Default Too Many Porters

What is going on with this server? This isn't the same server as I once fell in love with. I see like 6 Druids in the Overthere advertising that they are porting when there are 15 people total in zone.

There are so many porters, probably enough for one personal porter per person. All I see in WC or EC or any crowded zones are people desperate to port YOU. Oh my Prexus they are like hyenas all trying to compete to /tell someone first to gain some coin. And <Dial a Port>? Don't get me started on that.

It's too easy to get a port, might as well just open PoK... Put them out of business and stop hearing the desperate attempts to port the world.

Enjoy the journey, take a walk... see the beautiful landscapes. When's the last time you took a boat? Exactly because porters are RAMMING their desperate attempts at service down your throat.

Good riddance, not even Prexus can save you.

Porters need to be competitive in pricing.

I remember in '99 when the game first came out, getting a port or a rez was almost miracle status lol...all while being on 56k. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sounds like a <Dial A Port> bro that took a hit on in his wallet when everyone realized they could level up a druid to 29 and bind it in Overthere for their buddies.

Cuz you guys keep telling people to roll druid as their first char and port people for money. So now 1/3 players are boxing a druid porting people while they play.

What did you expect would happen with a level cap of 60 and no new content ever again? P99 has been locked into this Era for the last 10 years. Live had FOURTEEN expansions at that point. Of course this server would devolve into weird unclassic mechanics being stuck in one particular Era.
