Things better old or new?

Well i have been thinking alot lately. And i have come up with the conclusion that i would take back everything i have gotten in graal and earned, for one weeks worth of the feeling i got when i was a noob. It was sooooo fun, the best time i have ever had playing a video game. On old bravo, me and my friend from school, Sion, would just play and play and play. I didnt know anything and it was so fun to learn new things and spar new people. Guilds were big back then, i remember being in Chaos Crew, this noobie guild, and the leader showed me where wars where and stuff, then i went and got a NPC that makes you invisible and i would spy on other guilds when they would have meetings and such. Then came along BTK and everyone, and i got in there, owned the server with them boys after that. Now that i look back on it, people say Graal is getting boring, i dont think its the boring part thats getting you, i think its the fact that your all experiance and have nothing else new to learn. Well thats my opinion at least. Thanks for listening.

If everyone who played could go back to when they were a newbie and play again (but now with graal2001) stefan would be a rich man.

yes, it was fun, but what u must remember is, when u were a newbie, there were oldbies to show u around, help u out, teach you to spar, adopt u into there guild... that is somthing which is becoming less and less of an occurance. i think as much as i hate to admit it, we take our newbies forgranted, if we trained them up, like we used to, perhaps they would know better than to run and heal.. ? i think im gonna stop pking ( 5000 kills!) and start helping newbies..... im turning into a goodie goodie!!!! lol

Here's my day as a newb:

I was walking in Classic (not then called Classic :-p) on a ledge. I went into this house where you said yes to get a NPC to change your sword to a lightsaber, but since NPC control wasn't too good, if you left it'd change it back to what it was.

That's all the memory I have of being a newbie.

Oh wait! I remember in Tyhm's Pub and remember being asked to be a Co-Leader of some newb guild. It was DoS... They're probably long gone now.

Then I took a break and forgot ALL about Graal until I had to do a report on something that rhymed with Graal.

Then I got home and voila, there were a lot of servers, and I was... stricken odd I suppose you could say. I hadn't played in the longest time so I figured I'd re-learn how to play. I went on this Server called Elven Lands where I met someone named Brekkian. I was asked to take him to Ghost Town (this was a week later so I knew my way around) and Shaggy was making houses for Ghost Town. He offered to make me a house and got it up. Granted, the house sucked. There were no good LATs given the tiles back then. Shaggy got me a house put up, and that's how I re-learned how to play Graal and to make levels again.

If you read any of that, you need a hobby.

You had to read some of it. If you didn't, then you wouldn't know I had said "If you read any of that, you need a hobby" would you?

Uhm, hehe... what do you think makes stuff boring? You have nothing new to do and you are no longer satisfied with current stuff because you are overplayed on it.

I have like all these accounts I make once a week. Then I go on them, do quests to see what is working and is not, and test the GPs ;]

My story:

I get on "Real World". I see a girl named Melissa and decide to go try and kill her. She has 20 hearts, an axe, and a black horse. I die in 3 hits. I then make my way and see a guy ducking under a bush and he taught me some things, and we kept doing this race thing. Then I quested for these gloves and made a sucky house and it got up the next day. I remember I could not save in RW which was horrible. The oldbies that knew the save in onlinestartlocal.graal bug would come in and give us items. I remember 5 of us newbies chasing Queeny Scoobie Doo (SP?) when she was in IZP on a motorcycle. We would always lose our newbie friends and they would rape our corpses :[. I joined DT on my first day of Graal (I have always been too embarrased to tell that :P)
