just wondering what others think... i feel that after getting 3 epic chars and having a few crafts adepted, im no longer a newb... im not saying im '1337' or anything, just an average/okay player...

opinions! NOW! (please)

Chilli, dont let people say you are a newbie because you arent this level or dont craft this or that, I havent considered you a newbie for a long time, mainly because You are on alot, and always willing to help. If someone wants to call you a newbie, screw em, you are you, and Some of us like ya :D

oh, people dont call me a newbie, i was just wondering so i could stop calling myself one, and thanks, radnaz

Chilliwack: I do not know you personally, but I would not call you a newbie. Radnaz said that you are always willing to help others, that alone shows that you are not a newbie.

It is not about levels, or knowing every trick in the book. If you know enough to help others and are willing to do so, you are not a newbie. At least, you are not a newbie by my difinition.

wheeee thanks people

chilli, you will always be a noober!!.... just joking, your not a noob, not at all imo, if you talk about just pure levels you have passed me up, and i dont consider myself a noob, if you talk about crafts, its the same, and in just all around non-nooberness (i know it isnt a real word) you have passed me up too, but... then again.... most would consider me a noob

y'all noobs.. *ducks*

pft, shana, theres no way youre a newb, assembling the data on the pets you have, and all the pets youve hatched + released just for the info... thats pretty non-newbish, imho

and kia, *throws adamantite statue of rawr*

I don't know.

Crafts and epic levels have nothing to do with newbish or non-newbish things. Compiling data, doing crap... Those are not newb or un-newb things.


Newbishness is a state of being. You are a newb. You have embraced the way of the newbie and are trying to transcend to a higher plane.

Elaine, for example, arguably one of the top 5 newbs in DL. And certainly one of the most annoying. But has over 500 epic levels and owns people dueling. Is that redemption?!? NO! Newbism transcends level limitations.

I believe being a noob is measured in how many stupid questions you still have to ask to play the game properly. Obviously if you've done all you said you have, then you have figured out what you need to survive and then some. Being able to help others shows that you are now the one giving the help, not recieving it.

In short, it means the other non-noobs no longer need to babysit you.

As for me? I'm not a noob, i just ask for help cause i'm lazy.

im confused, thremp, are you calling me a newb or not

and thanks, gilgolad
