Exactly, "Quality, not quantity."

In my opinion you're an oldbie when a large whole of the Graalian population has respect for you because you do good things for the game. Think about it, a person whose been playing for a really long time but has acted like a retard since day one, as opposed to someone whose been playing for not as long, but is more mature, productive, and whatever.

And your a newbie if you ARE that retard since day one.

that means you have to be famous to be an oldbie lol.
Well anyway those who know me generally respect me.
OK if you respect me say so right here,
and if you dont please say why.

You don't have to be famous, just respected. I think your an oldbie.

Oh dear, I have only been playing Graal a little over a year. I am still a newbie. Please, someone save me. Being a newbie is so horrible. Everyone seems to think that only 'oldbies' can do well in staff jobs. Please no, save me super oldbie. I seek your guidance!

Your cool, your an oldbie...

EDIT: Why does my post count keep going down? o_O

"Your not an oldbie until you read a sign that says "your an oldbie.""

It was something like that x.x I forget. Toran correct me...

I believe it was Fai who said that.... Either Fai or Loriel.



Here's how Graal FORUMS go:

You come on, act like a complete ***** for two months, get sense knocked into you by admins or moderators, everything clicks in, and you're a smarter person on the forums.... With exception from a few people... :P

It doesn't matter if you were the 3rd person to sign up to these forums, but chose not to post until today, and you came on, you'd be treated like a newbie, also for the fact that you've played Graal since day one..

NONONO i think you misunderstood what I said about the vampiric wars etc. The Graal Classic reset was last June/July, i.e. June/July 2001. The Vampiric wars etc where in mid and late 2001.
Yes before Venrtrue etc. Also the Yoshi wars were fun.
Me adn Raastad were journalists during the vampire wars,
and we took screenshots of this giant throne room battle in the old castle, but we kept getting killed in the thick of battle,
I wish i remember where he hosted his photo albums,
it was some site made specifically for hosting photo albums,
maybe it was zoom family photo albums or something.

[mastervampire]

I was in that battle, and I remember killing you.

-Brett

[hoss]

*is a little late* why does it matter if you are a newbie or an oldbie? I mean sure, its fun to be able to talk about the old times with people but other than that....its just a way to categorize people, which is stupid. I say you become an oldbie when it comes to the point when you stop asking people if you are an oldbie or not and just could care less of what your status is.

[jeff335]

First off, I don't think you are truly an oldbie until a Joe Public walks up to you and says something to the effect of "Are you the oldbie Jeff who had that house on Coasta de Agua?" or otherwise calls you an oldbie and you can honestly answer in the affirmative. Just so ya know, that exact sentence or something with an identical meaning was uttered to me a few days back. Of course, 1.5-2 years of experience makes you what might be considered an oldbie....Alkaren, I'd consider you a hardened midbie. A very hardened midbie. Keep up the good staff work and you'll be an oldbie before you hit 1.5 years.


Feivel: Have you been randomly ran up to and called an oldbie? If so, you are, no questions asked


Scarlett: I'd have to disagree. The most mature one-monther who has had a major idea is still a newbie. Time and recognition must work in there

[leimoubai2002]

Ive been playing as Gene starwind on classic since August 2000
in 2001 i changed to SSJ Gohan x2....(LOL PIR THINKS IM UNORIGINAL WITH NAMES, HE IS RIGHT) then i thought of a nmae and in December i thought of Majin Streetz...2 years in august.

[draygin]

I remember the great reset. I was pissed because I lost all my stuff that I couldnt get any more. Then I snuck through a bug in old graal that let me get rat form. =D

I also remember last summer I think it was. When there was a big war between the union and confederates. Didnt turn out like history. The union had one good fighter Yazat Lane. We slaughtered the entire union army repeatidly.

[Pir]

what if i saw a screen shot of ZO? does that make me an oldbie?

[DarkHero2002]

well for one, dont ask when u will be a oldbie...thats n00bish..lol

[AlexH]

Can I be an oldbie too?
I'll give you a cookie if you say yes.

[feivel]

Holy f*ckin ****.
Martigan you were a Confederate man!?
Cheers! I must say the Graal Civil War was about the best month of RPing on graal classic ever. And yours truly, i.e. me, was Confederate governor of the great island of avalon. The bloodiest battle of Graal Civil War took place on Avalon.
Then just as history repeated itself with the first and second battle of mannassas, so to did it happen in avalon, but the other way around. In the first battle of mannassas the confeds and feds kept on confusing who was who and there was alot of friendly fire, in the first battle of Avalon the forces were clear and the union was slaughtered after about 4 (yes count em, four hours!!) hours of mostly confederate dominated battling, although i must give the feds some credit, at times they almost turned the tide of the battle. At the second battle of Avalon the forces were unclear, alot of previously unaffiliated armies came and allied with Confederacy and the Union, there was mass confusion and all the armies were fighting eachother, and in the midst of the confusion none of my troops could understand my orders. My headquarters was the church in avalon, and afterward i seriously contemplated building a dock in avalon with a warship as a memorial to the Confederacy's brave defense of the good island of Avalon. If only there were more great wars on g2k1,
I must say, out of every place on 2k1, and classic, Avalon is by far my favorite area on any server.

[Googi]

You were an oldbie till you posted this thread.

[DarkHero2002]

I started a little before the great reset, I wasn't too bothered though, I didn't have much to begin with.

Hell, I didn't even play classic and I remember Undine.

[Pir]

i was around durring the great reset, but i had been on classic only once or twice before it.

OLD SCHOOL ELVEN LANDS ALL THE MOFOS

[feivel]

OH yeah I was also part a giant conspiracy to kidnap Undine,
but then it turned into Graal Royal Army and got all ***.
And Googi I should have put in the subject "Am I an oldbie yet, rated NFG, Not For Googis" j/k :P

[Prez56]

I started 2nd Yoshi war (im so proud) i was at my friends house and i got on half way through the first...then everyone decided to stop so i started calling all the yoshis *** and a whole bunch of yoshis came to kill me and so did a whole bunch of people to kil yoshis war all over again.

I think that is the ONLY war i have been through
i have been playing for almost 2 years ( 2 years in augest 3 i think) on my own account. My friend has been playing sense ZO. And i used to go over there and sit there and watch him play.( before i had internet) So i know alot about graal cuz i watched him play for about 2 years or something like that. And it has been fun has anyone noticed that when you get bored and yo go and try to look for a new rpg adventure game and there all kinda ***!

Yea I was there. I was one of the original people in it. It was even my idea to make it a guild. (wish I hadnt thought it up)

[feivel]

Apparently we have been through alot of things together without even know it.

I only know of 2 resets. Yes there are lots of other games. I play several online games. But most of them are 3d or dont have graal style of fighting. I also play the realm and Jedi Knights Dark Forces II. Other than that I'm not online. Fishing is a little more important to me than playing video games. What just because there are alot of games with better graphics etc.. That automatically means we shouldnt play graal? People make friends the game play is generally good. There is a wide selection of servers so if you get tired with one you can switch then go back later on and look for updates in the server you used to play. Nothing lame about doing something you enjoy. I mean look at Ragnrk excellent graphics nothing to do. In my book graal is better. Also what other online game lets you make levels that get put on the server.

[konidias]

Anyone that considers themselves an "oldbie" or asks if they are an "oldbie" are not an "oldbie".

Aren't oldbies just people that know they are old players and don't care?

I don't know what I am, I started playing a long time ago.. I left.. the vampire wars and stuff occured, I came back like 6-8 months later to classic and my account was still active, so I started playing again. Played classic a while, and then about 6-7 months after 2k1 came out, I decided to get an upgrade. (when the big reset happened that wiped out my 2+ years of work on classic)

[DragonX2]

I do not care if I am an oldbie or not, I just play the game because, it is a game and I enjoy it

[feivel]

Well :P
I just wanted to know what people think of me,
so im not humble,
bid deal,
i am most of the time.

[mikepg]

Ok, i stopped reading this somewhere on the first page....

But...I agree with a lot of whats said, even though i could care less about the "oldbie" police.....

Maybe we should turn the geek to gansta

Oldbie = Old School Playa From Back In Da Day

Newbie= New School G Still being schooled

lmao.

and, would could use abbr.s like "Ospfbidd" and "NSGSBS"

now, read those, and pronounce them backwards, you'll laugh your tail off.

well, maybe not an quite... 2 years last month...

BUT i was called a legend on Doomsday by serveral players and staff + the co-owner (whom i hired as FAQ originally) so i'm super oldbie to them... hey, come to think of it... i've played it longer than the owner, hell, any of the staff and players, and i hired their asst GP chief and taught him how to use RC... you'd think it'd be easier to find work huh? Can't forget guild admin =D

ah, still a *** I see

[Zolrieg]

I'm an old bee. Buzzzzzzzzzzz...

[RamiAharonov]

To me, the terms "newbie, newb, n00b, etc." and "oldbie" are the stupidest thing to hit online games, but that is just my opinion.
