You Might Be An Oldbie If...

[Rihes]

You realize that the release of 0.5 makes it 4 versions that you've been through

You remember the saga of that one Klyros, I can't remember his name now, but he caused this massive fuss for something or other.  It basically sparked of a forum war, eventually I think he left.
Yeah, that's really vague, but that's all I got. He was quite famous for a while.

Sounds like Xeonart Darkom, the poisoner.

Nah, it was way before 2008, I think.  I was in a guild with him and someone else, few years ago. I think I remember he had great fun killing people pretty much randomly, and that also sparked some conflict.

The earliest record I can find of myself is back in 2006 - "dying inside" (Oh how I loath how emo that name is). So It was probably between 2006 and 2007. I remember it was back when I had pretty much just started planeshift and had no clue as to what I was doing.

If you hung out in the original ETG IRC room with the likes of Kada, Vengeance, Meket, Aelya, and such patiently waiting for the fabled first release, only for everyone to "play" it for 30 minutes and go back to whatever they were doing before the release. No one really played AB, liars. You're all noobs.

...if you remember the dwarf that would pop up when you dropped a slag or dust.
...you and your friends brought three or four ulbers to harnquist and laughed as they killed players.
...you dug platinum below the temple.
...you remember the bug that let you could train without money or skill points.
...you took rat hides from the sewer and sold them in Oja.
...you spent millions of tria on dual silverweaves.
...your forum account got deleted when Planeshift decided to change forums.

[Rihes]

I had dual silverweaves on my first account 

[Mordaan]

...you remember when Toda was a menki.   

[Under the moon]

... you remember when I was writing my first porody, or better yet, were in it.
... you enjoyed getting spit at/on by a certain grumpy dwarf.

[Lolitra, Celorrim Purrty Twins]

you wonder 'whatever happened to that talking face' in the rockside along the path to the magic shop...

[Phinehas]

You know more than 5 people who have been hit on by Agara in-game.

[peeg]

... you own a ring of the past
... you sold (or bought  ) some emeralds for thousands and thousands of trias
... you remember the time when everyone was running around in excitement when there was the slightest rumour that the devs added a single new quest
... you remember wearing flowers and/or sacks on your head

[thorgrin]

... you remember wearing flowers and/or sacks on your head

AH, that one. Still remember to have seen various dwarves like that. CB, if I remember well.
I'm a "midbie" been here since 3.0.20 and heard most of the stuff from MB. Levrus gold, Dungeon's platinum, before East Hydlaa Existed, etc.

[Dermathil]

You're an oldbie if you were a crystal runner in the past.
