Okay so to clarify, when you say you can't touch it is that because you died in or around Neriak on the character that had the money and it's on your corpse? Or is it because you put it in the bank?

If you put it in the bank, your character's bank can be accessed from any other bank in the world. So you could go to the Freeport bank, for example, and your cash would be in the bank there as well (only on that character though of course...you don't share banks across different characters).

If the issue is that you died and can't get to your corpse because you're kill on sight in Neriak then you have a couple options. Someone can drag your corpse to a safer area of the zone (I could create a dark elf, or run there on my main character, and do this for you at some point if you want) so that you can loot it or you could create a dark elf yourself and I think you can type /consent [that character name] on the char whose corpse you need dragged, then go re-log into the dark elf char, and drag it that way.

I didn't die and it's not on a corpse. I am not that stupid lol. It's in the bank but, I don't have a toon that's strong enough to go in there and get it. I'd like to give it to main druid/halfling main. The only way to do that is to trust another player with it which, no offense, I'm not exactly fond of doing. However, if someone could help me achieve this I'd be more than happy to pay them 10pp for their hassle and from what I have gathered doing this is a pretty big hassle

To those saying that I'm having a fit cause the game is too hard: I played UO before pvp was optional So, no the game isn't too hard. Nice try trying to shame me for havi g a life and being unable to dedicate my life to this game.

As I said I love this game. I couldn't play it when it came out because of some personal-family-financial issues. I was poor back in those days. I had to share the UO account with a friend of mine back in the day.

I've totally stopped playing wow because of this game.i even tried EQ live and it's a total shitshow. I lasted maybe 15 minutes before I got back on here.

Glad you've calmed down a bit :).
Starting out new in EQ can be daunting there is a slight learning curve. Many people playing have 20 years of experience so they may be short tempered to things like this (the vast minority mind you).

When looking for help you should ask if anyone can help you as your just starting and haven't played before as they may be more forgiving.
A Lot of the time there are low level players but not new players to the game just looking for a hand out not real help or advice and that can wear some peoples patience thin.

I have had a majority of cool people help me out, give me gear, port me for free, buffs, and help me through rough areas. I try to help others when I can. I am sorry you had such bad experiences. I love this community, I feel like we are a bunch of dads unplugging from adulting for a bit when I hop in.

I'm just gonna come out and say it. You're bad and you should feel bad.

It's nearly fucking trivial to fetch plat out of the bank in neriak and get it transferred to a new character. You don't need to be higher than level 1. You don't need to dedicate your life to the game. You just have to be even a little thoughtful (to figure it out for yourself) or polite (to ask for and receive helpful advice). You don't even need to trust another player, and doing so would cost you even less of your 60pp or whatever than a 10pp payment would to boot.

But you are not being a little thoughtful OR polite. You're being stupid, carrying on and on about how awesome you are and how it couldn't possibly be your fault that you can't figure out a little ingame issue that everyone else here knows how to deal with with ease, and making up excuses that are combined with ad hominems to rationalize your failure, etc. I mean, cd288 gave you legit advice based on the limited information you've provided, but you basically spit in his face rather than doing things like a well-adjusted social creature would and elaborating on your situation while nicely asking for assistance figuring things out.

I’m surprised how tame most of these responses are to this temper tantrum.

I was expecting more as well. Tecmos is handling it for everyone.

Let me be the first to shame you for making a giant post blaming everyone else for your own mistakes and misunderstandings around game mechanics which none of us invented. Who cares if you’re a newb, welcome aboard, but take some of your own advice and be an adult too.

Edit. I read the rest of this page. Thank god TD is on it lol. I can’t even right now ��
