I logged on in Camp Rankor and I announced it was my birthday. This guy (I won't say his name so others don't whisper him for free gifts) asked how old I was, and I said I was 17. He wanted to trade with me and gave me 17k gold!! I thought that was really cool considering a lot of people in this game don't want to help you at all and this guy gave me 17k just because he's nice.

Really? Damn. I guess some people actually are nice in Guild Wars.

I subscribe to the hobbit tradition of birthdays. You should give us all a gift.

This is an important lesson worthy of great bumpage! There are good people in this game and they are around to be found. Rock on and happy birthday!

I did something similar earlier this week. I have a couple of level 16+ characters that have an abundance of cash. Two characters are PVE Monks that are unlockers for my PvP character. I stay out of the fray and never bothered to buy the best armor for them.

I was in post-sear Ascalong bringing up a new ranger and partnered up with someone very new to the game (he seemed quite young too). My wife happened to be standing behind me and said "You should help him out a bit". So I helped him get money and stuff to get the good armor from Ascalon and gave him a good hammer. 6,000 gold, 6 fur squards and lots of iron/wood he was all set.

In the end, the 6k gold and iron really didn't matter. The fur is a bit tougher to come by, but none of my monks need it.

I think everyone should help at least one person. Sometimes it'll spur that person to help someone new later on... sometimes not

I'm always helping other new players. Sometimes, I also invite them to my guild but not always, so it's not like it's a "guild recruitment tactic" for me.

Yeah, if I'm in an older area and someone needs something that's not worth so much to me, it's theirs free of charge. I keep hoping that kind of behavior will encourage the same.

Lews · May 30, 2005, 10:02 PM // 22:02

If I'm bore dI take my level 20 monk to the first levels to help.

Rahne Sinclaire · May 30, 2005, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Happy Birthday! And... lucky! I wonder if someone will do that for me on my birthday? I can only hope! (August 15th is the date, hint hint.

)
If I ever become one o' those people who has lots of money, I'd probably do the same. I used to do similar in FFXI... well, I gave any newb who was polite to me some starting funds and my help.
