Default I just stiffed a dial a Porter, oops

Hey, this goes out to the druid whose name that started with a D (I think) and was lvl 51 or 52. You picked me up in misty and ported me to Gd. I'm super sorry, I wasn't even thinking and just ran off after the port and totally stiffed you. I owe you a tip when I get back home and can log in. Hopefully I'll remember your name and can track you down... Terribly sorry.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.

Don't feel bad. They have a monopoly on porting and use it to influence the free market in their favor, not ours.

They should be broken up really.

I once tried to use another porter. I wanted a port from BB to WC and arranged a pick up at the druid rings. When I got there the druid that came to get me was laying dead in a nearby ditch and a DaP druid was there instead. He said if I ever tried again to use another porter the other druid would have some company.

When leveling my Druid up on live back in the day, I thought I'd get in on this lucrative porting market.

After doing it on and off for about a week, I just went back to leveling and probably made the same or more money that way. It wasn't the goldmine I thought it would be, but the grass always looks greener on the other side. I guess its an ok way of making cash inbetween household chores or when you don't have the time to commit to a group (and on occasion you'd get a tell offering you 200pp for a port, but that was rare). But it wasn't my thing really.

When KEI was a thing, I half had it in my mind to level up an Enchanter and sit in PoK all day, but that thought lasted all of 5 seconds and I remembered that thing about the grass. You did read what I said earlier about grass didn't you? No you didn't. You just skipped through this and now you're going to pick one thing out the one thing you did read and respond to it but I've already addressed it. Why do I even bother
