-You had to use the world map to actually go to shops

-When it took a month of questing to get enough to buy one of the pimpin' hats

-reinheart database was your friend

-Sushi errors made you cry

-The events didnt suck xD

-All your old friends are rich as sin, and have been either hacked or quit

...when Fairy Wings were one of the most expensive things on the market.

Oh God, yes! I'm an oldbie! crying Who the heck came up with "oldbie"?? I prefer, Gaian historian of the first order thank you.

But you know you're an oldbie when you bemoan the fact you have to spend gold to get the starter items for newbies; when you squint at the prices and mumble about it not being that expensive before; when you can recall having to click at least 4 or more times to get anywhere on the maps; when you can remember that there used to be a list of ALL the items to be found in Gaia on Ian's desk (ha! I bet no one remembered THAT!).

*feels old*

You know you're an oldbie when you remember Kiki being worth only 5k... and yet it was still a hell of a lot less hassle to just send in the $2.50 to get the damn cat D:

You know you're a gaia oldbie when a sealed letter was 5k in the market but to earn 5k it took forever/felt like it took forever!

I remember when they were 3k. xP Hell, that's how much I bought the letter for my Scarf was.
Ooouu, 30k Halos. That was awesome.

I still call them Donation Items. I likely always will. P:

I've none that come to mind that I could rattle off personally on how I specifically know being an old Gaian. P:

I'm sure someone already said it but well...

You know you're an oldbie when you bought your Baby Seal Slippers for 3k, and it took you a month to get that much money.

(I'm so mad I didn't aim for the penguin slippers right after gonk gonk )

And this one too:

You know you're an oldbie when you had a textfile with all the servers names on it so as to avoid database errors. I think I still have it somewhere...
