Pet Stealing

It's been 24 hours and my drag that has been stolen is still taking up slots. Obviously I'm not buying it back, and they clearly aren't going to let me release it. This is just more of a nuisance at this point. This system is broken. Where does it stop? Why do I not have the ability to release my pets at any point, from anywhere I please?

I heard about people in VANQ doing this to some guy recently. Trapped his pet for several hours then killed it before it went wild so it would be a ghost pet for another 24 hours. Laughing at the guy locking his follower slots up for over 30 hours. It is unfortunate there are people in VANQ who don't really have fun unless they are ruining the game for someone else. Sadly there are some in the guild who are not respected by anyone on the shard(even their own guildmates :( ) so they have to grief newer players to feel relevant. I think it would be smart to make it so you can release all pets from anywhere in the world. Do something with metas so their egg drops where they are released from. I just don't see any good reason to lock out another player's ability to play a character effectively for over 30 hours for no other reason than to grief them. it seems excessive.

Why grief some noob? You fuck with some pirate who is just trying to play and act tough. Why not grief me? Why not grief werkt? It's because you can't. You are relegated to harassing players too new or too poor to know any better and it's pathetic.

Cost of pet ball doesn't really matter. 1500 dono x 2 pets is still well over 500k. A lot of newer players can't afford that. If your pet is worth much to you then yes you should absolutely save and buy a pet ball. The issue here is people having their follower limit locked up for 30+ hours making the game nearly unplayable for their tamer until the pets finally decay. No mistake should make a player log off for 30 hours. Remember we are talking about younger players here. They are more likely to leave if they are griefed like this. I would like to see griefing done mostly between veteran or established players who have thicker skin. Let the young ones grow and when they're big enough then grief away.

Reds choose to be red. Choose to kill other players. Their statloss is deserved. I don't know what it is you get out of griefing new players. I would think that if you are like me, still playing this game 20 years later, it must be a special game to you. It's hard bringing new players to UO so when someone does try UO for the first time, or they do come back from a long hiatus and join UOF, why would you want to ruin their fun and hurt their chances of staying? You have to look at the big picture, girana.

it not ruin their fun its just adding some difficulty to it.

if there is no difficulty and everything just get handed over to all nobody would play too.


98% of all pets we steal are from super rich vets like you or your guildmates.

the other 2% get their pets cheap or even free back but some ppl are soo rude that they deserve to suffer.

Nah, simply not true. You will target anyone you can. Sorry girana you are trying way too hard to spin this but the truth is in my posts. Adding difficulty is just killing them and taking their loot. Locking out their ability to play for 30+ hours is too much. No matter how you try to spin it you are just wrong about this.

It’s a persisting problem, AVL. Nobody is forcing or requesting your participation in this thread. I believe problems should be confronted and corrected. Kicking the can down the road won’t solve anything.
