Well, after much deliberation and discussion with veterans, oldbies, midbies, and newbies alike, I have fomulated a chart which is based on todays date of "starting" Graal.
VERSION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
a. I believe that if a player started and has continually played Graal since Zelda Online, then, he or she is considered a veteran. On that same token, if a player has started on ZO, but quit during ZO and joined at a much later date, then, he/she is not considered a veteran. You must be active on the game at least once per 5 months in order to maintain and keep your "age" unless you've obtained special stature on the game such as Galen, Azrael, PACHUKA, Ultimate Weapon, Mandi, Fuitad, etc. have.
b. Oldbies are people who have started on version 1.2 or somewhere before that, but not including version 1.1.
c. Midbies are those who have joined during the 1.28-1.33 era. v1.33 revision2 players are excluded from this categorization.
d. Newbies are after the v1.33 rev2.
Now that we have that out of the way, theres a second classification that most people seem to use. It's known as the "year" system.
TIME CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
a. If you started Graal when it was first introduced as Zelda Online, and when it was introduced as "Graal Online" and 5 months afterwards, then you are by default a veteran. So basically, more than 3 years.
b. If you've been playing Graal for more than 2 years, you are considered an oldbie, however, with a certain limitation. You had to have been playing consistantly, and without leaving Graal for more than 3 months. If you have done that, then you cannot be considered an oldbie.
c. Midbies are more than a year, but less than 2 years with a 6 month limitation.
d. Newbies are less than a year with a 9 month limitation.

Anyway, don't complain about this chart I made, because, I've discussed it with many players from all 8 of the classifications, and they agree with me, so, go complain to them.
For the record, I started 4 March 2000.
Remember kids: A sign you are an oldbie is when you stop caring about it.
