<Dial-A-Port> Raffle

[Dirtynads]

So this week we are having a recruiting push looking for more people with port toons even the up and comers leveling for this very reason. In an attempt to help our cause this weekend we will be having a raffle in the EC tunnel, Prizes include 2 hours of free power level for anyone level 27 and under from myself and 2 weeks free ports from anyone in the guild. Tickets will be 15p per ticket with a maximum of 100 tickets being sold. Hopefully we will be able to have the raffle tomorrow night by shady in the back of the tunnel but if it takes Sunday to fill up then later that night during prime time we will shoot for.

Raffle Rules:
1. There will be a maximum of 5 tickets per toon sold (to try to avoid 1 person from monopolizing the raffle)

2. The toon you wish to have PL MUST have the winning ticket...Example: Your level 25 toon must win the draw and not your level 50 toon then you providing the lower toon for PL. As you can see I am trying to gear this more towards the lowbie classes of the player base.

3. Ports and pick ups will be too any druid or wizard spires and will only include Evacs from myself and no other member unless they give you consent for it. All of your toons are eligible for the 2 weeks of free porting (To a max of 5 toons) just provide us with the names in advance as my members will be comped for your ports.

*Please note that the majority of our members also have mains as well as the guilded port toons and I cannot guarentee someone being online 24/7. I try to have a presence as much as possible to fill the voids but once in awhile I do need to sleep as well. :)
If anyone has any questions or even ideas please PM here or in game.

I tried Dial a Port route for a day. To me, it is just not worth it to sit there porting peeps while gaining no experience at all. I'd rather be leveling in a 50+ zone and have the chance to earn even more Plat while also gaining exp. I still do it when bored, but it's a bit less rewarding than I thought it would be.

Quicker cash than Highkeep guards (assuming the porter is in the 40s), spectres, etc.

It can be stressy when the server pop starts to pick up and all the off-peak porters log to mains, help your porters out by running to the nearest druid/wiz area :p

Ever thought about adding clerics and necros to the guild and then offering rez and corpse recoveries?

Ever thought about adding clerics and necros to the guild and then offering rez and corpse recoveries?

The big problem for clerics is that there's tons of cleric epics floating around the server and people are used to either not donating, or donating 20-30pp.

I had a guy die in Lower Guk ask me if I'd run there and rez him near frenzy. Sure thing, it wasn't easy... it took time to run there and probably was about 20 mins before I'd clicked the stick.

"Here you go Swish" (20pp) "Can I get a symbol (10pp) and buffs before you go?"

Cool, thanks. I'm glad he got rezzed and do some good samaritan rezzes sometimes but for the hassle its no moneymaker as a cleric in comparison for the time/effort.

Unless you're a saint like Coeur and do it 100% out of kindness its better to port :p

This thread really was for this type of discussion but i will quickly touch on it from my point of view.......So yeah porting for platz as i like to say at high levels (50+)obviously isn't profitable compared to all the high end loots that are available. That being said when things are rolling 1-2k an hour isn't bad if your a level 40 druid doing evacs along with your other ports.

Bringing up another debate into it sometimes its incredibly hard to get groups in high levels with a druid as well so sitting around for an hour or 2 waiting to find something I can easily rake in that extra cash. Now for me my Druid is 50+ but i leveled him this high just for <Dial-A-Port> so I could purchase an OT hammer to help the guild with ports. If that had not been the case I would had not gone past 39 and more recently 44 to get ready for Velious.

So back to more important things like "Who wants to win some stuff??" I will be back selling tickets again very shorty as I did A 6 AM to 2PM stretch doing so and my wife faction went from warmly to KOS in the matter of an hour so I had to get a few thigns done. Back out hopping from zone to zone shortly.

[Dirtynads]

So Tickets are about 60% or so sold which really is more then expected to sell for the time i was able to put into it today. We will hold the raffle tomorrow afternoon at shady whether all the tickets are sold or not. If a number that someone has picked doesnt land in the /ran then i will give it to the person who has the closest number. If its a tie and the people are present at the raffle they can do a /ran to see who the winner is..if both are not present then i will do 2 /ran one for each individual to determine the winner...Good luck to all who have entered!!

*Shamless "Pug" err plug: <Dial-A-Port> will be recruiting hard all week looking for people with druid or wizzie port toons. Send any member a tell for invite or feel free to msg myself here or in game.

Remember folks choose <Dial-A-Port> first for all your porting needs. Guild thread will also be updated soon as well giving a list of our new services we will be offering and whom to contact for each specified service.
