The Real Oldbies

Gamba_Legend · #1 08-27-2005, 01:07 AM

I'd say a real oldbie isn't someone who has 1000+ hours and no life (out in the ral world anyway). Whoever thinks that has no reason in this world to live other than glue your eyeballs to an ultraviolet screen and point out typos and obvious sarcasm they don't understand.

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 consider pre 2.0 to be an oldbie?
...Now I feel really old.

This thread needs closing because not only is it in the wrong forum, it's doing nothing but instigating a flame war.

Also, it doesn't matter when you started playing Graal. In fact, sitting here trying to prove when you started is only making you the biggest newbie on Graal.

The thread should stay.
As long as people don't post death threats at each other or only post "this should be closed" then I see no reason why it couldn't remain open.

However, what do I know, I'm a v.2.05 n00b

I started shortly after Graal 2 was released. Not sure which version, though.

Jaquet · #8 08-27-2005, 01:41 AM

I dont remember which version i started i know it was when it was free though. Ive been playing for about 6 years now on and off so i guess im an oldbie just not a known person. At least no known to any of the newer players because all my friends quit and dont play anymore.

Same here, I wish I remembered the version I started.

Gamba_Legend · #10 08-27-2005, 01:48 AM

I really wish the rules I set were followed and enforced by mods this way everyone stays on topic and there is no flamers like Nabru

I only wanted oldbies to post
and yes you're a 2.05 noob so thanks for sharing?
Before 2.0 i never remembered all these 11-15 year olds posting their "witty" and "intelligent" remarks all over the place
i wanted to kinda make a community outta this
so you n00bs over here (you know who you are)...plz go over there (not in here)
thanks

Wait i'm a flamer but you have nerve to call someone a noob...?

AlexH · #12 08-27-2005, 01:54 AM

The fourms arn't the most active anymore and you're restricting them further to only wanting people who started before v2 to post. You wouldn't be talking to many people.

If they were your friends then you would still talk to them no need to make a whole thread for it.

Jaquet · #13 08-27-2005, 01:56 AM

Dont start flaming. Or spark will close it probably. Just be nice. Noobs have the right to post too ya know :P

Googi · #14 08-27-2005, 02:18 AM

This is silly. If you played Zelda Online for a month then quit and came back and started playing Graal now, does that make you an oldbie? By your definition it does.

Luigi1 · #15 08-27-2005, 02:31 AM

I started playing when 2.04 was out.

Old Shaded Legend owned.

AT LEAST I PLAYED BEFORE ABSOLUTE P2P. >

You claim to be an oldbie, but you act exactly like a newbie. Hmph.

Gamba_Legend · #18 08-27-2005, 02:39 AM

I must be slow cause I still don't see how that relates to anything
people like you argue how 2+2 really equals 5
please go somewhere else

haunter · #19 08-27-2005, 02:41 AM

I've been around since v1.41 -_-

Around this time in 1999 I think... Unless my math sucks.

Wait, yes it does, it was 2000. -_-

AlexH · #20 08-27-2005, 02:42 AM

Zelda Online was before this big v2 update therefore they played before the update.
Googi pointed out that they could have quit and come back yesterday. And by your definition they would be an oldbie. Quite simple really.

Gamba_Legend · #21 08-27-2005, 02:43 AM

haunter is a perfect example of what I wanted on this thread
thanks for the feedback haunter ^_^

AlexH · #22 08-27-2005, 02:44 AM

So you want to know when people started playing?

thats what i love about people who don't know what they are talking about
yes she said thats what i defined
then you said thats what i defined
then you said its quite simple

did you notice any MAJOR fallacies with the argument? (like i never mentioned that as a definition)
go home nub
you all know perfectly well what I ment when I "Playing for awhile over a PERIODIC time period"

quite simple if you're not retarded

Incorrect. You know what is a correct inference, though? You base all your insults on assumptions.

Gamba_Legend · #25 08-27-2005, 02:47 AM

meh
I give up
there are always "skeptics" that think they know everything

Jaquet · #26 08-27-2005, 02:48 AM

Jaquet · #28 08-27-2005, 02:50 AM

Um... that's an extremely hypocritical statement you just made there.

Gamba_Legend · #31 08-27-2005, 02:51 AM

even though you have 144 posts I really doubt it was 2 hours playing time =/

Jaquet · #32 08-27-2005, 02:58 AM

No ive had 2 hours of playing time in the last 2 days. I dont really go on the forums a lot i just on here today cuz graal is down im waiting for news on it.

excaliber7388 · #33 08-27-2005, 02:59 AM

I played the old graal, but I never define whether a person was an oldbie by how long they played alone. (Especially since I had a trial account most of the time) I play on different servers, and mostly on DR, but i think the point is, if they came out with a new server tomorrow, with a new system the oldbies would be confused there as much as a person who just started playing graal the day before. So I define oldbie on a few things, how long they have played, whether or not they brag about being an oldbie (bragging=bad), whether or not they are willing to help noobs. And general graal wisdom

I can think of a lot of people who fit the ticket, but I can also think of a lot of people who think they're great, but aren't. It's wise to believe you're not wise, because then you are wise

...oh, and btw, if you played zelda online, quit for 5 years, then come back, you are a noob. Graal has changed, ad so should your state of mind

Luigi1 · #34 08-27-2005, 03:00 AM

Now there's proof that Gamba lacks common sense too!

Jaquet · #35 08-27-2005, 03:04 AM

After graal went to p2p i played on a trial for 1-2 years then my friend Kae (Might know him from era) gave me an account to use but then was an ass and took it back so i went back to trial for a little while and then got this account and ive had it for like 2 years or so.

I used to play Old Valikorlia it was my favorite. Then i went to Shaded legend for a long time then started my LAT career and then went to era and then Zone before it went gold and then GK and now i play GK for good. I did LAT for 4 years. Started GFX but i hated it.

Thats most of my graal life story!

Darlene159 · #36 08-27-2005, 03:26 AM

I started on the 1.28 version I believe 1998 or so?
The java version rocked....

OasaTor_PK · #37 08-27-2005, 03:29 AM

I think I started playing with like v.1.37. Baby burger was my licensed name, roar.

SyLaTAC · #38 08-27-2005, 03:49 AM

Blitz_Hunter · #39 08-27-2005, 04:00 AM

Jaquet · #40 08-27-2005, 04:12 AM
