I, for one, find it troubling that a guild which prides itself on incubating new players and giving them a source of income discriminates so strongly against other new players that don't have "enough" platinum to pay for a port.

Perhaps it's time for the players of this server to decide if they really want to support an organization like this.

literally have never experienced someone denying me a port for not having "enough" plat... you seem to be making a lil something up over there

do DaP port for tips? adding someone to ignore for failing to provide a tip pretty funny since tips are not required in any situation and if it is thats called a fee.

now just openly admit you charge a fee and set a rate.

but oh wait then almost no one will ever pay higher then the "rate" and you will make less money.

honest marketing vrs profit margins.

Dial a Port. The proverbial "Uber" of p99

It's a great way to make some starter cash for gathering pixels to make your character stronger.

Step 1 - Roll Druid
Step 2 - Dial A Port
Step 3 - Roll twinked Enchanter
Step 4 - Level Enchanter
Step 5 - Profit

I'm glad they're around even if I don't use the service all that often. Free Bumperstickerooskies for you folks
This is exactly what I did starting on the server in November last year. 4 months in I have around 250k worth of stuff. Good plan!

My tip has diff levels of payout.

If a DaP has to get someone else to come get me and that person is speedy they get double for going out of their way! I also add an extra 25pp if I get a sow without asking. My general tip is 100-200pp. This being said a few times I was without plat and asked for a port without a donation. I have found I usually get them no problem! DaP is legit and the ones crying obviously are the ones not worthy of the services DaP provide[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I offer erotic role play in whatever illusion tickles the porters fancy. I was surprised how many halfing druids want to romp around with an ogre.

If Dial a Port was a strip club the 'porters' would port harder and longer for the people with the most cash.

If Dial a Port was an Apple Stand, it would give out apples faster and more readily to those paying more for apples.

If Dial a Port was a Baseball Team, they would give better seats, more access, and free hot dog vouchers to the people that continued to pay them the most money regularly.

Anyone whom finds such wild concepts too complex, just take a page from PvP:

Bag all your gear, and claim you are on a CR at all times. See how long you can beat the system.

Otherwise, just toss 30+ a port. If you can't handle that at a high level, use the run you have instead to ponder what else you could be killing to allow you to tip for ports.

Everybody wins.
