Twink a noob?

[TheSK]

Hey everyone! I started playing on this server recently and have tried several characters out. I really like the server as it has brought back several good memories from back in the day.

Basically, I am wondering if there is anyone out there with a lot of plat laying around or extra items laying around that they do not use and would be willing to twink out my character?

I would be greatly appreciative and would be willing to return the favor when I am able to do so. Thank in advance if you can help! :)

[Resheph]

Well Hell, if you're gonna hop on asking for stuff, I want some too on my level 5 Bard! O.O

But in all seriousness, people on the server are cool. I've gotten a few freebies and even a few plat. It's helped a lot, though it's kind of bad form to flat-out ask for it. Hell, I have a list of people to pay back once I start making bank.

[Slave]

it's kind of bad form to flat-out ask for it.

[TheSK]

Well, there is a lot of people with stuff just laying around or tons of plat just sitting there and nothing to spend it on. I'm sure some people frown upon others asking for stuff, but I really don't see the shame in it. Considering most of the new p99 players are coming from games where progression is so easy.

However, I'm not asking for much. I just want to kick-start my p99 progression and immerse myself in the game. :)

[SupaflyIRL]

nah

[Raavak]

Sometimes you might get people giving out stuff in noobie zones, or in East Commonlands. When I was brand spanking new I begged a player for money for spells, and he gave me 10pp which allowed me to buy some bags and get all my useful spells for many levels.

[BelenosGotHeals]

weak dude, weak.

[TheSK]

Agreed, very weak. I thought there were be at least 1 person willing to help out new players.

[DeathByCactus]

I give freely when I can, but only to the unsuspecting. Makes things more enjoyable and keeps people from becoming too complacent.

It's kinda like those homeless people who sit at CVS/Walgreens and when you give them some change they look at you and say, "Dude, this can't even get me a sandwich."

Yeah, gimme mah money back Mr. Entitled because you're a professional beggar.

[BelenosGotHeals]

Agreed, very weak. I thought there were be at least 1 person willing to help out new players.

lol there's plenty of people willing to help you bud, but sometimes its also good to just log in and play the game...make friends, join a guild and acquire some gear that way. like you said most new people here come from EZ mode EQ on live or emu, so play some real EQ and earn your gear...

of course that being said I'm sure if you beg in the forums and EC long enough someone will eventually throw something your way

[TheSK]

The problem with someone randomly giving you something in game is that is where the help stops.

For example, my first character was a shadow knight and someone randomly gave me a weapon which was AWESOME. Thank you so much to that awesome person. Unfortunately, after I had that weapon equipped everyone thought I was a twink. So, I ended up being a shadow knight with a decent weapon and no armor, until my friend crafted us some banded armor. Unfortunately my friend decided to stop playing the game :(

That is why I thought this would be a better approach.

[Norathorr]

I started recently too. I have had some help from people. Some have been handouts others I have done work for high end players needing stuff for tradeskills. Farming spiderling silks and bear skins etc in return for some banded or plat. With velious on the horizon alot are readying themselves for shawl quests etc so there is a good market for low end tradeskill drops to get your feet on the ground.

So now you have been given a magic weapon and banded armor... what is the problem exactly? You really need more than this handed to you?

[Cypher.]

I'll regularly go around newbie zones, unloading banded, bronze, dragoon dirks, screaming maces, etc to the random low levels that I see. Plenty of people do this from my experience and many more would gladly give some high level buffs to help a newbie out.

However, I do agree that it is bad form to blatantly ask for items as, in my opinion, it's taking advantage of an already relatively generous player base.

Regardless though, send a tell to Menlaas or Canelina and I might have something stashed away.

[TheSK]

Actually Slave, I don't have that stuff anymore. I let a "friend" borrow it before I logged out and went to bed for the night. They said they would give it back when I logged in the next day. I havent seen that "friend" since.

[BelenosGotHeals]

I understand what you're saying man, but the best approach I believe would be to not depend on handouts at all for your stuff but to instead quest/grind/craft it yourself...be smart about the money you make grouping and haggle yourself some deals in EC, people are generally much more willing to help you if you look like you're trying to help yourself. and a decent 1hs and a full suit of banded is just fine for a newbie SK anyway, you don't need uber gear to contribute to a group. just some thoughts, good luck in whatever you decide to do

[TheSK]

Thanks Belenos! Good luck to you too!

[Silo69]

when i first started here... i wore cloth armor till lvl 40....

there were no handouts, there were no high lvl players ....

so yea, im in on the free fungi thread, pls pimp my twinks twink

i know some of you are hording them tunics pls pass one to a good fellow

[Galaa]

anyone wanna loan me a fungi tunic for like 2-3 weeks? So that I can get my SK to lvl up faster :)

[Lyra]

Well I guess that is a sign the server is successful:

THE BEGGARS HAVE ARRIVED!

[TheSK]

Apparently the jerks have arrived as well. Oh well, I love you anyways :)

[Nagash]

No

[Resheph]

Apparently the jerks have arrived as well. Oh well, I love you anyways :)

It's not really an issue of jerks, it's an issue of etiquette. People don't like begging. TBH, you don't need much by way of gear to get started. If it hasn't been given to you yet, though, here's a link you need to look over (and bookmark the Wiki). I made 25p today dumping 5 stacks of bone chips my Wizard had because he simply has a fetish for blowing up skeletons. 25p may not seem like much, but I might get lucky and get some banded for my Bard with it...

[gotrocks]

<3 this girl.

for real though, it is indeed bad form to straight up ask on the forums for help.

There is an *extremely* giving atmosphere on P99, you just need to jump in and run around a bit. You might be pleasantly surprised at what you find.

Me personally, I usually only give stuff away to people who don't ask... every so often I'll go into EC and unload the useless stuff i've found while leveling and just hand it out in shouts. I know many, many players who do this as well.

And, if you happen to be a naked iksar and you run by me, well, ill usually stop you and unload whatever I have on you, because I'm an iksar too and everyone hates us :D

tl;dr play the game, i promise the gear will come.

[Resheph]

And, if you happen to be a naked iksar and you run by me, well, ill usually stop you and unload whatever I have on you, because I'm an iksar too and everyone hates us

I freaking LOVE Iksar. TBH, if Velious comes out before my bard hits 60 I'm rolling an Ikky SK

[skorge]

just do what i did when i started - roll a female character and run it to EC to try to score some plat/items, lol...i got about 30p or so when i tried this when i first started playing p99...it helped me fund my spells; also make a level 1 halfling and suicide it, start in MT...see if anyone is killing guards at wall and ask if u can loot the shields, they vendor for like 1.5 plat

[Massive Marc]

LOL WTF ?? I'll help you bro, clearly people in this thread are uptight. Send me a message in game, I can help out with some twink gear to get you rolling.

for real though, it is indeed bad form to straight up ask on the forums for help.

holy fucking basement dweller. Get off your high horse. GOD FORBID SOMEONE ASKS FOR HELP ON THE FORUMS...NOOO...BAD FORM...dum.

lol @ skorge who has probably 100X the plat I do, and tells you to go loot shields in misty...rofl.

[Itap]

Says the dude who was asking for a free rez in HHK the other day :rolleyes:

[gotrocks]

holy fucking basement dweller. Get off your high horse. GOD FORBID SOMEONE ASKS FOR HELP ON THE FORUMS...NOOO...BAD FORM...dum.


let me rephrase that, because as it was posted it does sound incredibly stupid.

You should *absolutely* ask for help on the forums, but it is generally recognized as "bad form" to beg on here.

Does that mean you shouldn't do it? not necessarily, but I pretty much relate it to asking a casual friend (or stranger) if you can come over to play their xbox and eat all their food. It's kind of rude :)

But you'll definitely get assholes like marc throwing pp and lewtz at you as well, so idk, I could be wrong.

I'm kidding about the asshole thing, marc. Well, really, i'm not, but i sort of mean it in a good way.

Says the dude who was asking for a free rez in HHK the other day

so three days ago. and already responded to. but way to be constructive.

[Massive Marc]

wow.. just wow... fucking fail so hard.

[bouncerr 2.0]

I'll help you out bro send pm with character name

[TheSK]

I don't think I ever begged, I simply asked for help. You guys can take it how you want I guess, but I think Marc is right. You guys probably need to relax a little bit.

[Vladesch]

Begging for gear is piss weak.

[Silo69]

I'll help you out bro send pm with character name

bouncer whats your new in game name?

[Vexenu]

The shameless begging and gross attitude of entitlement made no sense until I realized OP was female.

Should have just come out and said you were looking for an EQ sugar daddy.

[Dark Team]

Unfounded rage, white knights and bitter sexism; this thread has it all. Good read :P

[TheSK]

Geez, I didn't know asking for a little help would cause all of this.

[Nagash]

I don't think I ever begged, I simply asked for help. You guys can take it how you want I guess, but I think Marc is right. You guys probably need to relax a little bit.

There is a difference between asking for help and asking people to pour whatever they got on you to twink your new toon (the later being a super form of the former).

I supposed what pissed people off was the tone of your post. It may not have been your intent to come across as a beggar and simply to ask for help but it certainly has been the result for a lot of people who reacted accordingly.

On a side note, you don't give the in game name of your toon so you will take the full retaliation/mocking force of people who didn't like your approach without the possibility to benefit from the people who are happy to oblige.

Welcome to the server though.

Actually I just asked for stuff that people had laying around and were not intending to use.

I don't think the people who got "pissed" off acted accordingly, because I just asked for some help. I never begged, and if the "people" took it as such I'm sorry. Maybe you should read and not make assumptions.

I didn't give an in-game name because I did not want people to harass me in-game. I also thought it was common for people to PM each other.

Thank you for the welcome btw. :)

[Massive Marc]

My reading comp is shit, I made a bunch of assumption and pretty much made an ass of myself.

Meh, I kind of agree with Nagash. If our new player had just deleted "lots of plat" and "twink out" I don't think we'd be having this conversation. People have made threads like this before without getting this kind of irritated response.

[TheSK]

I think you just need to relax a little bit. I never asked for an opinion or how anyone felt about the post. I simply asked for help, and if you aren't willing to help then I don't think you should reply.

Yeah, but you're you. You're never actually that pissed off :D

Sad trolls. I feel sorry for you guys :(

[Karafa]

Agreed, very weak. I thought there were be at least 1 person willing to help out new players.

No shame in this bros game. I gave free things away all the time, but I never come on the forums to find someone to give it to; especially if they ask for it!

[Vladesch]

This.
Your actions aren't affecting anyone.
Doesn't stop us having a bad opinion of you though.

[Resheph]

Sad trolls. I feel sorry for you guys :(

I'm not sure if you're truly new or a 'returning' player that has simply forgotten EQ etiquette but I'll give you a bit of a refresher: outside of the forums designed for such things (such as Rants & Flames) it's a bad idea to insult people. It's especially bad to do so when you yourself were the thread-starter.

I told you myself that people on this server are generally cool and willing to help with gear. I also pointed out that it's bad form to flat-out ask for it (asking for help in guild is OK, within reason). You should have simply said 'thank you' and moved on.

This is not WoW. Reputation matters a great deal. The exception is the RnF forum.

[Autotune]

asking for handouts is a good way to not get handouts

[Lexical]

I think you are the one who set the negative tone for this thread in the beginning.

In case I missed something, where was I supposed to say thank you? Sorry, I'm not going to thank anyone who is not helpful, and definitely not thanking anyone who is the exact opposite of helpful.

I was in no way negative. In fact, I told you people are helpful. My first remark was half a joke and half serious.

And yes, saying 'OK, thanks for the info' would have been your best response.

[Bohab]

you keep saying "help"... why do you need all this help? just play the game and earn on your own. I don't quite understand this need you have to be helped. just play!

Someone please give this annoying person some lowbie items in-game then post her player name here so she can be blacklisted and/or publicly mocked for her galling attitude.

i came on this server from scratch two weeks ago with two other friends. all three of us planned on playing the game as it were intended, farming things ourselves and working our way through the initial stage of the game with obviously shitty gear.

it just so happened that we'd get buffed by a druid or shaman once in a while, and that someone that quit and gave us a decent chunk of plat so we could buy a few things from EC. other than that, we had no intentions of trying to get PL'd or carried throughout the game.

seeing this post really irritates me. stick to the hidden forest or something, i'd rather not have to end up grouping with you anyway. win win for this server, really.

what's even more irritating are the people defending you.

It's hilarious that this Massive Marc dude calls everyone "kid" as if it makes him a bigger person or validates his point in any way. This is the type of toxic attitude that really turned me off about league of legends and made me never want to play it again, the community is TERRIBLE.

That being said, most everyone here is PROBABLY over 25 years old, considering the era of this game. Grow up and step outside.. it may teach you how to interact with people in a productive way instead of f5ing this thread in anticipation of trolling another post. "Nice join date, bro"

Edit: TheSK you may have gotten a much better response if you weren't so defensive about what you were posting. It really rubs people the wrong way, as you can see.

keep saying mad every other word, i'm sure it works on some people out there. i'm pretty amazing at everything i do though.

in all seriousness, though. people begging the way this guy is doing is exactly how you take a very generous community and flip it completely around. people have always loved being generous in everquest, since i played on live, but beggers deter people from being kind. congrats on doing your part in turning something amazing to shit.

Now that you found your Sugar Daddy, be sure not to borrow gear to your friend “corpserot”

Actually Slave, I don't have that stuff anymore. I let a "friend" borrow it before I logged out and went to bed for the night. They said they would give it back when I logged in the next day. I havent seen that "friend" since.

the way people are begging ? how bad is your reading comp ? go back, slowly read the op, then come back and say that was begging ? The OP could not have asked in any nicer of a way.

Do you shit kick little kids coming to your door asking for bottles so they can go camping ?

You're blowing something so out of proportion, its fucking ridiculous. get a fucking grip. this isn't live, you don't pay a sub and have had your whole gaming experience on this sever handed to you for free. fucking pathetic.

Well, you are wrong about both.

1) I have not found a sugar daddy. Nor am I looking for one, despite what you may think.

2) I actually got my corpse back that day. Good try though!

Now that you have found the truth, be sure to not make ignorrant assumptions!

[Poundruss]

Do you shit kick little kids coming to your door asking for bottles so they can go camping ?

no, but i would tell a kid to get lost that already had enough money to go camping, but want some extra money so they could buy some pokemon cards or a new gameboy they could play with on the ride to the campground.

your analogies are horrible.


asking for help is done when the initial problem or issue cannot be done without assistance, whereas begging is asking for something that is in no way required to complete your initial goal or task.

Someone helped me out! Thanks to Bouncer I can now enjoy the game on my ranger.

Bouncer you are legit, everyone else is just a non-helpful troll.

Massive Marc never helped, he was just trolling the trolls. Which, I guess, could make him even more pathetic than the trolls.

Either way, you little carebears can go on about your business.

Bouncer I owe you bro! You are the man and I will pay you back!

[Lagaidh]

Okay folks. You all need to start recognizing the "I'm new" trolls. Granted, I've only read one page of this thread yet... but I'm guessing there are another 9 of conversation spurred by bites =)

LOL, I told you to message me in game and you didn't. Instead you're praising someone that literally got caught RMT, cheating and kicked out of the top guild on our server. Go get em killer.

fucking beggarrs, just ruin everything.



lol wut ?

Should get out more. You would know putting the kids out front has increased beggars earnings exponentially.

[Resheph]

Either way, you little carebears can go on about your business.

I sincerely hope someone releases your Rangers name and people blacklist you. Not for begging (which you were doing, by definition), but because you were told by people it wasn't wanted and not only did it anyway, but you argued and insulted people until you got what you wanted.

This is the kind of crap the WoW community encouraged and, sadly, it's made it's way into the very community that wants to avoid all that crap. Thank you, TheSK, for reminding me that you cannot go back in time.

I really, really hope you are right. If that is the case. I bow. A++

How was I supposed to message you in game when I don't know your in-game name? Is it so hard for you to move your "massive" fingers to click the private message box to see my in-game name? Maybe you just had a "massive" priority of trolling the thread and not really helping. That's what I would think considering your responding PM's.

Either way, I got help and thanks to the person that did help!

Sorry but your "massive" troll session is over :D

[Lagaidh]

The shameless begging and gross attitude of entitlement made no sense until I realized OP was female.

Should have just come out and said you were looking for an EQ sugar daddy.

Ah. Naivete.

Check.

Hey now- it looked like a perfect troll. I'd have given a good 7/10 had it been contrived!

If you need a reminder you either need to 1) Stop being so delusional or 2) Grow up....carebear

[Resheph]

Thank you, Marc

[Lyra]

Marc...

Thank you. You made my day.

[TheSK]

OMG Marc...are you serious??? Why did you release my name???

[Poundruss]

if this thread is entirely serious, i now approve of marc.

seems to be going the way of troll thread the more posts i read from this kid, though.

[Massive Marc]

OMG Marc...are you serious??? Why did you release my name???

you said my fingers were "massive". thats a no no.

[Resheph]

OMG Marc...are you serious??? Why did you release my name???

Bam. Just burned half the bridges you'll have in the game. Even if you reroll, people will eventually find you. That's one of the things about being on a server with only 2000 people... people know one another, eventually.

Have fun. On, by the way, Classic EQ pretty much requires ports, corpse recovery and resurrections at some point. Rangers do none of those.

[Splorf22]

So, you immediately shit on the one guy white knighting you after you get what you want. Wow, your personality just improves with every post.

P.S. Marc, the key is to wait a month and then out her once she hit L30 and can't triviallly reroll . . . .

[August]

Don't feed the trolls, people.

It's literally the number 4 rule of the internet.

Rangers do a lot of great things. I will have fun and enjoy the game. If someone has a problem with me because I asked for help, then they don't have to play with me. All in all, there is more people enjoying the game and not getting caught up in this forum drama. So, when it comes down to it, if they want a good ranger in their group they will invite me. I'm pretty damn sure they wont be like "Hey, wait, let's go check the forum real quick and run a background check on this guy". If a group does happen to do that then I don't want to play with them anyways. On that note, I hope I don't see most of you in game! For the decent people, I'm looking forward to playing with you!

Ya the "OMG MARC" post did it in.

But I have to say, good job.

Was entertaining for all I think.

I don't think it's right to grief someone off of the server just for begging.

Nocturn AKA Evelinn~

It really IS NOT cool to do RMT thing.

I understand you were trying to help, but that kind of kills the server.

You should really reconsider what you are doing. ;)

Calling everyone a troll...great way to start ur life in P99.

Ur character name is Nanolas?

[Lagaidh]

/boggle

Either the troll's world class, or we're dealing with a kid here... or if adult, one that missed some stages of development.

I'm ashamed of myself that I can't tell. I always have trouble telling when the internet persona decides to go down with the ship despite all advice / protestation to the opposite. I find it hard to know if it's a pride-hurt kid, or a really savvy troll.

[Lexical]

It was most certainly a troll. OP fed the flames intentionally and with little remorse. He also intentionally tried to provoke people and lied about being a girl. The original post was pretty good though so I will give it a 6/10.

This is a serious accusation. If this is true, here is no the place to report it but this should get reported to the GM along with the proofs. Doing it here may get you a ban for publicly attacking another person and is of no use (a quote is easy to create, only the moderators can track it to confirm it is a true one).

Not sure alienating one of the few people defending you was the wisest thing you did Nanolas.

Either way, you little carebears can go on about your business.

If you don't like carebears I suggest you reroll on red, they are still waiting for a 23rd player.

If a moderator can track it and they want to then let them do it. It is none of your business what they do.

Massive Marc alienated himself, and he lied. He said he was going to help and he never did. So to sum up his position, he is an alienated, lying troll. Not sure you are very wise, obviously lol.

If I wanted to PVP I would go play WoW. Pathetic suggestion and it shows your wisdom, or lack thereof.

P.S. I only received 150k plat, a lamentation, hero bracer, ivy etched armor, and a flowing black silk sash. I appreaciate it, but does anyone have anything better they can give me. I really want some good stuff!

Bragging or srs? No, really, I wanna know.

Either way, anyone who fought for you before is going to change their stance if they have any sense. You're either incredibly greedy or such a royal butthole that you can't just take what was given to you and run, you have to flaunt it in front of everyone's faces.

I personally was happy when my guildie sold me banded last night at a discount.

Wait....what? I think you are on the wrong thread. Do you wear glasses? If you dont you should get an eye exam.

[TheSK]

I personally was happy when my guildie sold me banded last night at a discount.

You are really trying to hard here.

Stop getting on this thread and trying to play "the good player" role in order for someone to feel sorry for you and give you items. No one is going to give you any sympathy.

Either be or man and step up to the plate, or /q and uninstall your game.

No one likes a cry baby like you, Resheph. :(

[sox7d]

Can't tell if SK is trolling or really is this much of a fucking scumbag.

[Breeziyo]

the 180 there means it's a troll

i know because i have seen many trolls in my day and can tell by the pixels

Trying? Trying what? Trying to not be a &$#hat by begging, or trying to not be an &$#hat by taunting people because I got my way by whining on the forums until someone took pity on me?

My point, good sir, was that small amounts of generosity are good and it doesn't take a lot to twink a character past where they would normally be to start.

There is no 'plate' to step up to. Some of us grew up a little, realized what matters and try to avoid being jerks to people unless they deserve it. I'm as much of an &$#hat as anyone else, I just reserve that for people that show they don't deserve respect of any kind.

And when have I cried about anything? My specialty is pointing out fallacies in arguments and helping the 'better-than-thou' people look like tools with their own words.

[Nagash]

We should organise the Olympics of Stupidity, I bet TheSk would finish second, he is too dense to finish first.

Yeah. I'll have to give some points for being kept guessing. At first, I thought it was a troll, but the follow-ups were even better and I thought it was plausible we had a naive person...

Very good =) This thread was at least more entertaining than updating the data access layer of our payments stack =P

Sorry bro your better off asking in game. The forums has alot of basement dwelling trolls who look to cause problems and put down people at every turn, as you can see from above ^^/ You'll find alot of the nicer people around the homecitys who dont mind buffing you and occasionally throwing you some money or gear, dont even have to ask.

Thanks for the reply Raptur, but someone gave me 150k plat and a full set of Ivy etched armor, a lamentation, hero bracer, flowing black silk sash and some other crap items. I was really hoping for better stuff, but I guess this will do for now.
