[Messianic]

You'll find you value the character a lot more if you level and gain gear the hard way.

Occasionally, I get noobs asking me for free stuff - be it a few plat or bags - and I always say no. Not because I'm stingy, or because i'm self-righteous about having built nearly everything I have on my own - I just won't deny them the best experience you ever have in EQ - building yourself from scratch.

Occasionally i've given noobs things when it was unsolicited, but that's because I saw something in them that I thought was good for the server, i.e. a good attitude - but i'm very careful not to ruin the worthwhile experience of progression.
