What do you guys tip for ports?

[nalkin]

I usually pay 50p for a standard port. I have never been in a situation where I need them immediately but if so I would probably pay more.

Similarly, I usually pay 150p for a 90% rez if the body is at a zl. I pay more if its very out of the way or a major inconvenience to them.

For rezzes, I try to pay at least 100pp, and more if any kind of effort is required of the cleric. If a cleric has to look for/drag a corpse, run across zones, etc, you shouldn't even be asking unless you're willing to donate at least 100pp.

For instance, I was doing 90% rezzes the other day for donations. Got a tell for one in Mistmoore, so I got a port (which I paid 20pp for) and ran over there. Did the rez, got a "thnx" as he logged. This is not acceptable. It's fine if the corpse is at my feet, but traveling to a different continent for one rez while getting nothing for it will get someone added to my "list".

What a jerk! It is never a good idea to piss off your clerics.

Of course you don't need to shout for a port, Trimm, because you got a guild full of druids. Sorry I haven't been online recently to offer my taxi services.

Oh, and since they are all taken out of context anyway, here's one for your sig:

Trimm is 103% correct, everybody listen to Trimm.

porting is mostly reserved for high end players organizing... you shouldn't really need to port if you plan ahead were you will be leveling with your friends, also post 30 its pretty much there for when you want to get into a group you've been waiting on to get like a drop or something... after a month on the server you will accumulate enough plat for ports etc probably

Its part of going from a begger on the streets to pimpin your EQ lewtz and powerz ... part of the classic game... havin ports is like having a fleet of leer jets

xp grinding pro's don't port unless they have to =)

While this is true, I really don't ask for ports in guild unless someone offers first. I understand that druids and wizards get a dozen tells for ports a day and I don't feel like bothering anyone.

[snifs]

Anything 10pp or more, is OK when I'm porting. As long as there is some kind of tip it's fine...it's the people that send me tells saying "hey let me buy a port to BB" then they just run off afterwards, that annoy me.

But ya, I'd say the average is 20pp or so.

As a cleric, I rarely had to 'pay' for ports. Most wizzies/druids did them on the house especially if they were porting me to rez someone. Invariably, if they charged I'd find their corpse soon enough and I'd rez them for free just like always. Funny thing, they never charged me after that lol.

Funny Rez story:

I get a tell one night:

Darwyn: Dude, run to the ring.

I was in some godforsaken zone, I don't even remember... I trot off to the druid ring and Greymaan appears with a naked Darwyn.

Me: Dude, you're naked
Darwyn & Greymaan: Don't ask....

We port to Misty Thicket.

Me: Dude, Misty?
Darwyn: You can't tell ANYONE about this.
Greymaan: Man, you can't keep stuff like this quiet.
Me: WTF?

We run down to the RV zone tunnel and there lays a Darwyn corpse.

Me: Ok, if you want a rez, I want an explanation.
Darwyn: Dude, no.
Me: Ok, gating.
Darwyn: sigh, Ok, we were porting out and I started a nuke on the guards, I mistimed the nuke and it went off WAY too early, hit the guard and he killed me before the port went off...happy?
Me: ....
Me: ....
Darwyn: You gonna rez me now?
Me: Can't see tears blocking eyes
Darwyn: Tears?
Me: laughing pain face and ribs
Darwyn: It's not that funny
Greymaan: Yes, yes it is.
Darwyn: Hush!
Me: can't breath
<time passes>
Darwyn: Ok, it's been like 10 minutes, get with the rezzin
Me: Wait, a minute longer
Me: Ok casting, I can see again, whew, that hurt
Darwyn: DIAF
Greymaan: Ok, porting....want to try that again Dar?
Darwyn: omg stfu
Me: Don't die zoning to Freeport or anything
Darwyn: OMG I shoulda eat the death.
Greymaan: You couldn't, someone would have noticed you were 49.
Me: OMG You lost a level? HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
Darwyn: ...

And everyone wonders sometimes why I'm soooooo forking crabby, LOLOLOL.

On the porting, if I don't offer 50pp for a ride I just flat don't get one, except very rarely.

True story: Running to MM on CR myself one day a druid /t me asking if he could donate for a rez in the zone. I said sure & waited while he drug his body to me. He gets there, I rez, heal & buff him. No tip. No sow, regen, need a ride anywhere yourself nekkid cleric? NOTHING. He said THX! and ported out leaving me sitting there in shock OOM & at 20% health.

Next day I have to pay him 50pp for a port.

Ahhhhh
