Please disclose the following information from the get go:
*The zone it is in.
*The number of corpses to be rezzed (Do not just ask 'Willing to do some rezzes?")
*If not near the zone I am currently in, if a port is provided.
*If it is in an area like Grobb or Ogguk where I potentially require an invis/camo to get in.
*Any associated renumeration or payment, value, donation, etc.
*Any extenuating circumstances why you would like a rez (i.e.: our groupmate who died was dense and forgot to get a bind so now he is on the other continent)

Please do the following:
*Take anon/role off. I am tired of rezzing those who would have made back their exp in less time it takes a reztimer to wear off or me to recover my mana. I am far more inclined to rez you when I know what level you are and what guild you are in.
*Drag any of the aforementioned corpses to an accessible location ahead of my arrival if possible. If I am camping a mob in that same zone, this means bring it to a convenient place near my camp without training me (I do not want to play hide and seek with your corpse).
*Don't accidentally find more corpses you "forgot" about after I arrive. (Happens much more than you would think...)

Please consider the following:
*You are asking (or paying) for my time. The convenience of your request to me will probably have a direct correlation to my response. Please don't be a dick if I say no. Subsequent begging and whining does not increase your odds of it happening any. My playtime is my own, I am not responsible for fixing your mistakes and exp deaths.
*At full mana I have slightly more than enough for 3 90% rezzes. It takes me 14 minutes sitting and with call of bones to get that back.
*If I have my /anon or /role tag on there is the possibility I am hiding from rez requests.
*If you do not receive a response at all when you ask, don't ask again right away. I might have something else to do at that moment that requires my attention and I consider more valuable than a donation or plat. I might be AFK, fighting a mob, engaging in a business transaction or rezzing other people. I generally try and get back to everyone that sends me a tell in game relatively quickly.
Then again I could just be ignoring your request for 11 rezzes for your level 50 Necro in Lower Guk deadside for 25pp and a Fine Steel Dagger(No I am not kidding, I have had that one before).

This may seem like nothing but bitching and whining (which is why I put it in RnF to start with), but every day I get some absolutely ludicrous requests from players that think they are somehow entitled to be immediately rezzed, and that they are doing me some earth-shattering favour by letting me buy a port with my own money and rez them one and a half continents away for 15p -- You're not, drown in a bucket of used douche.

Following these guidelines will make it all the more likely I respond decisively and expediently to any rez requests you have, and will probably work on some of Project1999's other Clerics too.
I agree with 100% of everything in this post.

For a 90% rez I always pay at least 90 plat or so, and I try to ask people a maximum of 2 zones away.

I agree with your post sir. And to be honest, every cleric I've run into has been extremely nice. My donations have been around 50pp a corpse. Some clerics actually refuse to take it. I'll /friend them! and sit back and chat with them for a bit.

was this the same cleric or is this just a case of negative karma making the world a worse place? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I flat out HATE rezzing people. If I could delete the resurrection spell from my spellbook and actually have people believe that I did, I would. People requesting rezzes are so fucking annoying. It's like a nonstop guilt trip from the time I log into my cleric til the time I log out.

I can tolerate the legit rez requests (i.e. you are over level 35) to a degree so long as they aren't cocks about it. If you are level 13 unless you are bound in Toxx and died in EFP, I am probably not going to rez you. You're 20 and died 7 times at aviaks in SK? Level 19 in Unrest? I'll give you something better than a rez. Free advice: Stop sucking at everquest. Also, go fuck yourself.

I also completely agree with the anon/role thing. I am automatically assuming you are an asshole if you are asking me if I am free to res while you are anon. I have a 50 cleric and I am never anon. Unless you are in the middle of super secret guild ninja strike tactics (at which point you wouldn't be asking me for a rez) I see no reason for you to be anon. You are probably not going to get a rez.

The amount of money you offer to rez is typically not relevant. 500pp for a rez is probably excessive, but 500pp is not really a lot of money. If you are expecting me to be drooling at the mouth over 500pp you need to lay off the crack. If I tell you no, offering me a whopping 500pp is not going to change my mind. I just don't care.

I foresee Zarina getting a lot of tells for ridiculous rezzes from lowbie characters in the future. Just a heads up, back when my wizard was like 17 he died in some where in OOT... I'm not really sure where since I was afk swimming, but I'll just consent you and let you figure that out. Thanks a bunch!

In the same kind of general thought as this post, ever since I started leveling up my wizard - I get so mad when I receive tells like..

"hey, can I get a port for a CR?"

Ok, first of all - I don't care WHY you need a port. The reason you need a port is going to have pretty much no influence on whether or not I will port you. The factors that influence whether or not I'm going to are whether or not I'm at my computer, whether or not I'm busy, how much you're paying, if I like you.. and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting. The fact that you're on a CR doesn't really play into it. Stop trying to milk me for a sympathy port - because it's not happening.

Secondly - if you're sending me a tell (i.e. I'm not actively advertising that I'm porting... which I never do, so will never be the case) - let me know your terms for porting. Are you expecting it free or paying? If so, how much? Where do you need to go? Where are you currently? These are all things that I want to know.

If I'm just chilling in EC and actually at my computer, I've got no problem porting people generally... especially if they're throwing me some cash. I just think it's annoying/hilarious when I come back from being afk for a few hours in EC and see like 20 tells for ports, and like 1/2 of them are these sympathy card "I need a port for CR" bullshit. Even if I'm at my computer, I've just started ignoring tells like that.
