You Might Be An Oldbie If...

[Marqsaynt]

Why should the poor newbies get to hog the spotlight? (Original "Noob" Version) --> http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36195.0


1. You might be an Oldbie if you remember when Brado didn't know the difference between a mug and an energy glyph.

2. You might be an Oldbie if you still threaten to fight people with silverweaves.

3. You might be an Oldbie if you have a hotkey for "soon(tm)."

And...

4. You are definitely an Oldbie if you find the "Wipe y/n" thread hilarious.  

[Siteri Kidachi]

If you remember when Oja was pretty much where Gugrontid is now.

[Prolix]

is a midbie someone in between an oldbie and a newbie?

anyway you might be an oldbie if you were cursed with no mana despite maxed mental skills, then again some might say that is a midbie.

[steuben]

you used to be able to fall and get up
you sat and looked at the glue sea

[bloodedIrishman]

You might be an oldbie if you miss the system message, "You have been killed by the world." [Is it still around?]
You might be an oldbie if this new fangled system of crafted weapons being actually powerful angers you.
You might be an oldbie if your stock of weapons includes "Common Dagger q242/50"
You might be an oldbie if you still have a first name only.
You might be an oldbie if you use the same mug from three years ago. [Me.]
You might be an oldbie if you give up posting relevant things on the forums, and just post nonsensical whims.
You might be an oldbie if Kada-el Tavern's seats have accomodated to your buttcheek outline.
You might be an oldbie if you stopped leaving Hydlaa years ago.

You might be an oldbie if...

... you need to look into your log file of your character's name before the renaming to remember your first day
... your buddy list is only max. 5% green even on a weekend-after-new-release or a global-holiday day
... you contact a member of an almost vanished guild with one of your alternative characters because you are afraid to switch and he might have gone offline already (props to the Knights of the Crystal, man!)
... you can remember how smoothly interpolated the heightfield map has been before "terrain2", even though the hills were several times as high and steep as today
... you ever sold "double-named" weapons (A's weapon of B) for more than 50K tria per piece to Harnquist
... you remember the character names of some GMs when they were still nooby players next to you, and "Cha0s" was the reason to stay past midnight
... you could become a sewers guide and know the secret shortcut between plaza and tavern -- if you just could still jump over the wheel axes like before (and maybe even remember the perpendicularly turning wheel axis)
... you saw the Laanx statue being as white as in the map loading screen (darned pollution!), and the shadows across the plaza did not flash each few minutes

And something even  too old for me:

... you ever took part in a Crystal Run

[Illysia]

...If you remember the time when the green corridors didn't have wilderness on both sides.

...If you remember When it was almost a straight path to the exit portal in the death realm.

...If you remember When the fall damage was so high you could die by stubbing your toe

...If you remember before the rogues set up shop in the warehouse district

...If you remember when most of Oja's shops were empty

...If you remember the rogue in the part of Jirosh's Warehouse that you have to jump to get to.  

...If you got lost every time the maps changed

...If you remember when people RPed in groups in front of Harnquist and not in the tavern

...If you spend more time reminiscing about the "good ol' days" of RP instead of actually getting out there and RPing

...If you read back years into your logs, which you did save mind you, just to relive those old RPs.

[neko kyouran]

.....        you remember when GMs were more fun when they were allowed to hang around at Harn's

[verden]

... you remember when the platinum mine was below the temple in Hydlaa.

[Semutara]

You might be an oldbie if.... you actually remember the time when XilliX was just a player... 
You might be an oldbie if.... you remember when platinum was taken out of game..

[LigH]

*SNIFF* Neko... you made my day!

Achie, Sangwa, Dylia, Arka ... any me still in Janners Way!

[Sarras Volcae]

... you could become a sewers guide and know the secret shortcut between plaza and tavern -- if you just could still jump over the wheel axes like before (and maybe even remember the perpendicularly turning wheel axis)

i can do that

[weltall]

... you could become a sewers guide and know the secret shortcut between plaza and tavern -- if you just could still jump over the wheel axes like before (and maybe even remember the perpendicularly turning wheel axis)

it's still possible, at least with the klyros model

[Jullun Sihena]

You might be an oldbie if.... you remember when there were crystals instead of Trias for money (I don't remember the names, though)
You might be an oldbie if.... you remember when the only places were the Plaza and the temple

[Elvicat]
