Just to clear Serendipity's name here, she jokes around alot and has the best heart. She is the first person to help people out and will give you the armor off her back (so to speak) for a friend.

As for porting fees..50 plat is a nice donation[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] When I port people for donations, sometimes I get very lucky and get around 10-200pp. I never would "Charge" for any mana use, but some people are just very generous like that.

You sowed me last night. I appreciate that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I fully accept if people choose to charge for something that only costs mana - mana does = time...It's great when they don't, but not out of line to ask...

Derailing Thread:

When I said that 50pp was a crime - I was partly joking.

I always donate at the minimum 10pp, special favors like picking me up in a zone and dropping me off somewhere else deserves a good amount more, but a 1 way port to BB seems crazy to charge 20pp. Maybe it is because I am a cleric and don’t have a ton of money.

My point was: is 10pp being cheap for a non CR port? I am only going based on how it was on Live on my old server – Torvonnilous, but 10pp was the going rate until PoP. Obviously it is impossible to put an exact price on ports and have everyone follow that, plus that is not really what I am after and I don't care - I just want to make sure I’m not known as a cheap ass. Ha.

But this is a better topic than the actual post, some guy yelling at some chick for not really doing anything, only saying she was going to do it.

Oh I agree with you entirely: i do consider 10p for a port kind of cheap. Ports are a big chunk of mana at lower levels (when you first get them), and for 10p, a level 45+ wizard or druid could simply spend approximately 6 minutes in OOT on seafuries or go kill a halfling guard (although druids probably wouldn't want to kill a halfling guard...).

Of course, ability to pay is relative, so most people understand that. Ports aren't a good way to make money overall...

Oh and 10 plat is fine for a port..however, coming from a level 40 plus..just means they are being cheap LOL. I turn down anything less than 10 because it means they need it more than I do!!

Most druids pre level 40 will have under 200 wisdom, and therefore have less than 1,500 mana.

When you are asking for a pickup port, we have to spend 150 mana to port to you, 300 to port you to where you want to go, then 150 mana or 70 if we are bound... somewhere that we would like to be after doing this favor for you.

As you can see it adds up quick, that mana is another 5min of our time to regen. A 40 druid can kill a hill giant in that time and get around 30-40plat + exp, so if you aren't donating at least that much for a pickup port, imo its too little.

CR and low levels are exceptions, however I refuse to port low levels to certain destinations for personal reasons. A level 2 Half Elf trying to get to EC so that they can just bitch and moan about not getting regen/DS from every high level toon in EC tunnel, I would prefer stay in Qeynos!

anything under 20 is bullshit. Especially if you send me a tell across continent to come pick you up, drop u off somewhere, then gate back and run to where i was at. I don't even bother with anyone who says "for donation." NO I don't need your 10 or 15 pp, that's why if im ever auctioning ports, I say a price of 25pp, no more no less, it kinda sucks if someone was going to pay more, but it keeps the people who stiff you for ports from sending you the imfamous "can u come and pick up up in Toxx and port me to NK, ill donate"
