The generosity of strangers...

[TheMizardofAhhhs]

Hey,

I'm relatively new to DDO. About a month ago on my first toon (at the time, a lvl 8 pally), I was in a party facing a golem and asked "what's the best weapon to kill a golem?"

A higher level member in the party asked a few polite questions like "how long have you been playing?" and "do you have any rare items?". Anyway, long story short... he handed me a Mace of Smiting (+1 smiter, adamantine).

I didn't realized what a great gesture this was at the time. Now I'm a level 12 and realize that it was really, really kind of that guy to offer me this weapon.

I've since taken to doing the same to strangers.

So, I wanted to say 'thanks' to whoever-that-was.... and wondered if anyone else has been really helped out by a total stranger...?

First, welcome to the game.
Second, it wasn't me. But I know about 20 players that would fit that description.
Third, I am glad you met a generous soul rather than me.

I am, Rameses!

I am, Scrooge!

In all seriousness, that how this server rolls

I'd say I miss you, but I am getting the same abuse from you here in the forums as I'd get if I was in game.

I am, Rameses!

Yes, but at least here you don't have to... *shudders*

It's nice to hear that Taigo. I was helped out quite a bit when I was just starting out in this game, and it's good to see that the trend continues.

Welcome!

it wasnt me but i know lots of friendly players that do this all the time. argo is the best server in the game without a doubt.

[KoboldKiller]

I would have to agree that Argo is the most helpful server (I have been on others and deleted all of my characters there). Wasn't me either but there are plenty of generous players in Argo. Welcome to the game.

[Wingofbenu]

yeah, a lot of the older players I notice are tremendously nice to us newbies.

I just started this week, finally after 2 days of trying stuff decided on elfy Barbarian, and only a few scant hours into lvling, at lvl 2, one of the guys I was doing waterworks with (god that place is fun. ), handed me a +2 Greataxe. its been my weapon ever since because I havent found a single thing that can even come close to replacing it.

Hope I can be as helpful to other people when I gain some more levels.

When I was new to this server I ran with a TF who gave me 2 very nice dwarven axes (+3 flaming and +2 frost burst) and 10K plat. And the cleric in our party gave me a pair of Featherfall boots. Real ones, not clickies!

There are some very awesome people on Argo

I had kind of the same thing happen. I was talking to someone randomly, he showed of his new mace, which looked cool. The he gave me a breath underwater item. Just out of no where. It was sweet Thanks Lhang on the Thelanis ( SP ) Server.
