If I'm not being ported for purposes of a guild event, I usually try to make it a point to offer to pay. I try not to take favors from my guildies for granted. They usually refuse the payment, but if they don't, they still deserve it

Pretty much this. At least offer. I always deny payment when it's a guildie, but it's kind of rude when a guildie in a "chatroom" guild just runs off with a "thx."

I pay double to guildies or in game friends that port me unless they refuse it. RL friends? They get nothin!

Guys I'm new here and just excited to see this conversation. One of the cornerstones to classic EQ to me was the need for ports (once that went away it ruined it all for me). The value of fast travel and the consequences of not having it make every journey somewhat exciting. I've been on proj99 for a little over a month and have already had a few interesting conversations with people while waiting for a boat. :P

Tipping for ports is the reciprocal value of the transportation.

Guildies help each other, but ports are usually seen as free.

Why does the "favor" always fall on the service-provider?

Why is it the norm that guildies don't tip if we're all helping each other?
