  • Every time you report a Murderer, you are given the choice to contribute gold to a bounty. The gold is automatically removed from your bank account.
  • When you kill a Murderer, you must chop up the Murderer's corpse in order to retrieve the head. (This will result in a small Karma loss but it will not flag you as a Criminal)
  • You can take the bountied Murderer's head to any guard in any town and give it to the guard in order to collect the bounty. (This will result in a small Karma gain equal to the amount lost for chopping up the corpse.)
  • Banks will have bounty boards that list the top bountied Murderers on the shard.
  • Bounties decay after 2 weeks if the Murderer does not get reported during the 2 weeks. Any gold in the bounty is returned to the economy (not to the victims who added gold).
  • A Bounty remains active even after a Murderer loses his Murderer status. Only after the 2 weeks has gone by will the bounty be removed.
We will begin to decay bounties after two weeks time (from now, or last reported murder).
You will be able to claim bounties on players that are not currently red.
Bounties will be sorted by bounty value, not short term counts.

Great!

I thought the listing seemed a bid random. Is this currently in effect?

Will we get a fix to the bounty board list to go from Short Term - Bounty to Bounty - Short Term instead too?

This is not yet in effect, but should be within the next day or two.

It seems to me like this would decrease the effectiveness of the bounty system. If people know that there's a good chance their bounty money will be wasted, they will be less likely to offer a bounty.
