On Green/Teal I must be playing the wrong game. I've always been told by the folks in my guild and even by some of the teleporters that 4pp or 5pp would suffice as a tip. I've never heard of this 1pp per character level. I didn't even think people wanted that much money for a port. Wow all this time I must have been tipping wrong if that's the expectation. These porters should just PUT the amount they want instead of saying "FOR TIPS".

The one plat a level thing is a blue ritual not green.

I would say 0.5p per level is a good minimum standard at this point in the game. If you are feeling more generous that's great.

You can certainly pay less if you're so inclined, but you also risk being ignored on future port requests if that becomes your reputation.

I think 5-10 pp would be fair, if the porter isn't busy, not everyone is rich. Corpse-runs are free.

Of course if there are reagents involved, like plane of hate and such, I expect the customer to provide those as well.

If the porter is busy, then I wouldn't expect ports from him at all...unless he was a guildie/friend and the customer did all the legwork.

You get it all wrong. It is port energy related: 1pp per weight unit. So monks port for 15 and well an ogre warrior 100+

On green/teal 5-20pp per port depending how far along you are monetarily. On blue 30-50pp cause 10 years of mudflation.

Using mudfation as an argument, is not fair to new players who are just starting on an old server imo. Players don't start with thousands of plat at level 1 if they are new...

Yes, now.
But I remember a few years back when I played on blue with a fresh account, How I just gave up on trading with other players because everyone just assumed I had lots of plat. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Letting mudflation dictate prices is not good for the server, If you want new players to feel like they have a chance.

Whats done is done though. You cant just ignore that lots of players have multiple lvl 60s and thousands of disposable plat.
