I didn't know this was an RP server and that you could BE a faction, I was amazed when I found out. I also played a GMG Kamome called I_nOscOpeD_JFK and got sanctioned for that and renamed to something with bob. Then I joined RHA.
hey, o boy, lemme tell ya, a story about a lolwut, who of course didn't knew proper english and did all the dumb crap and thought it was completely legit
and also at the very first opportunity i started making videos about disco since that's what i felt like doing
i also joined somewhere at the time when disco had way more systems than it does now, for example omicrons 90, 99, 72 and kappa weren't merged, Omicron-100 was a huge asteroid field with a few bases and planets in it, Omicron Mu and Phi were completely different, lived to see the old delta, iota, minor, chester, gallia, delta getting changed in design in favor of removed omicron zeta, then getting it's old look back, the times when nom ships got changed and when rabisu wasn't a pile of trash it is now, guard systems and all other cool stuff
also server pop was as twice if not thrice as big as it is now, you could literally find rp or combat at every corner. i may say something blasphemous, but conn wasn't the most populated system at the time as it appeared to be anyway
oh and what we also had back then are actual decent events, not only player events but by admins aswell

My first day in Disco was in singleplayer because I didn't have internet yet and Pepe brought the installation from his office computer. First time I did the Campaign was not with Vanilla, but with 4.84 (you could actually do that). It was very hard because NPC guns weren't the weak Vanilla ones, but actual, proper guns meant to hurt players. I remember a Nomad GB primary turret would instakill my Barracuda, so I had to buy an armour upgrade. I didn't buy an Anubis because I thought slow fighters were bad fighters, and the Anubis was pretty slow.
My first day in multiplayer was 4.85. I launched from Erie in my brand new CTE 750 AE Starflier and immediately fired at the nearest player. It was some Rhino with class 8 guns (my guns were class 1-3) and I exploded... so I tried it again and had the same result. Then I decided I needed a better ship and planned to buy a Bullhead with Kusari cruiser missiles. Battleships were too expensive and you were required to have a battleship license to fly them (i.e. BS scanner), which is why I opted for a battlecruiser. Kusari missiles had the longest range of all weapons, 6K I think, so I thought I could be invulnerable, having in mind they had infinite ammo. That did not go well in my first battle, as I was cruised (EKed) upon by an Osiris and instakilled by heavy mortars. Eventually I sold that ship in order to gather enough cash for a Dunkirk, which I still own.
I almost nothing remember from this time except for... I think there was a supermini bomber which looked like Delorian. That's all that remains in my memory.
Also, I remember a period, that I was not able to speak English, but someone helped to write a PoB story for me to get it registered or something. Hmm... curious, If I will be able to find a date, I can discover some date when I was here before.
Omg, I was able to find myself by my old skype in 2012 year. Uh, I actually participated in something. Half of it I don't recognize, but what I was able to recognize helped me to identify myself.
Wow, looking at posts helped me to "restore" my memories. Too bad, I had not a lot of posts.
The most memorable thing from there, I built an unregistered base in gallic space, and I was quick enough to build a shield module for it with full fuel stock . Should I mention, it was a long siege?
Broke up from a long term relationship, searched for an old FL server I used to play in 2004 "Bobways" and couldn't find it instead stumbled on Discovery.
Installed it, played it, raged at it, met @Widow got her to play, made a small fortune in the Helium field then found the Scrap Metal in Texas and made a killing there with Widow.
Had a stupidly long tag -=NZMG=- thinking I was cool, got told off by admin and argued if mine was so long, what about the idiots who had .:j:. and was promptly put in my place.....
Then was asked to take over DSE) and here we are; 3 permabans and dozens of sanctions later I am still here.
I joined the server and tried mucking around a bit, asked a random guy on the playerlist some questions and he loaned me enough cash to get me a zoner whale. It was at that point I realised I absolutely hate trading, but it's okay since the 4.83 -> 4.84 update meant all assets were wiped (if I remember correctly?). I started playing in the RM war ever since and became a Jarek's Bodyguard.
He still tried to get his loan off me after the server assets wiped, funnily enough.
12 years later I still never owned more than 1bil/never flew caps because I just don't trade.
