Incoming Prison System

[chickenbutt]

I watched a video this weekend showing that they are going to be adding a prison system to the game to stop griefers. If you are x levels higher than x amount of people you kill over x amount of time, a bounty will be placed on your head in the country you are in.

So for instance if you are griefing players several levels lower than you, a bounty will automatically be put on your head in for instance Stygia. Then NPC bounty hunters will track you down and arrest you.

When you are arrested, you are put in a public prison area where others can come in and actually see you in there.

To prevent people from simply logging onto another toon or logging off, they are making it so you have to do quests inside the prison before you can actually leave.

These quests will be awful, such as killing 300 rats with a stick, or carrying a boulder from one end of the prison to the other, back and forth 30 times... Quests that you just don't want to do.

I love it!

I spent sooo much time in jail in The Realm waaaaay back in the day! They also had a nice feature, where if you killed another player, their ear would drop. So if you killed me, you could pick up and hold on to "Ear of Dawnblade". What was nice, is it allowed players to manage their own bounty system and have something to provide of proof (Bring me 3 ears of zophar, and I will pay you 10 silver, for example).

I guess you'll actually have the ability to pay off the bounty hunters as well. So if you have a bounty of 10g on your head, you could offer them 12g to let you go.
