So I read the whole topic, and I think it got just a tiny bit sidetracked. Thank you very much to those who mentioned me as Neefin or Yawgmoth. I didn't know this topic existed until now.
I wish I could add some names, but I am really, really bad with names. I'm serious, I can talk to someone in tells for an hour then crash and not remember their name when I get back. Plus, when I meet a stranger, I'm generally the person offering to help. =)

being nice on this box is a thankless job. I think I probably outdid anyone on this server as far as going out of my way to help people and I didn't get a single mention here. That being said it was the most rewarding time I spent on the box.

I'm sure you're a nice person, but there's virtually no chance you have outdone everyone on Red in terms of kindness and charitable actions. My RL friend Riley is the only person who has any idea what I do on P99 and he only knows a portion.
I greatly appreciate your efforts, and the efforts of everyone else, in helping those less fortunate, but if you are after praise or a thankful job, you picked the wrong road to travel.
65 hours a week for 6 months is quite an admirable effort, however, you don't seem to genuinely enjoy helping people. Without that, you'll drive yourself nuts.
I fucking LOVE helping people, it's my favorite part of EQ and has been since I played on Live. Since Kunark opened I have spent at least 75-90% of my time helping people. I've geared hundreds of people who quit within weeks, given every researched spell to necros that don't remember me a few weeks later. I spend 4-5 hours of every day I play checking vendors around the world for research components and gear to help people I've never met and aside from when Yawg is broke from buying words and I accept donated peridots, I won't take any form of payment. The act of helping is my reward, and I enjoy it immensely.
I have no affiliations, never been guilded, so I'm not out to help a specific group. I will help anyone who asks me for help, and tons I just see in ooc needing help, and you don't even have to thank me. Hell, I've helped out several people mentioned in this topic (The ones I can remember anyway).
I said none of that for praise, or out of ego, but because it's the truth. I don't give a shit if you dislike me, I will still help you. Some people have to help others publicly so they are seen helping, but I'm not like that. It's damn near a compulsion for me, I HAVE to help if I can or it fucks with me. I wholeheartedly believe that if you have the ability to help others, then you have a responsibility to do so.
TL;DR - If you help people, thank you. I appreciate and am grateful for your efforts. If you do more to help others than I do, see a doctor, a psychiatrist, a drug dealer or something and get some pills, some drugs, or something to help you. I have OCD and I hope you don't. =)
