Dial a port is bad for server health.

We really don't condone PUI. But if it floats your boat =)

Away from EQ like 7 years and I'm pretty interested into getting back to a classics server.
Started a new char and was told DAP would could help.

Got a free port to kelethin and got offered couples of PPs to start with, nice guy, forgot his name sorry

I'm happy to hear you got a port and some plat tossed your way. Also welcome to the server.

So, I just literally randomly /tell druids that can TP me or bind me.
99% have done it for free and without hesitation.

Most people on project 99 are very friendly and helpful.

My issue with Dial A Port is encountering them while they are exping. It should be no surprise that this kind of guild attracts some of the stupidest players in the game. Porting around people instead of exping at money camps says it all. I have encountered some of their members killing the gnolls at split paw for their scrolls to exp off of.... At level 45.... Thereby depriving lower level players the exp from killing gnolls. I have seen their Druids root rotting mobs that normal Druids and wizards quad. I have met a few members from the guild that are competent players but the vast majority of them are slow adults.

So let me get this straight, being a service and porting people for money instead camping places like everyone else is stupid? Then you say you see others camping gnolls and want to bitch about that? That's sort of a double negative isn't it? Kinda damned if they do, damned if they don't. You my friend need help. That or take your sorry ass to red and never come back.

I don't even know where to begin with you. You must be another one of these slow adults. It may come as a shock to you, but there are much faster ways to gain plat than porting people around for scraps. Reading comprehension would go a long ways towards making you not come across as a slope-browed mouth breather. I think it is you who need the help, of the ESL variety. =)

I guess you never played a root dotting class or you just failed at it.
Root dotting is a very relaxing way of exping and you can focus on other stuff while playing at the same time.
You be surprised how many raiding guild alts are in DaP, they probably use DaP as a down time guild to relax between the raiding days.

Now THERE is an endorsement ^^

Lol is it even possible for one to fail at root rotting something? When I see someone root rot mobs that are typically quadded by that same class (and thereby not even keeping the whole camp down) I just cringe. If they want to root rot mobs, again, there are better options out there.

You know there is more than one way to play a class. I mean, if want to take out my animation, drop a Boon of the Garou and Haste, Berserker Strength and Rune # on myself, then go to town stun locking greens with my incandescent wand because it makes me feel more like a tank, what's wrong with that?

this is the whole server. people in CoM until their low 50s? people in KC into their high 50s at camps like LCY?

it's just how it is around here. this has nothing to do with DaP. most of the server is straight up risk averse. and to be fair, this is how it was on live too.
