What does it mean when some guy says he dinged?

[theadmiral]

Some guy was just saying he finally dinged in my lobby, just curious what this means?

[Tallsoldier]

Just means he went up a level...

[qop]

dinged a car maybe?

[Bawse]

[zspeed]

do you even MMO?

[Yakito]

Every retarded MMO player says "dinged" upon leveling up. It's a stupid habit that should get people neutered. And that will happen when I dominate the world.

[SKaREO]

Dinged means to ass f*ck another man while jerking him off from behind. The more you know...

[Keikz]

What the dictionary says:

To get rejected, usually from a graduate school.
"Man, I got dinged yesterday. The decision letter came in a small and thin envelope."

Three different answers.. Not sure which one is right?

[Yakito]

Ding - level up. The end.

[qop]

"people neutered" LOL It's castrate son

[SKaREO]

Pretty sure he was levelling up while having gay sex and getting rejected from college all at once.

[theadmiral]

I just didn't get it because some people I know say it when it applies to getting money taken out of your paycheck or billed by a company for various reasons.

When someone dings, it means he/she levelled/ranked up.

 

It originates from the classic MMORPG Everquest, where you heard a "ding"-sound every time you gained a Level.

 

Used in ways like "Yay, i finally dinged!"

 

Some Grinders Finally Ding

Wow ok that clears it up i'm never using that term ever.

[Pinnkiepie]

The Ding-Sound for levelling up was also used in EverQuest 2.

You could google the answer to any of the questions on this forum, m8. Stop trolling for a reaction.

Dinged...wow that sounds incredibly stupid. I hope no one says this ever.

[Omnicr0n]

Back in, oh 2005 or so when City of Heroes was in it's glory days, people would say "Ding!" and most people would say "Grats!" It was a nice thing then, a leftover from EQ.

 

Then it got annoying and went the way of the evening newspaper and Polio.

 

Nowadays, people say "I leveled!" and others say ..*You were kicked from the session by other players*.

[Pinnkiepie]

It's good to see such an old tradition like "Ding!" "Gz!" from EQ appear so many years later in GTA Online

[Biohazard Abyss]

Reminds me of the people who still say pwned.

[Axe_Gaijin]

oh look, it's another theadmiral topic....
