Porting Fare?

[Ravager]

If I don't have a ruby on me to pay for a port, I just run.

if you haven't the plat, only items, always give them something worth the trouble since selling items can be a bother(unless it commonly vendors for 60+ plat)

EDIT: This is from a pretty well established character; as always, pay what you can, people are more understanding that you can fathom, and often very welcoming to new players

pretty much this. I generally do 50p a port. So if I'm going to Seb from WC and I do DL + Evac I generally pay 150 cause I consider the run from rings or spires to kc a "port" since it is time consuming. The 1pp per lvl is a fair gauge though I think.

1pp per level

[maurilax]

30p + c2 on enchater.

50p on cleric

I always use /split and love when they think i didnt tip

It all depends on the level, the players attitude, time of day and where they want to go. There really isn't a standard as there are to many factors.

If I am on a toon with lev and SoW and its on the same continent, I just run there. If I'm on another toon, or I need to go to a different continent, then I usually tip 30p. Mind you, I am at the ring waiting for them to arrive, and all they need to do is click a spell twice.

If they go above and beyond, or they someone make it special in someway, I'll tip 40 or 50. If I ask them to travel away from a ring (which i never do), then i'd tip much more.

Expecting 100p just for porting from druid ring to druid ring is silly.

Making a comparison between farming HG's and clicking a spell twice is just plain gibberish.

Back when I was a noob, I usually paid anywhere from 25-40pp... generally without requesting pickups.

When I got money, I started paying at least 60, 80-120 for pickups.

When I retired from playing on P99, the few times I log in to screw around, I tip in blue diamonds / high lvl gems, 500-600 pp, whatever is lying around.

As a returning player from live who didn't really know anyone, I struggled to pay that 1pp per level until about level 40. But I always made sure if I didn't have it, then I told the porter in advance. I also never contacted DAP unless I could easily cover that. A few times where I was really broke, I'd just take the boat.

It should be noted that as a newbie to P99, the community couldn't be more welcoming and accepting of _another_noob_00 joining the server, and that includes ports. No one's ever complained abut me being broke or changed their minds and didn't port me after telling them I'm broke. I've even had porters inspect me and give me gear!

The first time I heard about DAP, I imagined a guild full of dipshit dr00ds gouging everyone on the server, but that's not the case. Yeah, they make a lot of plat, but half of that is because they're so cool and professional. I try to pay them 2pp per level and still feel like I'm underpaying them.

100-200p if you pick me up somewhere or run to a dungeon to evac me, or just going out of their way in general to help me.

~50p or less if you're just sitting at tunnel where you're bound advertising port service.

Seems fair to me, nobody has ever complained....yet!

The way this poll is worded seems backwards to me. The top three options read as if the player is under level 50, and the bottom three as over 50, but I believe that most of the level 50 and greater players are responding using the top three.

I.e. if we flip them, it reads Player<50 (player less than 50) for the top 3, and Player>50 (player greater than 50) for the bottom 3.
