Online term for an "idiot","loser","retard" or "bastard" Or just sombody who plain cannot speak proper english online but types always in exsessive cheatspeak or "1337" speak, with absolutly no use of capitalization, or punctuation.
ect in online games/forums.
Originally derived from the word "newbie" as to sombody who was new, and clueless about the game, a player who needed help. Which later got shortened to newb.
Often people mis-use the term, calling new players to the game noobs, when often they just need a little help finding their way around the game. Please take care not to abuse this term as it is quite rude when the person is new to the game.
If the person is simply typing badly because he or she cannot speak english well, then they are not a noob, unless they are purposfully using knowing another language to annoy other players.
Then as chatspeak farther developed, you started seeing "noob" and "nub" as well as other variants such as "n00bz0re", "nib", "nubz"

Random noob : u giv me gold* or i ks* u
EXPed player : Sorry no, i've worked hard to earn my gold and game items, you should do the same as the rest of the players. or "Noob" *walks away*
Other examples the "noob" would be speaking in the same bad grammer more/less, in some cases using 1337, aka "u g1v m3 g0ld 0r 1 ks j00" (you give me gold or i ks you)
Or using all caps, or random caps which most players find annoying, such as "U GIV M3 G0LD OR I KS U" or " u GiVE mE GoLD oR i KS YoU"
*Gold is a standard currency in most MMORPG*'s
*In general to "ks" sombody is to "kill steal" them, to prevent their character from getting any exp* to level up.
**MMORPG stands for : massive multiplayer online role playing game
**EXP points is the experience characters earn in order to reach the next level up
