Not to be a dick.. but I think people help newbies to much on here now.

Just remember as nice as it is to get and give all that free plat and PL'in buffs.... you are depriving them of the struggles and hardships of their first character. That is can never be replaced.

Be nice to the noobers but dont make it so easy for them.

I think 99% of the people here were noobs and did their hardships back in 1999. Im sure helping them level a bit faster wont ruin them for life.

I had 3 lvl 60 chars during velious and I would love it if someone helped me with my rogue. I dont know why, but grind seemed easier back in the day.

my partner made an eruite wizzy on live (she only liked the erudite female graphics)

first time she stepped into tox some random guy came up and gave her 100pp...


it happened back then too so get over it

The newb you buff now could be the alt of a cleric that 90% rezzes you later.

Always pay it forward. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Good point. I got an oracle robe from someone for my first toon.

LOL ... so did I!

I have vowed I will not sell it. If I ever get better, I will give it to some other newbie...

Of course if I ever get better, then the plat that it could sell for would be pretty much meaningless anyway.

I felt the same way when I started. It's nice for me because I'm not one of those people who will stand around in the EC tunnel asking for buffs, I've never asked anybody for plat. I hate to even ask for SOW so most of the time I just travel slow. I frequently just eat exp loss because I don't like bothering people for a res.

But here on P99, people still hooked me up even though I didn't ask. Folks gave me buffs just because they wanted to. Clerics have sent me tells when my corpse is close by, "Do you want a res?" People have given me items because they have extra stuff and they figured I could use it. The generosity of P99's community is outstanding.

surest way to get into my pockets is to be over level 10 with your starting tunic/horrendous gear.

There's a difference between making someone's day with 500pp (spells/bags/food forever) and depriving them of hardship as if you're PLing them or something.

edit: also warriors need to be twinked, and I'm always happy to dish my $$ out to a warrior considering that they MUST /random win or buy 2x Ykeshas.

Your enc doesn't need an SMR, your SK doesn't need a Mithr 2 Hander etc, warriors however need some love.
