Anyway I would a Graal oldbie is someone who has been periodically playing for quite some time. I personally started playing the 1.28 beta version of graal right after I played that joke-of-a-java version. Anything before the big v2.0 update should be considered an oldbie.

Recognition for you guys...post if you played before v2.0
(and if not don't post here about your opinions..thats flaming and you nubs have no say,k.)

You need to die.

The earliest version I can remember playing is 1.36.

I've been around for a while. I remember Mafukie too.

Coast D'Iaga, or whatever? I remember that place. I met some people there early 2000, and got them to upgrade when Newmain came out. Sorry, "Graal 2001."

I think oldbie is as much defined by someones attitude and valor, as the time for which they have played.

Actually, I did start about this time, but it was october '99. What was out then? Still 1.28? And, I agree about the attitude comment.

Hoss is an oldbie. Dat guy's been around since....... I think 1.2.

Anyone seen Obby? 7050 hours or something. i don't know, is she oldbie?
I was here since 1.6 or somewhere around that.
Don't know if I'm an oldschool oldb.

Obby has been around since at least ~2001, that I can remember.

Hours doesn't really define how long you've been around.
I have maybe 150 hours on classic, but I still remember when Antago suggested profiles.

I started when Andor was around. Is that considered "0ldb13.lolzola?"

I sure hope not.

I'd consider anybody who remembers the old days, before the great attitude change, to be an oldbie.
Additional points if you are nostalgic for those days

I'm not gonna go by versions, since I don't remember the exact version that I started on. But anyhow, I played 'til Graal wnet P2P, stopped for maybe 1/2 a year to a year, and resubscribed. And to give you an idea of how long I've played, I started at 12. I'm 18 now. o_o

I've been a GP on "Classic" since I was 12 and I'm 18 now. Of course not continually due to people getting me fired for "less than truthful" reasons, but eh.

Draenin · #**102** 09-02-2005, 01:56 AM

Oh, awesome. Same amount of time. =]

Unpredlctable · #**103** 09-02-2005, 02:23 AM

I could never remember when I started.
Classic was always my home server, always will be. hahar.
I can remember I started after P2Ps were introduced. Maybe on a short time after, but I can't really remember. I must've been eleven years old when I first started.

So long ago it seems.

Anyway, as others have said, the people who take advantage of the fact that they've been around for such a long time, who brag about it, and try to belittle those who started after them just because of that fact alone, you can't call those people "oldbies" really. It's the folks who know it doesn't really matter, and that it's all about the way you act about it all.

I consider myself a middleagebie.

Started in 2002 1/2.

My interest in Graal was piqued playing something like a Java version of Zelda Online (I am actually not sure what it was called. Help?) at a friend's website, but it was not until several years and a new computer later that I signed up for an account and started playing Graal proper.
