Help a newbie a Day!

[Rhambuk]

Greetings! I'm posting this thread as a call to this servers veterans.

I propose for that the entire month of July we all try and Help a newbie a day to get a proper kick off to start the kunark summer!

Help by,
-Providing buffs
-Providing safe travel
-Buying spells
-Offering a few gear slot upgrades

Anything you can think of to help a newbie out! Remember all the times a higher level has helped you out, lets turn it around!

[username17]

You forgot the salutations.

Thanks,
-A level 1 newbie


But in all seriousness, I think it's a good idea. But being a rogue I'm not the best class for helping newbies out.

Now that I've absolved myself of all responsibility, gonna go make a level 1 and ask for buffs. bai

[Skope]

I tried this for a while last summer and it went well for a period of 2 weeks or so. also, rhambuk, thanks for stealing my idea and now b/c of thread forcing me to join you.

I will be participating! if you need a port, bind, some help finishing a quest, need questions answered or whatever have you, don't hesitate to ask :) I encourage other greedy, selfish p99 animals to join us.

This is pretty lame request but I actually need a fire beetle eye for a spell but am in a place where fire beetles don't exist (faydark). If anyone is headed that way to help noobs please pack a fire beetle eye for me. If not, what's the quickest way to travel to the land of fire beetles?

[Motec]

Travel to butcher, kill fire beetle?

Buff a newbie day meh. Half the time I give a bunch of >10's fortitude I get complaints its not heroism despite twice the duration :p

Oh my bad, for some reason I thought this post was about helping noobs.

You guys better be careful. If zuranthium finds out you're using cheat codes to help low level characters hes going to come in here telling everyone how they're always wrong and dropping guru quotables.

[Hijynx]

^^ lol

[JenJen]

hehe doors did another funny :)

Help a newbie day... for an entire month?

Sounds like hang out in front of town fronts as buff classes month. Sounds good, Luclin/PoP aren't here to ruin this great past time.

[Ektar]

Every so often I log in and offer free rezes, ports, and money. Now I won't for the day of july

[Deadmantis]

I think it's a good idea. I see alot of new players on the forums asking for tech help, gameplay advice, guilds to join, and friends to group with. Some are returning EQ players, some are new to EQ altogether.

If helping some of these people out keeps them around, it's good for the server population.

It's a No-brainer :D

[Swish]

Have there been any newbie GM events lately? Not that it has to be the GMs that run one, but just wondered...last thing i remember was that orc event in Gfay, was a good one (if laggy) :D

[Haul]

Help a newbie day... for an entire month?

[Fourthmeal]

Halp a newbie by directing them to Taco Bell. Their bellies will be full, and thus will be able to play more project 99

[FAHall]

I'm a newbie Erudite Necro and last night a very kind Wood Elf Druid named Hauling not only ported me to NK, but also escorted me all the way to Qeynos and bound me there.

Now I can play with two of my friends who started in Qeynos, and I'm out of the stupid stupid green fog of Toxxulia.

I played a SK up to level 38 back in 2000, but quit shortly after Luclin came out. I've been SUPER excited about this server, and am totally hooked now that I've seen how helpful everyone here is. This place rocks!


THANKS HAULING!!!!


-Alex

Now I just need to figure out which two spells I can afford when I hit lvl 8. =)

[Striiker]

I try to do this on a daily basis. Whenever I can, I'll run my enchanter to the usual places and drop clarity / haste on the folks fighting. I can remember when I was in their position and some kind stranger did the same. It's a huge help and really makes one appreciate the great people on the server. Often when players come to buy bronze armor off me, I'll give them some extra stuff to help them out. This not only helps them out a lot, it also gets me out of East Commons quicker. :-)

[Hagglebaron]

An excellent idea! Any and all newbies are welcome to swing by t2 (the second torch in the East Commonlands tunnel) whenever i am online, let me know what you need and i should be able to help.

Epic :)

As HB has been absent from his torch, i've been gearing out a noob a day all month.
this is a great idea and definitely been worthwhile so far.

[Hottbiscuits Dreadmuffin]

I need a punch-card, because hot damn, I wanna redeem it for some batwing crunchies.

Help a newb AND get free appetizers at the Maiden's Fancy? Ultra win.

[Farkle]

i'm a server noob, and i approve this message!

[Ektar]

I forgot about this retarded proposition of a month-long day and my decision to boycott it. if I helped you since july 1st either destroy the plat, unport yourself, or go attack a red mob to unrez yourself.

thanks

Too late sir! now you have to make up for lost time and help 3 noobs a day

[Ektar]

Not like they didn't answer your question.

[P99Millertime]

Being a shammy I think this is a great idea!

[azeth]

^ being a shaman IS a great idea.

[badthingfactory]

I was running around Steamfont mountains last night on my level 2 necro and a very nice person ran up to me, dropped 35 plat on my character, said "this should help you buy spells" and logged off. It kinda made my day.

[Malev]

As a newbie very happy to have stumbled on project1999 I have to say I approve of this message.

As someone frequently on CR, or as an encumbered cleric in bronze only (85/65) I have to say people have been great about sowing and tossing around buffs while I've been leveling!

[Anger]

WTB MGB Virtue, KEI, and SD ;)

[Moonzi]

some day Malev, I'll help you
