It just hit me that I don't think platinum even existed in-game when I first started playing... Oldbie or non-Oldbie, that still just makes me feel old.

--You might be an Oldbie if you decide to walk everywhere instead of run everywhere.
--You might be an Oldbie if you have 100+ buddies on your buddies list
--You might be a MIDBIE if you were devastated at the shortcuts that were deleted when 0.5 came out.
--You might be a MIDBIE if you miss platinum.
--You might be a MIDBIE if you help out noobs and teach them how to RP, and train, because you have been through that cluelessness before.
--You might be an Oldbie if you carry a shovel around because it is not considered a weapon to the guards.
--You might be an Oldbie if you have multiple children from multiple marriages.
--You might be an Oldbie if you have been through more than 7 or 8 guilds that are dead now.

You might be an oldbie if ... you don't need maps for the sewers anymore, you can lead the way instead.

I never really became a part of the game but more the community through the years, these days I spend most of my energy on IRC and only lurk here as you can see :D

... the secret garden was only a green place void of flowers the first time you visited it
... you picked mushrooms in the forest :)
... Kada-El wasn't even constructed when you first entered the game :D
... if you experienced Karyuu and Cherppow still being active and lively visual inspirations within the community
... you knelt to the Queen of fools on "her" coronation, before he joined the dev team
... you knew Peacer, Seperot and Kixie on the forums and Torzigg, lammas and Sovcat on IRC, among a few.

You might be an oldbie if... you remember the secret garden before Xiosia's tree, the flowers, and jardet.  :P
"                                    " you remember the sewers when it only had relliom and the rouges for people
"                                    " you remember when there was only Brintec and Toda for merchants in Akkaio proper
"                                    " you remember a time before the plague was the excuse for only one dsar being open in Oja.
"                                    " you remember when mugs were the only equipable cup and you had to steal them from Brado to get them. ;)

@ Illysia:

... when mugs were containers, and you could put a lot into.

@ Baldur:

Remember the picture? - "Torzigg - sniffing catmint since..."

If you remember Talad playing too.... ehem.



Do I need to fish out my IG Talad stalker photo library? ;)

(Also, I have taken this thread into consideration and now consider myself an oldbie. (but don't let Draklar hear that))

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

That is the one, no questions about it  \\o//
