I am a new player on P99. Started about a week ago. I dont see a need to hand out stuff to people. My druid felnok and enchanter tersoth are both level 7 and I have grinded out a few hundred plat by selling furs and silks to buy a couple lowbie items. I have had fun doing it. The challenge of the game is what makes it. You start handing out gear to people who just want to fly by the game you will not keep them long. Once their level catches up to the twink gear and the challenge is suddenly back most with that mentality will leave anyways. That's just my newbie opinion

This, except about a month ago. You don't really need to group or have plat to be a newbie. After just a few weeks, I sold enough furs and used tailoring skill to make enough plat to buy a weapon and armour that are probably above my level's need. The community has been nothing but helpful from my POV. I don't go asking for help, but some people are willing, and it's appreciated.
