there are plenty of free ports and rezzes on this server. actually, there are a lot more here than i remember there being on live during classic.
yes, if you must have the port NOW expect to be charged an arm and a leg. If you are happy to hang out for 30 minutes working fishing or sense heading, you will find a free port before too long. same for rezzes.
it also goes a long way to send tells to people rather than shout. it also helps to walk up to them and hail before sending a tell, this way they know you aren't going to make them wait forever to find you.
personally, at low levels running around is part of the game imo. you really don't need to travel "far" until you get to around 30, by which time scrounging 10pp for a port rlly becomes trivial.
i think part of the anxiety people have now is that "travel" and "hang-out" time are no longer considered part of the game by many players. It might be the WoW-spoiler thing, it might just a different age in gaming, who knows. Back in the day though, hanging out for 40 minutes to put a grp together and 20 minutes running and 10 minutes waiting for the boat was considered "playing." Hardly anybody got into pissy fits because they couldn't find a port for their lvl 15 character.
