This is a page explaining terms and names that used to be obvious, but because of changes in the game are not entirely accurate. These names and terms are well known, but their origins may be lost to history.

  • Bookmarks
Bookmarks used to be the term for Locations.
  • Nullsec, Zero Zero Space
All space with a security status of 0.0 to -1.0 used to be listed ingame as 0.0 security status, and was refered to in various derivates of 0.0.
  • Killmail, Lossmail
Kill and Loss reports used to be sent to your character by the Mail system. This was changed to a much more reasonable system in your character info, but the long used name stuck.
