do u say " noob " or " newb "?

Featured Replies

i c lots of strong players call weaker ones either " noob " or "newb ", but wich is the correct one? i personally think it's " noob " cauz thats wat the stronger players used to call me... <.<

Noob is usually a higher level person acting like they have no idea what they're doing.

 

A newb is, well, a newbie, a new player, and nothing should be insulting about that.

 

 

 

I think neither is right, especially if you say it the wrong way.

Wha.. What..? Where am I?

"Noob" does not equal "newb" in any way, shape, or form.

 

 

 

But in any case, I'd call a low leveled person a "newb" only because it's technically the nicer form of the two.

 

 

 

And, a noob doesn't necessarily have to be a "higher level person."

I only use one of them, and that is "newb". So if you hear me say "noob", slap me and you get a cookie.

A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

None of the above. Any version of the word "Noob" has been so overused it has lost all meaning.

Non of both, atleast I try...

 

When someone is begging, following me, and spamming my window screen full with trades, I just say: "Stop acting like a noob, you won't get anything from me!"

I don't use either. To me they are just something people with no imagination use when they can't think of something new to say.

I'm using noob, but I think that newb is more correct, beacuse it means new player, and the most of the irritating people in Runescape is new players that often beg for money and stuff. But there are also some few high level players that can be very irritating too, so those you maybe should call noob :-k :?:

Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

*slap* yuo shoudl say the n-word not noob

 

 

 

i use most of the time newb to but sometimes i use noob if somebody is very anoying

Each word has a different definition.

 

This is what it says in my dictionary:

 

 

 

-NOOB: can vary lvl 3 to 126. It is implied to a stupid/hateful person.

 

 

 

-NEWB: can vary lvl 3 to 30. It is implied to new and unexperienced players.

 

 

 

Hope that helps!

I don't say either. I'm usually to busy laughing at you to say anything. :-)

A dragon is only a lizard with a Diploma

ive neva use newb and i only call ppl noobs if they r annoying me or being hateful or something

Hardly ever use the word newb, and I only call people noobs who really annoy me, usually annoying arrow stealers or people who think its funny t play with the gate at the heros guild blue dragon :evil:

run3furysigvo3.png

I use newb on occasion, but never noob because it's become a derogatory term, even though true 'noobs' do exist, it's used waaay too much these days - so much so that I try to avoid the word at all costs.

Apparently people dont like it when you call them names.. how strange.. :-k

 

 

 

I suppose newb or newbie is fine... but again thats just for new players who don't know what to do.
