I always try to help new players to the game, usually on a daily basis... I hang around in global chat and buff them when they come in, answer their many faceted questions, send them helpful links that I've accumulated through the years, and offer my friendship and guidance for the future... In the past 7 years, I have made many many friends in this way, and for me, that is all the reward that I require... IDK about you others...
