It might have been. 1.35 came out like 2 weeks after I started though.

Silver Knight · #94 10-09-2001, 09:09 AM

They shouldn't have decimals in the version unless they were betas. So it would be easier. You could stroll down the street saying "I started in version 1."

ZanderX · #95 10-09-2001, 09:12 AM

I've told my Graal story many times. I started in the 1.3 era. :T

Asuka · #96 10-09-2001, 09:40 AM

How did Asuka the Great start playing graal you ask? Well i was playing TTO (Triple Triad Online) back when it was fun and a decent game with many well known graalians such as Fuitad, Link64, Chronos, Kain, BaRT, and SuperNick. Chronos, BaRT, and I were the best and so we got along alright. Thats when they brought up Graal and i was like "what is that" and BaRT showed me and got me through mah newbie stage in graal and grew me to 9 heartsies! Then i was like w000t and now this is where i am. 1.32 4 eva!!!!!!!!!

Why is it, I constantly read about people claiming they're so special because they started in the time of Zelda Online, or in version 1.28, or version 1.31 or whenever it was? Just because you started Graal earlier then others, automaticly means you're better then a newer player, or smarter then a newer one? "Oh, I know how to hide my fear of being 0wned by a newer player.. I'll just call them a "newbie" and assume that they're dumber then then the ground I walk on. Oh yeah, I am sooo cool."

It's just stupid to me. It doesn't matter when you started, the ammount of time you've been playing earns you no more respect in my book. You earn my repsect on how you act; not on when you claim to have begun to play. Sadly though, all of the new players get called "newbies" and get made fun of, etc when they begin to play. So what do they do? They claim they played GO, or ZO way back in the days of yore...and so the cycle of folly continues. Sorry for my rant there...I'll stop now.

freddyfox · #99 10-09-2001, 09:49 AM

Alkaren has a point.

Just look at me. I started in 1.34 and I'm more well known then some oldbies.

Hahaha. I smell a n00b going through withdrawal. It is ok dude, not everyone is as cool as us olbies.
Yes it does matter on when you started. The earlier you started, the more you know about the old graal and all the people and all the changes it went through. I started around 1.22 or 1.24 not sure. I remember how much fun I had. The first few days were crazy. People had like 30 hearts and all this stuff. I had 3 hearts. I remember always getting killed. One time I even typed 40 so it showed a 40 over my head so people would think I had 40 hearts. HAHA IT WORKED! Some guys asked me like "who is your master". And I was like "GOD" and stuff. Then I remember when I got my new computer and starting Pking and doing all this crazy stuff with the old BrotherHood, Knights of Templar, Silver Lion, Frost Bite, Gangstas and so. I remember always getting in arguements with NyChris and always screwing around and just talking. Remember when we had that "avalon" hacked npc that shot fireballz and didn't take any arrows. That was awesome. Oh How I miss graal. Don't even say crap like "blah blah blah when you started graal doesnt matter". Seems like the only people who say that are the newbies! Hmph! END!

I agree with Alkaren completely, actually. Why should what version you started Graal in matter in comparison to how intelligent you are and how you play the game? Just because you don't know all of the old stuff and weren't there to see it and only started in 1.37, or 1.39, or 1.4 or even simply the 2's, doesn't mean that you can't give that person respect. Would you consider me a newbie seeing as how I returned to Graal in 1.36 or 1.37, yet I am a very respected figure, even though I know very little about the history of Graal itself and what went on in the days of yore? Maybe. But I don't see how that would matter. I have experience playing the game, I'm good at it. Time doesn't matter, it's experience.

[Nick Sinister]
The reason why your opinion is different from mine is mainly because of the version you started. You just proved my point right. Now I must go now because Chris is coming on. BAI BAI

I in no way proved your point. You're simply biased against people who didn't start earlier. Ignoramus strikes again.

JAceves · #**106** 10-09-2001, 10:10 AM

Intelligence...oh yes...something graal has lacked since 1.28
i remember Princess, and Angel, and...Xena (aka Contego), and and Asuka, and and Darkman!! And there were tags like {WtF -} and of course {TCN} and {NBK}
Remember, it was hard to play Graal from a 200 mhz Packard Bell

So, I must be a newbie because I posted that rant? Odd. I wasn't under the impression that posting that would cause someone to call me a newbie. Go on believing I'm a newbie, or whatever you may think of me...I care not. After all, it's just text on a screen.

japinthuss · #**111** 10-09-2001, 10:21 AM

I'm sort of new. I started in 1.9 or something like that. I liked Graal 2001 how it used to be though! Then all these n00b's startd coming! You had to call police every second for a deal! Now we got stands and **** but I'd trade it all for when I started bringin in mad cash flow! I miss it!

hrm... what I miss about the good ol' days... that would be easy... GServer... I think thats what killed me... the lack of "instant gratification" of being able to see people play on what I make... I also miss knowing there are actually OTHER PEOPLE out there interested in scripting... really every 5/6 people I meet is a "levels person" and the other 1/6 are artists

grim_squeaker_x · #**115** 10-09-2001, 05:15 PM

I'm a stupid newbie

I started in 1.39

Although I do not care and stuff

Lyndzey · #**116** 10-09-2001, 06:48 PM

Gah! Who cares? I'm an oldbie, but I don't think one person on Classic has heard of me. I sometimes mention what it was like in the old days, an unless I am kidding, I don't brag. Let's stop this fighting and talk about the old days instead. I hated it when like one person would have {LEADER OF TGAAFAW}{LEADER OF AHFKLAJGDA}{DAFFA}and so on for about 20 guilds.

konidias · #**117** 10-09-2001, 08:08 PM

I don't know, nor do I care, if I'm an oldbie or not.. I started playing Graal a long time ago, and I don't remember which version because at that time I was a newbie and it wasn't important to know what version you started in..

It would kind of be nice to know the date my account was created though =)

James, why are you letting this ***** use your account?

JubeiSaotomeX · #**119** 10-09-2001, 08:21 PM

amen, Alkaren. In my opinion, there's 3 types of graalian's

1. The confident people who don't care about what others say or do and just act themselves (Like me)

2. The players who copy the previous type in an effort to look good, usually have big ego's and are the biggest posers

3. The so called "Newbie" type, people who you don't notice, eg. SSJ Gohan -lol- [hi my mum is my guild leader] (Men from Men)

a lot of main server players are type 2, while most of the oldbies are type 1. kinda sad, one person says one thing, then the rest copy them like sheep. Looks like too many players have been eating the fruit of the Poser Tree!
