    Default Very nice idea, gratz!

    I logged on last night and saw someone with an LFM up who was helping new players. It said something like: "if you are new to DDO, hop in group and ask any questions you have." Anyway, I thought it was a wonderful idea and I want to send out my congratulations to the person who was doing it.

    I hope you helped a number of new players feel welcome and excited about the game.

    Sometimes when I'm bored, I look for lowbie Bards who aren't in guilds and ask them if they are new, if they need any advice, equipment, money, send them a Muckbane, that sort of thing. I hadn't thought of doing it through an LFM. It's nice to see the people on Sarlona being good citizens.

    Ditto that. I saw Assio<sp?> with an LFM doing that last night. Great idea.

    I've been running around looking for new to the game Lvl 1-2 Rangers to give some of my old bows to.

    I saw that too. But knowing the player, should he be the one giving guidance? (jk of course, he's a guildy) I think he just wanted to PvP them.

    I've been getting a bit bored myself, maybe I should do a dedicated time period per week also. Any takers to anyone else doing it?

    Knowing Assio he`s probably looking to build a follower base and tithe them for 15% of their weekly income!

    I guess that depends on how you look at it.

    I also want to give a big thumbs up for this!

    Remember to teach them all the proper etiquette too, such as paying 10% of their income to their guild leaders each week...

    =)
    Devs: Thanks for making Druids available to VIPs without the pack. This more than anything, has made me want to buy the pack.

    Default Lowriders

    New players looking for individual assistance with character building along with learning guild tactics, cohesion, sustainability and leadership. A mix of old and new players alike, where the new come to learn and the old stay to teach. It is the guild equivalent of this altruistic LFM.

    I agree, the LFM and the guild are a great idea! I recently deleted some toons and opened up some character slots, so I am willing to help on occasion as well.

    I also think it is a great idea. A friend in RL stumbled upon that group and was quite pleased with his experience.

    I am happy to help. I will take the 9 PM to 11 PM Eastern time slot on Wednesday, April 23.
