N00bs

Recommended Posts

Posted
Hello, fellow adventurers. During your many travels through our beautiful land of The Internet, you may come across a very special and unique creature: the n00b.

The n00b is a remarkable creature as it disguises itself as a regular citizen of The Internet. This is the n00b's primary form of attack as it will allow the wily n00b to get quite close to you before inflicting damage. Luckily, their disguises are usually poor and can be identified as their armor may be several levels out of date. Also, the n00b disguise is based on a sad misunderstanding our common culture as their equipment may not reflect the job they are trying to portray.

Be careful not to confuse a n00b with a similar species known as the newb. Newbs can be distinguished from n00bs by their use of proper grammar and good manners.

A n00b can be identified by its distinct call. This call can be heard from quite a distance as most n00bs seem to only communicate through shouting and perma-CAPSLOCK. If you listen carefully, you may be (un)fortunate enough to spot a n00b.


Here are some examples of common n00b calls:

­» "PLZ can i hav sum zenyz!!!"
» "Sum1 buy my sword!!!"
» "GM itens plzzz!!!"
» "Ne girlz wanna cyber?!!"

Now, once you have identified a n00b, I must recommend that you stay as far away as possible. Unless you have a great deal of experience with n00bs, any interaction may be harmful to both your physical and mental well being.

If, however, you choose to interact with a n00b, this simple translation guide may help you. Here is a look at a simple conversation with a n00b including a n00b to english translation.


You: Hello there. How are you?

N00b: wow u r rich. Can I have goldz? (english: I notice that you have nice gear and wonder if you might be able to aid me in acquiring my own gear)

You: No, no, good sir. I worked for my gold. You may not have it.

N00b: but you gotz lotz!!! (english: I understand your feelings on the matter, but find it difficult to actually acquire my own goldz)

You: I know, but I cannot just give you money.

N00b: N00B!!! (english: apparently I am confused and think you may be a member of my species. Do you know Fred?)

You: I apologize for the misunderstanding. I am not a n00b.

N00b: STFU!!! (english: I am of a differing opinion and feel that it might be best if we agree to disagree)

As you can see from the above conversation, inter-species communication with a n00b can prove highly difficult.

In all interactions with a n00b, please take care to leave the n00b as you found it. Their social structure is quite fragile and any assistance you may provide may raise them to a new and dangerous level: the ferocious asshat.

Thank you for your time. Remember, everyone: Please help control the n00b population and always have your n00bs spayed or neutered.

I lol'ed at this :)

But it is so true... Well I started as a newb first. Well I'm usually used with low rate servers so I'm kinda used with doing a lot stuff on my own so I was really surprised to find how easy it is to move around the economy/community here in forsaken.

You just need to be well read (there's a newb guide here with tons of info of how you can enjoy your gaming life), equipped normally and leveled properly to advance and enjoy your stay here. No need to be, as Rinn states, a n00b. :)

Oh and Rinn you should add to your indicators of n00b-ness:

> "Websayt? Wat Dat? Gib mi itemz!"

Cheers!

Haha, no offense but most of those noobs are pinoys asking for stuff and sometimes just morons.

Hey now. I've met a lot of Philipino/Pinoy players on the multitude of servers I've played and GM'ed on, and not all of them are n00bcakes. Every country/nationality has them, unfortunately. I've seen the most from Brazil through my experience. It got so bad that the admin on a RO server network i used to play, that shall go unnamed, IP banned the whole country. In all honesty though, n00bs come in all colors.

Is that CakeRO? And.. if I'm not mistaken, is that Admin/GM Akii? LOL! I know him *points to MSN* I was an admin on his new (now dead) server ^^; Those are some pretty special people there in that screenie o__o

@Rinn wanna cyber?

Sure. *gives you the messenger screenname of an old dirty pedo and goes back to what I was doing* /ho

Yeah, it was. Those are just players in the screen, he's announcing to the entire server how BRs are being banned. I meant it because I was wondering if that was what you were talking about.

Oh lol no. I played on his other server, Cocoa, but to spill the beans, it was actually AvalonRO. The Admin, Maever did a full IP ban for a month. Go figure I just found out today that xAkii played here and was a GM. I just asked him about it when you posted that screenshot. Small world, yeah?

AND asking random people to leech them experience... the nerve... well not everyone is a moron but most are.

AND SCAMS! good lord! I was dealing with this idiot and showed me his items for sale and I said im good to buy (im paying DQs) so he dealt me after 5 minutes and when we deal he asked me to hurry like its armageddon. But I usually check my purchases and lo behold he switched the items for another with the same sprite. He canceled the deal and asked me to deal him again only to see the same fake items. That's when I cursed the fucker and he slipped out his "pinoy" term.

Well in fairness he did sell me the right stuff and said sorry. but yeah n00bs definitely.

Lol, a lot of people seem to confuse me with another "Rinn" here. To separate the difference, I'm 22, from USA and my real name is Erin, though I've been nick'ed "Rin" by my friends since 9th grade. Does that clear anything... ?

Avalon was my first server. I joined in like... 2003 when my friend wouldn't stop harassing me to download the game and try it. I tried it. I got addicted. Damn addictions. I guess in the least if I had to choose something to be addicted to, at least it was RO and not something ugly like cigarettes. At least RO is fun O:
