If you mean, when it comes around to be 2026 or so and this forum is still up, I'm pretty sure you would be counted as a pretty old player. But not with the + and stuffz.
TECHNICALLY, you can, you could buy a reg key off of an old schooler, but I really doubt they will give it to you, and even if they do, they would just keep using it so you couldn't, so don't even bother trying
I get asked this question a lot. I can only imagine the astonishment when it's realized that you can't acquire old-schooler status.
Anyway I'll close this since the question was answered.
