Successfully killing your target earns you points to spend on BH exclusive items sold by the NPC who assigns targets. Among these items could even be upgrades to the ring of assassination, which help only against bounty targets. The ring of assassination is always kept on death while red skulled, but can still be lost with a white skull, or no skull at all.
Consecutive Kills will earn increasingly more points, while dying or leaving the wilderness before your target does resets your kill count to zero. If your target escapes the wilderness before you can kill them, you are assigned a new target, and your kill count is not reset.
If your target logs out, you must wait 1 min before a new target is assigned. If your target logs back in within that minute, even on another world, you are told which world they are on, so you can continue the hunt! There is no easy escape from the unforgiving wilderness.
After a successful kill, you are given 1 minute to leave the wilderness before you are given a new target. Leaving during this time does not reset your kill count. If you instead stay in the wilderness for a new target, each consecutive target is worth even more points, in addition to your kill count bonus. Your kill count only resets when you die in the wilderness, or abandon a target by leaving the wilderness.
This brings back the risks and rewards of the wilderness, combined with the thrill of the hunt from Bounty Hunter. I see no reason why Bounty Hunter should be segregated to separate worlds. As long as there is somebody in the wilderness, there is somebody to hunt! Make the wilderness a dangerous place for adventurers again by giving PKers better means to hunt them down. This would make the wilderness less popular for skillers, but it will always hold some appeal, and the PKers will at least always have each other to kill.
