Powie Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 A few years back, a few friends of mine on Neo would start this RAoK thing, which stands for Random Acts of Kindness. We would post whatever nice things people did back then, and it was quite cool. It's quite rare to see it happen now on Neo, but just today while I was browsing the boards, someone gave away 25 million NPs...for free. Yep, that's right! Free. I was lucky enough to be able to be one of the posters on the board and got 1m for free, so, that was the RAoK that I got today. What was your RAoK experience on Neo lately? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alynniae Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 wow, 1M np is really much! but, ehh.... yeah, i've got one a few months ago, there was somebody who was leaving, and he gave me a lost desert PB :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicsquared Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Someone was giving away a Faerie Cybunny MP on the boards; I was chatting on the board and randomly started talking about how I wish I could paint my Aisha speckled again but didn't want to spend more NP, and he sent me a speckled PB! Too bad I didn't say Pirate LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samaroo Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I had someone donate their Fire Blumaroo fto my lending program just a few days ago. I have also had many offers for other avvie pets, but unfortunately I don't have room for them D; I prefer to be on the giving side of RAoK, than the receiving end. ^^; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabbyGirl Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Ah! I try to live my life helping others. One of my favorite sayings is "Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out" - Frank A. Clark. The other day on the boards I happened across a wonderful user who was lending their FQD for free. I still needed the avatar and I neomailed her offering full collateral but instead she just sent me the item and asked me to be fairly quick. It's been quite some time since I have encountered that on Neopets. Made my day ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renari Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Wow, you guys are really lucky. I've been on and off Neopets for over 7 years now, but I haven't been on the receiving end of kindness yet. :( Hopefully once I start getting some income I'll be able to give gifts out again.

Xepha Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 ROAK friday still happens on Charter... for posting on the board, you usually get a few cheap items. People also spare their votes and do other kind gestures. :) I have never received anything big from taking part in ROAK friday, but it's still nice to send a bunch of gifts to other players. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I live on chocolate Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 It's amazing how many users are so kindhearted and yet there are still those who take advantage of people's generosity for their own benefit. The spectrum is very wide. I've never received anything from a stranger though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adieablaze Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Aw that's really nice of you all! I've never received anything like that. Oh well... But hopefully when I get what I'm saving up for and have money I can help people out. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The only time when strangers have sent anything to me was when I won the Neoadventure Spotlight (mind you, I got a lot of junk items, but I was too polite to refuse them). I also got sent a Small Giant Squid and Titanic Squid about ten weeks after The Squid Farm was published (they're still sitting in my SDB actually :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I've tried over the years to be kind to people...at least, I like to think so. I've never just outright given anyone a million np or a paint brush, though. Actually, wait, I think I did give someone a paint brush once last year. It must have been a cheap one. But I have lent people full np for Muhaha, I've given people free stuff although usually not above 100k, I tried to lend out FQD for free about four years ago or so, but the very first person who borrowed stole it. It's hard to do random acts of kindness sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiranui_xiii Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I was trying to complete a Fairy Quest, so I went to the board and asked how much does a Blue Wocky Costume cost/from which user shops I can buy it from. Not even a minute later, a stranger sent me a Blue Wocky Costume. It made my day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowwhite Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I've never really received a RAOK but this is definitely something I will start doing soon! It's so nice to make someone's day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keladry Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Last year, before TFR I was trying to buy a Faerie PB for my pteri but the OB was about 5 mil. I found someone selling the Faerie pteri MP for 4 mil though. I mailed them, and since it took them a week to reply they knocked off 1mil and sold it to me for 3mil. That's the biggest kindness I've gotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Last time I received a gift from someone was about two years ago and it was a Cybunny Transmogrification Potion which I placed in my gallery. Then I became broke and am ashamed to say I sold it along with everything else in my gallery. Now I am back to being broke again and trying to get those stupid new map pieces.

I had a Fyora quest once, and she was requesting for a bucket/sandcastle item, so I posted on the Faerie Help board and I got sent the item :) apparently it only costed something like 50NP.

Nika Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It's always nice when people send you the faerie quest item you need--I've had that happen a couple of times and it's super cool. This morning when I bought the Forgotten Shore map from a player on the trading post, it was advertised as a full map, but when I got it, I realized it was only 8 pieces! Just as I was about to NM the player, she gifted me the other piece and explained the mistake. Not so much random kindness as another honest player, but I still thought it was awesome.

Hey, hey, it was still kind of her. =p I wonder how many players scam others by advertising maps as a full map but leave out one of the pieces by "accident." It's good to know there's still a lot of honest players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowwhite Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I read a neoboard yesterday from a neopian who had been gifted a 1M np item that was on her wishlist from a random person. Everyone suggested she reject it, and she did. I was of the opinion that it may have just been a RAOK...what do you think she should have done?

queensorchadragon Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I think she should have neomailed the guy about it at least, and asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'd definitely neomail. It's an unfortunate fact, however, that TNT has a history of freezing people for being even tangentially related to scammers/people they think are scammers. I've heard of innocent players being frozen just for being in contact with scammers, so even though it's probably just a REALLY nice person, I'd at least think it over first. I'm not as suspicious of other players as I am of TNT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetdang Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Wow, there are nice people in this world! :D Nothing to me, but my sister was just talking to someone, and mentioned avatars, plus the ones she didn;t have. THe person sent her dung items and codestones straight away, and told her to return them when she was done. Wowwhee! EDIT: Well, it's been some days later, as you can tell. And I take back the nothing to me bit... today, and yesterday, three TDNF users - namely Kaanana, Shiny Magnezone and Xepha - gave me a 5 dubloon coin that I was asking who would sell to me. Thanks, guys <3 Edited September 17, 2011 by Sweetdang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
