THERE NEEDS TO BE CONSEQUENCES AND IT SHOULD BE HARD TO BE A pk IT SEAMS LIKE SHANE GOT THE WORST THINGS ABOUT ea AND IMPLEMENTED THEM, THERE SHOULD BE pk'S BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME BALANCE AND PUNISHMENTS SHOULD BE HARSH FOR A REASON THERES NO REASON ANY NEW PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO PLAY AS RETURNING PLAYER IM SICK OF IT ALREADY YOU CANT GET UP ON THE FOOD CHANGE WHEN THERE'S A PK EVERY TIME YOU ENTER A DUNGEON
SHANE IS JUST TOO FRIENDLY TO pk'S

Sure you can! Have you tried tmapping? Fishing? Crafting? Farming for short periods and banking/changing locations? Have a quick recall hotkey set up? Carry pots and miniheal and such around spawn until they start helping you fight the pk? Do you the dungeon lay out and how to escape/run to somewhere you can find help from a random farmer? Are you in a guild and call for help? I am a middle tier skill player all day, believe me you just need to make a few adjustments and you’ll be doing fine

Just avoid newbie friendly dungeons and you'll be fine. Unless you are a newbie.

Loads of overland spawns that are infrequently checked such as Liches, Lich Lords, Ancient Liches, Daemons, Dragons and Drakes and Balrons There are loads of locations in dungeons where you can recall in, drop the one or two titans, daemons, ogre lords and recall to bank and safety. I have been pk'd successfully once on my tamer- to a blue tamer non the less ( damn ORK guild HAR!) I don't hit the really dangerous spots but I seem to make good bank (gold, skill scrolls, vanq weapons) quickly. My archer provo character can do the same- just not as quickly.

Daemons are a commonly hunted spot, due to so many people who farm them..

I agree, as our lich lords. That's why I say I am still trying to find places where there aren't constant PKs coming.

Seriously...grab a mage, an empty book and some blank runes and explore this world. UOF has done a great job of filling old ruins with some unique spawns. Explore Booty Island...there are some crypts there that a provo archer can mow through. Just avoid staying long in any spots. Klomp dem monsters and bank the shinniez man. If you are looking for more content just get with a group and explore some of the more difficult dungeons out there. Lot's of guilds out there that are recruiting both vet and new players.

I smiled with heartfelt love for your situation when I saw your post written in capital letters. Enjoy these times, my good man! For these are the making of sweet UO memories.

Fair enough. I can imagine that uof is pretty tuff for total new players.
You should just try to run direction out of the dungeon in straight lines using bandages and heal pots. You should be able to survive any solo pk attack. Especially if you have wrestling or a weapon skill which lowers the hit rate of the pk by 50%. Mage pks should not be a problem if you run.

Conquences for reds aren't really that tough here, let's be honest. But any good, long-standing shard needs reds. Just does.
So take of the advice here offered to you -- join a guild. Visit some rune libraries and find runes to the more unusual dungeons, like Asylum, the Grotto, Booty Island, Ankh and Exodus. Some of them can be hard, yes. But most have lower levels where you can start off.
And an escape macro is amazing. Also, hiding on a character can help.

I would like to propose an idea.
Make all dungeons a no cut zone and get rid of mobs targeting reds over blues. but then at the same time, make it so that reds can't recall/gate OUT of dungeons (they can still recall/gate IN from anywhere outside of a dungeon). I was watching a streamer (russian?) and they would gate in, kill their victims who are mostly pvmers, then immediately gate out. Way too easy and pathetic.
Make things harder for them, but at the same time loosen the punishment. I would bet a lot of random blues would band together and try to smoke these pks out of the dungeons, reds would probably team up too?. I know this would be a radical change and many pks would be against it. but it would create lots of fun pvp opportunity for all, especially for those who never bothered to try pvping. and if the reds get griefed too hard, then revert it back to what it is now. it never hurts to try.
