if your a noob and wish to be a farmer, but dont have the funds to get grain,cabbage, scythe or flail. just come see me in the game (i usually am on Avrillon the elf) there arent many farmers and i like helping people get into a honest profession and showing them around the game. i have plenty of money and i know from experience its a little tough to do anything but smith to make your starting gold. So just stop by and ask away if you see me in the game.

P.S. i dont give out fortunes, i beleive in honest work for money.

Actualy i dont like the Word "Noob", it sounds more of a insult than the therm "New Player".
In every other game i have played, the ones being called "Noob" feel insulted.

Just a thought,
Loki

Actually, I have found that only someone who is truely new to computers is offended by it.

A lot of games people will play and say something like, "Hey, I'm a noob here, what do I do?" "Arg, I can't figure this out. I"m a newbie. What do I do?" "Help! I"m a newb!"

Everyone is a "noob" "newb" "newbie" to every game at one point. It is just something you have to accept. When someone refers to someone as a noob, it no longer has the conintations that it orginaly had in the early days of the internet. In the early days a noob was someone who didn't know anything about computers. Now everyone does, and a noob is just someone who is new to the game/program/etc...

@ Serpardum.

This is perhaps why labeling someone as n00b has gotten so bad name.
Because of all those 'Gimme stuff Im a noob'. I'd rather be newbie than noob, newbie in my opinion is the 'correct' form, and noob closer to insult.

I kind of think of noob as the more insulting form of newb sort of like another word i can think of. If you have ever read LoTR, it says they got a "faggot of wood." How did that become such a insulting term?

Anyway, what does that have to do with this?

Anway, I shall also help you Gro'bul by supplying fishing rods for newbies.
