OOO an other idea just hit me,

Players can buy houses and turn them into businesses. Like initally being able to sell a limited number of items but if the business grows then it gets more item slots.

Same for gangs. Lets say if enough people are in a party and own enough property collective that area becomes gang terrority.

Heres my other idea i had at the era POW WOW event. Gangs have territories that can be taken or gained. Businesses in that territory have to pay a protection tax to the gang in control.

Man im smart. Dont go stealing these ideas atrius etc.

Atrius already had an idea like that and its in a thread on here already

I rather like the current Bounty Hunter system now.
It's more effective than it's ever been.

I do, however, think that the minimum price to put a bounty should be lowered
to about $200; and even lower when the reset comes around. It'd bring in more business.

I also like the mutual agreement that PPA and Bounty Hunter have; we
both follow certain PK guidelines, but we're free to attack one another on sight.
It gives Era more of a "rivalry" feel.

Hey, Atrius is pretty fun when it's got a playercount.
The only downsides to Atrius I've seen are:

• Bases aren't PK-friendly.
• Atrius staff are highly unprofessional. They act like children,
  and use staff tools as if it's their playground.
• The majority of active players spend more time making money than PKing.

Fix at least two of the above issues, and Atrius would get headway.

it's effective because of who's leading it, I'll give props to that.
as soon as it gets into the wrong hands, it goes downhill.

I came up with two ideas to help bounty hunter get more business.

-1- Have it so every time a bounty hunter kills a marked man it will automatically take a screen shot, and send it to the player who placed the bounty, through the mail system.
(not sure if it would be possible to script)

-2- Have a top 5 bounty list, in the BH base. a list of the top 5 people with the most total bounties ever placed on them.

The system made me want to go out and spend a year earning money then put out a huge bounty on a trial...I never got around to it tho..It would have been awesome

Yea, I was thinking of something along those lines. It's kind of stupid how they place a bounty but never know or get the feeling when their death comes. I was thinking of maybe having it where the target is sent to the BH base, or some kind of prison cell, after he is killed by a Bounty Hunter. There the client can pretty much kill the target himself without getting worry about him shooting back.

The target would stay in there for about 2 minutes tops so that the client has time to get there and players don't complain about the timer.

This is just a concept.

The one thing I dont get about bounty hunter is its a cool idea but honestly who places a bounty on someone to kill them? You could go kill them yourself and not lose 500->X amount of dollars

Yeah I like that idea. I think it would work well. Just needs some more thought.
