Killing (young) players

The young player system really needs to be looked into in my opinion, it's supposed to be managed by companions. When a Young player is killed, all companions online are supposed to be alerted of the young players death and can use a gate option to teleport to them and avenge them. With no or little companions online, the current system fails to function properly.

Recruiting more companions will fix the issue just as much as changing the system would.

Recruiting Players that can actually fight back PKs and are not discouraged by possible grief-attempts are needed.

The problem with just recruiting companions is there is no incentive for them to do anything, the whole companion system is flawed. I don't blame any companions for not helping. Only one companion can port to any young. And the companion target... Sorry title, just makes them someone people want to kill.

Both the young system and the companions system need a lot of love. And for God's sake put in some sort of rewards for companions. (not a companion anymore so I can say this shit. :p )

I've volunteered as a companion a few times, I would fight people and I help new players 1 on 1 all day. Problem is, getting ahold of the companion recruiter is an impossible task.

I bet not many companions are willing to risk their lives and fighting against young char killers. And if there was brave companions, some bad boys would just keep killing more youngs cos it brings pvp lol.

So, I was watching @Lord Hampton Royce's stream today and got an interesting viewpoint from a person who does not play UOForever and probably won't now...

So, @Lord Hampton Royce poisoned a (young) player's pack horse on his stream but (Thankfully) did not kill it! He did the right thing and did not kill the (young) player's packy. Now, I will say that this guy talking in the twitch chat was an absolute asshole! BUT, if an absolute asshole decides not to play on UOForever because people are griefing (young) player's pack horses.... What are the kind of players that we DO want here on UOForever to think when they watch @Jeitarium's stream while he blatantly kills (young) players just because he can?

Need a fix...

You can't fix asshatness. No matter what you do, there will be people who grief young players. Either make it so youngs are invincible for a short of amount of time while they train, or atleast shorten the time they are young because right now it's nuts. PKs also use the companion system to grief companions. They make a new character, wait for the companion to come and then kill them, like 4 v 1. Not all compaions are PK gods. We're here because we want to help new players. Some of us are not pvpers. Not all new people will be big time pvpers. We need crafters, pvmers, rpers, because without them the pks have no targets. People crying about everyone being a red or its trammy are dumb and have no clue what it takes for a shard to survive.
I agree some type of conquest system for Companions with small token rewards may help keep them active.
While teleporting to a killed young and killing the pks is good, are you going to stay and actually help that new player by answering questions? We need a balance even with the Companion system. If someone is decent at pvp and also wants to help those new players, that would be a perfect fit.

My Companion is stun hide mage. Built to grief griefers.

The only problem is this: every time I have teleported to a young (not much because usually the only opportunity I have had to assist players is answering questions in the NEW guild chat) they have died to spawn and not PKs.

So, there's that.

Does anyone else find it funny that a person with the handle "cynical machine" was way too pessimistic about playing a UO server that has griefers?

It's UO. Lol.
