I founded a Dial A Port awhile back and Supremacydru took over shortly after since I take frequent breaks. That dude is one of the most helpful people I've met on this server. Never thought I'd hear people try to spin on a porting guild. Make it sound like it's a pyramid scheme and he gets a cut lol. Anyways, awesome how big they've gotten. Suprem has done a fantasic job leading. Just like any guild, there will be assholes. If you come across an issue, take it up with Supremacydru or myself.

I seriously just wanted to say my post was in fun, I thought the sarcasm would have been quite transparent but I guess I can see how it could be seen as an accusation...

I have always had good deals with DaP, have never had one person request plat, and they have always responded to every tell I have sent. I am even looking at putting my druid in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've never had a bad interaction with these people. And they were nails getting people to and from Vox the other day.

My main is a druid and has never and will never be a part of dial-a-port. But I approve of what they do, it's their time and if they want to provide a service for others, that's great. I use them often when I'm not on my druid. I too have no problems getting ports if I'm bored enough to want to do so, even with /role or /anon on people still seem to be able to find me.

So thanks Dial-a-port for using you're time to provide the server with a much needed service.

DAP ruined my port business, but its free market...so I don't really care. I decided to stop spamming /ooc and /auction and let whomever needs a port msg me. Furthermore, they shouldn't be disbanded because of people thinking its "not classic." It may have not been classic on the server(s) you played on, but it may have been on another. Stop QQing about your lack of income because of smarter people with common goal.

It's only not classic because no one thought of the idea lol. I would imagine somewhere on a server there was something similar.

When they added chat channels (forget the expansion, post cIassic I think, Luclin maybe?) one of the first channels that appeared on Tunare server was specifically for requesting ports. (It might have been called "taxi", can't recall for certain.)

I have a reputation as a bit of a "good guy druid" when it comes to porting people and helping strangers out. I joined DAP about two months before I disappeared as I intended to retire Leth.

The only rule as far as charity ports involved not advertising it in your hotkey. I still port people regardless of whether they pay or not. I simply took the "donations accepted but never required" out of my seas of cheese hotkey.

I promise though, you can make bank regardless if what guild you're in. All about customer service and marketing ladies and gents. Have fun.

You can make a ton if you do transfer for people, too. I.e. move items from EC tunnel mule to a twink in Misty.
