First question: Is it by age, building skill, pancake abiilities, what?

If by age: How old are not a newbie anymore, how old are you to be a midbie, and how old to be an oldbie?

If by skill: How good for a newbie, midbie, and oldbie

If by pancakes: How good and pretty do they have to be for a newbie, midbie, and oldbie?

If you don't judge by age, skill or pancakes, explain what you DO judge by.


Second Question: Would you like fries with that? :D

Call me old fashion - basic definition is a player's first 30 days.
Beyond that we all still possess newbie consciousness,
it' up to us to use it wisely.

Oh, and you know it when you see it,
and you feel it when you be it!

:cool: :p

Huh... I consider what they are based on age, but I consider one month a newbie, 2-6 a midbie, and 6-? an oldbie. I like to think of myself as an oldbie :rolleyes: allthough many would disagree with me.

If you have yet to put a box on your head in an attempt to wear the clothing inside it, then you are most certainly still a newbie!

30 Days rings true to me, but what's in a name. Some of my friends have been around since the beta and they call ME a noob.

I'm certainly a newbie by age, though I don't feel like one. I'm definitely NOT a midbie or oldbie, though. So.. hey, sup.

I usually think you are a newbie if you are still asking questions about some of the basic things... like how to find something, how vendors work, how to edit something or attach something correctly. And I think you aren't a newbie when you start answering those questions for others.

And you're an oldbie if Prokofy says you are FIC. :D
