@SWSeoul There is no rule for using this term. It would depend on the person using it and what they consider "a long time" when it comes to friendship.

An old friend is a friend you have had for a long time. There's no specific amount of years :)

@SWSeoul Sure. It depends too on how close you've become, not just on the number of years you've known someone. "Old friend" has a certain intimacy to it beyond "old" referring to a simple length of time.

Yes it would be subjective or up to you. Like what @hsishi said, it can mean intimacy level too.
