If someone just saved you a long trip, who cares whether he's using the English language appropriately or not? Just give the guy something.

"Grammarian" is not a class in this game.

Well stated. :cool: Tip is more appropriate. Since there is really no set cost, it is like a restaurant. Tip what you want, not the so so 15, 20%.:D

The server should prepare for some tip inflation when it comes to ports.

There's a ton of plat floating around on the server and the "accepted" tip these days is 50pp. This will go up.

It will also be revenge of the Druids and Wizards for constantly getting shit for not being an Iksar Monk and not being let into groups and all the other BS we deal with from the "bro culture" on this server. If you want a ride to Velious "you gotta pay the troll's toll" lol

This will especially be the case for Translocates. You won't get a boot if you don't pay first. I fully intend on just saying "no" to people wearing certain guild tags or saying something like "sure I'll boot you, 500pp guy." I will continue extend my benevolence to true nubs.

Don't be surprised if you ask a Wiz for Translocate and you get a straight "no." Revenge of the nerds rofl

'Quoted for the truth' I think the phrase is. I fully expect a few 'Dial a Port' type indivuals posting up their wizards in certain high-traffic zones in some kind of awesome network of easy-access Translocates, but if you wanna use that network? Troll toll.

Touche! I very well may have used the words interchangeably by mistake.
