If someone in my own guild would charge me for ressing me, i would kick
them out of the guild.
would not do it coz it could lead to misuse by people who might just have an unrelated with somone

. I personally do not want to be tarred with the "griefer" brush

Hmmm roleplaying as a mercenary.....
Sounds familiar, can't think which guild THAT would be....! I wonder if that person was a member of this guild?
I think the time is getting close when I will start checking which guild someone is in before I hit my heal key. Sad state of affairs that....

I will heal anyone no matter which guild in non pvp areas. But if I know someone that has been charging for a res I will stand over their corpse and wave.

20 is ridiculous, but a cursory charge to improve RP without crippling or unduly inconveniencing anyone sounds reasonable.

Free rez for all! Free rez for all!
Just like to say, if anyone needs a rez, and i'm in the region, and you're not covered in 30 agro mobs, give me a shout on region chat!
I'm RP'ign as a paramedic at the mo. No blue flashing light or siren though. Shame.

Its about service ... National Health is free to all, private means you get it quicker.
An equivelent in Ryzom would be .....
free rez if less than 250m away = National health.
rez if within 300m of any ingame teleport = Private health care.
In the Ghosts its common practice to port to a dead member and rez if they shout on the guild channel. I guess we just have a great 'Company Health Care Plan' which comes as part of working together.

Heh, consider this though, in game charging is a fun way to keep the economy going. We had quite a tongue in cheek conversation in Matis a few weeks ago about charging for escorting people through Gingo heavy areas.
This as well as charging for Res is just some of the things a proper RPing merc could do. Just because someone is RPing a merc doesnt mean they are inherantly 'evil', they just have a more capitalist take on the world.

I can't however get my head around the fact that people are now asking for 20k to res others. If I find a case of this I usually try and get to the person who is dead and res them for free just to deny the person charging.
I had one simpleton find me, stand over my body and demand 20 to res me. I think this is the silliest thing I have heard in a good while and I kindly told him where to go. why oh why do idiots like that insist on trying to profit from others misfortune, this game is set up not as a competitive game (although it might be going that way) but as a team effort to reclaim atys.
Look at the events they cant be done solo by anyone player and they community as a whole would benefit from more high lvl players to progress the story a little. We need to work together bringing people up to lvl which they benefit the community not stand over their bodies and laugh while their timer goes down.
anyways the one good thing to come out of the story was the idiot did not realize I had died on a baying grigo spawn and got chased and killed by 3 of them

...............he didnt bother calling for a res.
LOL nice one hound!!! What coms around gows around

I would never ask monny 4 a rez NEVER!

Trouble with that arguement is they will be charging and getting the same service for free. As most people in the Ryzom community are generally more helpful than that. The word 'parasite' springs to mind, hmm I wonder why that is.
