you know you're a gaia oldbie when... (update Feb 2012)

[XFateX]

I liked one or two of the items. >w<

But I'm one of those collectors, so I wanted them.

You know you're an oldbie when you still accidentally type in Go-Gaia.com.
xD Been said, but I still do this.... ><

You know you're an oldbie when you still get ridiculously excited when you see announcements, because back in the day they only came once a month and they were EPIC.

You know you're an oldbie when you have 5k and you think that's a lot, because back in the day all the items on Gaia could be bought for that. Except fairy wings. And then when the pimp set came along.

You know you're an oldbie when you look up that old picture they gave us back in... what was it, August? I forget... 03 and compare the armor silhouettes and the loot items to the ones in zOMG to see if they match. OMG REMEMBER HOW EXCITING THAT PICTURE WAS? I seriously was excited for Gaia Battle from that day forward.

You know you're an oldbie when you look at all the damn pet items they have and yell, BACK IN MY DAY, WE HAD TO GO TO MINISHOPS FOR THAT s**t.

You know you're an oldbie when you have a shitton of avi edits and almost all of them have real gaian item counterparts now. xD
EXCEPT BACKWINGS. THEY WILL NEVER MAKE BACKWINGS. D>

You know your an oldbie when you know everyones name off by heart :B

You know you're an oldbie if you remember the whorehouse--- I mean personals building, sorry.

When you know some of the old server names--- through unfortunate Gaia glitching events. D:

When there was a point in your Gaia life that there was only Barton, no jewelry store, no guild office, no cash shop (good times <3)

When you got single-pose items when they were brand new.

When everyone was begging for the things the newbs get now while under-appreciating them. (This is probably true up to the point they started releasing items and features so constantly, that it's hard to keep up. So I wouldn't really consider it an oldbie thing, I guess)


Edit: I had to add "When you remember when Chatterbox asn't just a can of spam, and everyone recognized eachother. And not just for the way they spammed, they actually KNEW eachother. When there were only like 3 people who do things that half the annoying population does, but the people were semi-famous for it."

>w< Those personals buildings were amazing. I love the love shack. xD

At least all 'em cybering noobs would still have a place to go.
