These forums are full of people discussing the negative aspects of our game. This thread is a place to share your story about how helpful our fellow gamers can be.

My story: My first char was a male newman techer, i focused on heals, buffs and debuffs. I started running with the same group of guys who were very appreciative of all the time i took away from getting exp to help the party as a whole.

Then Seabed came out and death, death, death to the techer. I sure love to debuff jarbas, but they don't take kindly to it.

One day the peeps were gathered in my room they said" here-ya go". Traded me a Sori-senba (in those days it was like the holy grail of techer armor).

They had all chipped in to get me a present, which has undoubtedly saved my newman ass many a time.

Thanks guys.

Please share with me a similar story?

WELL! just yesterday my two long time friends (i'll keep their names quiet until i ask them if its okay to brag about them ^_^) gave me their old ME/QUICK that i've been soloing and hunting for as my ALT for LIEK... EVAH.

I was moved VERY MUCH SO. I mean they could SELL a Me/Quick for like $$$ but they instead gave it to me - they called me their friend even though we technically haven't partied together in months ;_;

In fact they also in the past gave me a Granarod as soon as the board was released. They had synthed me one with their lvl 100 TECH PM while mine was still growing at like lvl 15 TECH and i was still using Hajirods. I remember breaking two hajirods during grinding and i needed a weapon. ^_^

AND they also gave my brother and me EASTER EGGS when the whole time we encountered those easter rappies and all they dropped were feathers ^_^ I still have my Easter Egg set up in my room. Its right there when i enter my shop so i can look at the rappy that pops out and reminds me of my two friends that i've never met in person nor heard their voice. But they call me friend.

I try to do the same to my friends too. I gave one friend a +5 grinded twin kitty claw for his fortefighter. I gave another some cash to buy a new armor. I help with friend's synths with materials i've collected. Its all good. Not as good as giving a rare unit or an S weapon but i do what i can.

A friend gave me the fireworks decos that I had been searching so hard for. I also missed 95% of fire break and another friend gave the the garment aura.

Yo, check this out.

When Mad Beast S2 first came out my friends and I ran that mission like crack-fiends trying to obtain the S ranks that lay there. Halarod, Ragnus, Sweet Death (I feel like I'm forgetting one..) you name it. We were there for that sole reason. The Sweet Death was the S rank I was after and nothing else. I ran that mission with my friends a lot and even solo'd it while working for the rare spawn.. Let me tell you, facing 10 Gol Dova's ain't pretty. I've must've slain at least 300 of those pig mofo's, but that Sweet Death just wouldn't drop.

Well, one day I log on with the full intention of returning to the good hunt, when suddenly my good friends Sion Karasu and omegafail1000pirate2000 stroll into my room and start a trade with me. "Here, noob." says Sion and I accept the trade, go to my inventory, then BOOM!! A fucking Sweet Death! Man, I must have yelled and screamed over the mic for at least 2 minutes.

Can you believe Sion sold his Halarod to get me a Sweet Death? If that ain't a good friend, then I don't know what one was is.

That was indeed a good moment.

not to nitpick but is nice synonymous with helpful? because giving things away is all well and good, but its not like these things were NEEDED...I call helpful offering a person advice, or showing them ways to improve their game...explaining aspects of the game itself...like why its not a good idea to run up on a jarbe with a can of gravity dance and bag of 31% fire hardline. I call helpful the fortegunners who cal out what their plan is for the upcoming enemies so the rest of the group knows what's about to happen and can support said plater to the best of their abaility, or know that he in fact DOESN'T need support..or something to that effect.

Nice is good too. I have friends who've given me weapons I've been hunting when they see how frustrated I'm getting after weeks of no luck. I often give friends of mine hand me downs of a synth that I have little use for, but I know they'll enjoy. I think both have their merrits but I don't think they're the same thing.

Hmm... well when my hajirods broke i need a weapon quick. So my friends synthed me a granarod just because i felt so bad and i was bummed. This was back when two-hundred thousand that i saved up was a FORTUNE and someone selling a meow mustache sold it for 2 million was insanity. Its that kind of kindness - a friend is in need and they delivered waaaayyyy beyond what was lost. A hajirod back then did not compare to a fresh shiny granarod.

If you want nice - how bout an entire team helping a lvl 35 lowbie newbie who wanted all kinds of information? Like... we all showed this one player everything we had to see what he liked and disliked. like for his TECHER i showed him all my lvl 21+ skills and their power and effectivness. I explained by SHOWING not telling how awesome GIZONDE and RABARTA really were. And the hunters showed off what the third combo in a weapon was for his fortefighter.

how bout when our friend was one of the first to be PM BOMBED and inventory cleaned out we all pitched in and gave armor, weaponry, money to live on, and encouragement. We said its okay its just a relic edge, its just some photons, you're our friend and we're for you.

Now this friend is all over PSO-world and PSU and is one of our longest friends who always drops everything to join us, to help us find rarez, to help level the lowbies in the team, and to talk to when there's Real Life Problems.

Kindness IS giving. Either your items, advice, friendship, partnership, a shoulder to cry on, and a friend that you can MSN or Email when you have other things going on.

well, i lost all my weapons (thread in cheaters ), so my friends helping me out in at least getting a decent WT pallet going on by donating weps was REALLY helpful. so instead of making 400k off a free majimra drop, my friend gave it to me instead. also helped me grind the new weps with his 3* luck that day. all of this work took about 2 or 3 hours, just searching in shops and grinding and everything.

recently the person who helped me get my frying pan in the first place (another item that was pulverized ;_ gave me one of hers!

me be so happee i crys ;_;

back to hunting bicos later

Well, i am more to help people then to actually get anything for it but i think someone felt to reward me.

One time i runned with a friend i now all day on HSM even though it served me no purpose ftm.
He got from hunter to Fortefighter job level 5 i think.

Somehow i think i got blessed at the end of the day, because it was the very day i got 40-50 succesful grinds in a row.
Now luck was on my side.

[jayster]

I dont think anyones ever been nice to me like that :| One time someone gave me a present with some par ebons in it..

[ljkkjlcm9]

my friends just went out of their way to get me Togeha! I love it soooo much I want to hold on to it and see if we get Famitsu and the increased synth rate! I'd die if it failed!

<3 Alura and Rena, thank you two soooo much!
