I accidentally gave a guard in WFP 76kpp

[Octopath]

If I kill the guard, would I be able to loot the plat? Or am I essentially screwed?
I did petition.

[White_knight]

Petition it my frand - and wait.

Screwed.

There have been people that have traded large sums of plat to a banker on accident. After petitioning they were told it cannot be reimbursed.

It wont be there when you kill the guard

[Evia]

What trick are you referring to?

If you open a trade window with heavy weight items or coin it will remove the weight from your character while the window is up (since the items are in trade, not in inventory) and you can move unencumbered until the trade window drops.

Quick response by gm! Thanks. However, the answer was expected. I am out the pp.

For those who this has happened to before, how do you go on? I want to keep playing but I just literally threw away all my hard earned plat from porting.
There’s no way I can bring myself to keep porting for 20-50 pp a pop knowing what I just lost.

Is the only logical thing to do is quit?

Make a new character and try to not think about all the pixels you coulda bought.

Retire the porter and take up a new life (or game).

I invested around $20,000 into space coins IRL.

Lost it all in less than 6 months.

As someone who has lost far more you must have really liked the game to acquire xyz. Losing items/characters/plats isn't too much a problem if you have a deep passion for the game. A break is inevitable for soon enough you will hear the clarion call...

I am confused, is it difficult to look at logs? Why couldn’t a gm look at logs and see that I gave the plat to the guard? I have the time that it happened and everything?

[Jimjam]

Think of all the fun adventures you must have had amassing all that plat, you now get to relive them!

If you didn't have fun perhaps it is a good point to review how you are spending your time?

Agreed. I think if you are questioning it, then the answer is to just move on... Don't force it though haha, let the burn out happen naturally :)

[White_knight]

I have done this before, on EQMac, accidentally gave the banker in the Bazaar 10k plat.

It happens - sorry for your loss.

Maybe there is no log because one would assume the NPC would just destroy the currency on trade since it can't hold it- however there would be a trace of your toon handing that platinum over.

If you're buying that earing (which is a pure luxury item) you can't be toooooooo strapped for cash or not have a deckout 60.

Please dont tell me you didnt just port people for 6 months to buy that earing for a twink or your port bot.

Excuse my ignorance, but why would you choose that item if you saved all that money from porting?

It was a tunnel questing purchase, I port and wheel and deal in the tunnel. It was a great deal that I would ultimately sell for a profit.

I do have other gear and items so I’m not completely broke. Believe it or not it still stings a bit.

My plan was to twink a sk which I was in the middle of gearing. Because of this hiccup, I may have to change my ideas. I may go rogue instead. Which would do better in higher end cash camps? Thanks!

Why are there always forum detectives? Earring was 55k. I went ahead and took out all the plat I had in bank which was 76k. I am mad because I was going to only take out the 55k but decided to go ahead and take out everything. I would have at least still had the 21k

If that can make you feel better a lot of people have spent that amount of plat or more on MQs for toons they don't play anymore. Most people on p99 will never reach 80k anyway but it's fine you don't need that to enjoy the game.

Plus you still have your toons the most valuable thing by far.

How do you enjoy raiding compared to porting? You could save the dkp for that item from killing like a dozen decent targets or doing a small amount of tracking / PLing instead?

At the very least it's a change to the last 6 months.

[Primordial Ooze]

Man, that's awful dude. I'm sorry. :(

IMO, take a little time off. You'll probably find in the long run that your enjoyment of the game is what you remember once the immediacy of this passes. When nasty shit goes down IRL I just try to back away for as long as I can and decide what to do with a clearer head.

Hope that helps.

While I do agree with this, why are people being reimbursed for accidentally giving items to NPCs?

Octo man, I'd truly be sick to my stomach if I even lost a 20th of that much plat. Everyone can say "bah it's just pixels" but, like many things in this damn game, I'm sure you're experiencing some very *real* and unpleasant feelings/emotions.

Haha me too Stebb. That's a hefty amount of money to me, and especially since i don't raid and am very casual, that amount of money would take years again to get haha.

In a sense I am lucky; being a filthy Euro means most raid stuff happens at my night hours, so while generally I sleep through it most nights, if I am specifically in the mood for raising I can stay up late with fewer interruptions.

[wagorf]

Most people on p99 will never reach 80k .

Really? I would think someone would have made at least 30-50k when they have one toon hitting 60.

Losing all 76k that was earned through ports is very painful, i'm sorry op. it's going to be tough to grind the plat with the same porting process. i suggest you try a diff path for cash farming so you don't think about this all the time....

exactly, i think it will eventually burn you out if you start porting for money from scratch...

as far as leveling and then do farm camps, i say you pick between chanter or shaman. personally i think chanter is easier because it is less gear dependent, and you wont need to purchase a 80k spell (bedlam is probably your biggest spell purchase, vog if you care about raid/groups but if u solo it wont matter)

necro is very powerful indeed but you are less likely to find a group for leveling. monk is also good, but seems people prefer 58+ or even 60 to duo/trio camps like king, juggs/prot, golems, etc.

or you can consider camping jboots with ur druid, just some ideas, GL to you man i hope you recover from this! :)

Hes not kidding because most people wont do that. Two 51s and one is a porter. He made about 10k in ports in his lifetime, and naybe 1k in normal gameplay. My 51 bard maybe made 2k in normal gameplay. The game played normally does not generate much money., You can only do what you did tunnelquesting and dipping into the inflated economy lining your pocket with a bit of drops from it, which will far outshadow standard leveling and currency generation

Maybe make a bard, level it to 5, get selos, and park it in the tunnel and get an IRL friend or super trustworthy person/high level raider in game to help you transfer from time to time, you know, like how 90% of the rest of the server does it? :confused:

I get it, sometimes you are super solo mission out there and can't trust anybody, if you can't just be careful using that plat handoff method...or you know just be careful cause it's Everquest

Sucks ass that GM cannot do something on this....

Its in the FREAKING LOG that u gave them the pp...

But if you want my opinion why do people use bank ?????????????????

Make a bard lvl it to level 5

Put u pp on your Bard use it as your bank.

Move him from t1 t2 or tunnel entrance.

Never leave tunnel.

Play u main , loot stuff , ask for xfer on mule.

That way , that kind of stuff cannot happens.

P99 bank is USELESS

maybe if we had shared bank .....

[Iksar_with_a_plan]

damn I did the very same encumbered run, and was frightened of this happening so I just inched my way back to tunnel. That sucks...

Also, you can avoid this slip up easily by just allowing your space between the npc or player your doing your transaction with to become a large enough space that it cancels the trade on its own. Knowing this I still forego trading to NPCs... Its kind of irrational

Hey OP, surprised you didn't burn out on this? I've burned out on much less. I haven't even played here since 2012. Sometimes I get a distant itch. Like right now. But I tried to commit myself to moving on. I haven't quit MMO's, I just try to make sure I play something new. I'll admit most MMO's aren't like this era of Everquest. That's why I get the itch every now and then--faint as it's.

There’s no way I can bring myself to keep porting for 20-50 pp a pop knowing what I just lost.

Is the only logical thing to do is quit?
Don't quit for that reason for sure, look at the bright side, you don't have a video of shouting "plat not up!" losing all credibility. Farm something this time instead of porting maybe?

[kaluppo]

I was meeting someone in ec tunnel and had to pick up plat in bank. I was trying to speed up movement with the hand pp to npc trick and I clicked give instead of cancel.

I have never had more than 10K pp ever and the most expensive item I have bought is 5K. So that said I have never needed to find a trick to move large amounts of PP from one zone to another.

I see the logic behind this trick as far as the trade window puts the item or this case PP in limbo and thus you are not encumbered. I see how this could get you from point A to Point B within a zone faster and easier. But what happens when you zone with an open trade window? I am assuming you started in the bank at NFP then zoned to WFP and then would have needed to zone into EC. That's twice you needed to zone.

Does the trade window remain up from zone to zone? Or does zoning automatically cancel the trade and you arrive encumbered looking for the nearest NPC to rinse and repeat with?

[Zabbix]

It cancels the trade if the window is even up. Usually the window isn't even up as it gets cancelled if you move too far away.

As soon as you are out of distance from the pc or npc, the window auto closes. The bug is that you still don’t show encumbered for a little while. So when I zoned from nfp to wfp, I had to open trade again with the guard, I still don’t know why I clicked give instead of my normal routine.

I can honestly say I haven’t done it again! Lol

That is a great idea, or you could do what I do. When you need an item send a tell or pm to Octopath. He finds it, buys it on the cheap and sells it to you at market price. Profit and recover!

I, for one, pledge to give octopath 100pp. maybe enough of us in small donations can take the sting out of the loss, even if it doesn't recover the whole.

That's a very good idea. Kind of like a go fund me for P99 LOL. I will donate 1,000 PP to this recovery effort. Just hit me up in game. I just hit lvl 59 with my cleric so Norezferu will almost always be on and if not look for Kaluppo.

For every 100p you give him I am going to take 100 away.

[aaezil]

you had 76kpp to begin with

Do not feel sorry

THATTA BOY

So I had 76k that I gave away to a guard. That was all my liquid plat at the time. So i stripped my toons and sold the couple items I had left. I ended up with about 31kpp. Big thanks to Boutik for giving me some tips on buying/selling in the tunnel efficiently. I kind of put my own spin on it and starting my journey. It wasn't easy. I got angry many times. I even, dare i say it, thought about quitting!

So being a member of Dial a Port as well, I ported people while sitting the tunnel. Basically hustled in any way I could to gather plat. I probably earned back 25% of my plat just from porting. Thank you to everyone who hooked me up on ports!

So in less than 2 months I finally did some math. 76k + 31k is 107kpp. I needed to be there to be where i was in the first place. Today I am looking at closer to 125kpp!

I wanted to shoot a shout-out to these fine folks :

Emevvi 1111p (tip for port)
Lasstlin 1684p (tip for port, also gave me some tips on being the best DaP'r i could be)
Shaokin 500p (tip for port)
Hanible 500p (randomly just opened trade while in tunnel!)
Arleigh (amazing person has helped me out in many ways in this journey!)
Priison (great dude, used me anytime he needed a item to find the item and deliver it to him.)

There are others I know and Im sorry if i left you out. I could have done a better job keeping up.

Thanks again everyone for the words of encouragement. Now I just need to somehow get the hell out of the tunnel. It's kind of a addiction that's going to be hard to break.

Oh nos!! I jus have all my plat to a guard! I also need tips on tunnel quest, and I'll port you too!

I'm glad you didn't give up. The story is painful, hilarious and a bit wholesome all at the same time. 76k to a guard.. You doofus..

[Zill]

The weirdest thing is that guard still kept his job after receiving all that plat, wtf?!

There should be an easter egg where if you give a guard 76k plat, he instantly changes into a Hawaiian shirt, shorts and flip flops and starts walking away.

It would all be worth it if this happened
