Fellow new player here. I sat in EC for a few hours hoping for some handouts and I can say, forget it on Green server. Not only does no one seem to care much about the plight of noobs, but the server economy seems pretty inflated compared to Blue. Not only did no one offer any low level gear while I was in EC, no one would even bother tossing a buff on me, not even when I was fighting mobs right in front of them at the tunnel
One time a nice rogue came over and bandaged me as I was bleeding dying from rattlesnake poison. Thank God for that, because I was bound in greater faydark lol. I was just killing mobs in EC waiting to see if someone was going to do a giveaway to noobs, and I certainly wasn’t going to beg for items. After a while I just gave up
Green server seems ultra competitive. People play a lot, and I think they assume that a lot of the noobs they are seeing won’t stick around. Maybe it’s from experience, I dunno
I never got any help, so I had to do everything myself. I was able to save up and buy 30pp worth of higher level spells I’d need from Highkeep in advance (because the run there sucks) by concentrating farming low blue con mobs to deliberately stretch out the level and allow me to make more plat. In particular in gfaydark there is a wasp which has a good chance to drop venom sacs which vendor for 3g apiece. That and vendoring cloth armor drops were the best way I could make money. Right off the bat as soon as you get some money, invest in a bunch of backpacks or large boxes to carry more stuff to vendor
No one wants your crushbone belts and no one gives a crap about your bonechips. That’s been my experience on Green server. So vendoring items becomes your best bet. Get in the mindset of not relying on other players for anything

You could not be more wrong. I've made hundreds off CB Belts before hitting lvl 12 specifically because people want to use them to power through levels 5-12ish. I'm talking like 300p between levels 5 and 10 if you manage to get lucky on the drops or have a camp to yourself/a group that doesn't want them.
And bone chips.. name one high level necromancer that has time to be farming his own bone chips.
As far as people "not caring of the plight of the noob"....That's specific to green and only because green server and the bulk of it's population is still new. People don't have mountains of loot that nobody has use for . On blue that's a different story. Even after playing for 5+ years I couldn't make a new character without having a bunch of free gear handed to me before level 15. So if you want free loot for an easier experience, maybe blue is for you? But wait, you're the same guy in the other thread boasting about how much he loves dark souls (lol) and the challenge posed by EQ.. Then in here tlaking about how P99 isn't like live TLP? Do you realize how contradictory this all seems?
