew what happened to the humans who didn't go into the worm hole.
You know before i got really into EVE, I played the 14 day trial and did not play for about 3 months. This was the trailer i remember watching, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Then i made my new characters and the apocrypha trailer played i always knew something was wrong, but i was not sure what. Then i watched this... and now i know.
@Puzzoozoo If I read your statement right, yeah, EVE ships can travel to earth in small amount of time, but the problem is the destination lock. that is required to warp. You cant warp without destination. Same thing as jumping with Caps. they need Cyno in the destination system taht works as like "beacon" or "Lighthouse" to cap's jump drives to lock in.
remember, that wormhole can take you to other places as well as other TIME! that means new eden may be actualy in the past, and if someone finds a way back to milky way through other meaning may as well discover and Sol system be uninhabited OR not existing enymore due to old age.. yeah i am thinking too much
Immortality! Take it!! IT IS YOURS!!!
Actually, one of the theories is that EVE had apperently reopenned before mankind found its way back into space. Supposedly all of the electromagentic storms emmiting from it are coming through the gate. And on one of the scientific articles it talks about a gigantic stargate hull surrounding EVE, suggesting it was turned into a stargate before it actually collapsed.
The best 4:48 minutes OF MY LIFE!!!
The most EPIC Intro ever...Please CCP, can't you remake something like this for Incarna =3
Srsly, I sat in front of my computer with goosebumps all over my body....Epicgasm all the way
A sci-fi television series about a station and the wormhole it was repositioned to watch over.
I can't promise it's there but if there's any place you can find it it's in EVE's in-game jukebox, somewhere.
THIS - would make awesome epic movie
I hope we will get a better knowledge of what the earth lost-tech was like, and what earth is like right now
still get goose bumps....
as it says in the info, they are bringing back the old intro that explains the base storyline.
OMG The old intro
the 'feature' being having another races which is the outer rim of the bulk of humanity, and they meet the Eve ppl, and thus we have new ships, and new conflicts ect.
That looks pretty cool.
Oh the memories...
I really would like to see the HD posted!
I miss this intro.
agreed... this intro is way better than the current dominion opener.....
If you feel like scifi and are immensely stubborn try this game out. But I must warn you. It will take about 2-3 months untill you get to the fun part. The first month is about tutorials, small missions and training skills that will hasten your future training. Also the game is highly complex. If you like dept and are smart, stubborn and inquisitive you will find your place here. Theres alot to learn.
Everyones giving out 21 day trial invites because of 1 month bonus.
This is so much better that the new intro....
I miss this introduction
Oh I remember this one, made my first account/characters to it. Least its immortalized on youtube now :3
@Puzzoozoo they say "when stargates couldn't take them further" that has to mean that they could travel between stars in the galaxy but no further, and going to another place in the galaxy is hardly going across the universe. its like saying "I'm going across town" and ending up in your front yard, with more than billion Galaxies in the observable universe
@FinALIEN93 If by "small amount of time" you mean at least 3 years, then yes. "Locking on" isn't actually a requirement for jump drives in the story of Eve. Players do have to lock on (perhaps for such short notice jumps?). However, despite all that I still think it is entirely improbable to find earth in any reasonable amount of time as it would be roughly 4 minutes per light year, at minimum, according to 'Old Man Star'; hence the 3 years it would take (assuming it was further than Andromeda)
Fuck this intro got me pumped way back in Red Moon Rising
jovians deserve a special intro just for themselves...
Wow I miss this! Blast from the past and my char is not exactly an old one either!
@TheShadowNemesis
you will love it.
@TheShadowNemesis worth every penny eves in a league of its own no other mmo like it!
i wish the new one which is obscenely better, incorporated the original introductions information about the races. It would also be really nice if CCP make introduction movies for new pilots to each race telling them more about the side they have chosen the start with.
@TheShadowNemesis YES! :) i play this game for 6 years and I haven't got tired of it :)
