You're a moron. Bounty Hunter Craters would separate the wilderness into 3 different areas. It's already dead enough and with that being said, Bounty Hunter as a whole would be dead content after a few weeks because it's much easier to just PK in the wilderness.

The only solution to the wilderness being unpopulated is PVP worlds with EP/Target System/Brawling Gloves just like they did back in 2009-2010 or so. Of course idiots like you will vote no against this and ruin it for people that actually go into the wilderness more than once a year for a clue scroll.

Original message details are unavailable.

I personally liked craters more. Both had their merits, however here is why craters would work better in the game:

1. Bounty hunter worlds would require an incentive to fight your target, this can be exploited by groups of friends to farm any new items, extra loots given as rewards. Also in the worlds you have to chase them all over the wildi and clans would just camp multi for solo pkers.

2. The craters are a new kind of pking, a different concept with high risk and fun. There were a few flaws in the last craters e.g. lots of people having the same target and all attacking/pjing when the other was low health (plus you didn;t know if they had you as a target)

3. The penalties were a big risk. I pked an AGS in the crater when they were 110m... the 3 min penalty made it the most intense moment of my RS life. Taking the risk to bank and come find loot again was great fun too.

4. The money skulls, these showed people's risks. This was a great way to know what spec weps people had etc as well as telling whether it was worth fighting someone.

I have loads more reasons as to why craters are better but cba writing as likely no JMOD will read. But I suggest a vote on it or trial the two at least!

EP/76k or this will just be more dead content that divides the pvp scene even further

Im going to be as real and as honest as possible. It has been a whole year and I still continue to see the same clans fight over and over again. People have no interest in pking because theyre really isnt any money to it. In EP days if people can remember back that far you had tons of people running around the wilderness trying to make a quick buck with either their friends or just riding solo, and now when you see pking its just a same repeat of the same clans over and over. Teams and clans continue to die. This honestly has to be addressed and im finally glad the the option of have EP has arisen. Now i only hope that people will wake up and see that this will truly rejuvenate the wilderness.

Craters

Adding Bh craters would be a bad idea. It would divide the pvp community even more. Its already between pvp worlds & the wilderness*

** Themed Worlds

This would be the best way to introduce BH. It keeps the wilderness active, and gives individuals an incentive to use these worlds. I saw Ep being mentioned in this topic, and I believe that would be a great incentive.

PvP Worlds

I don't think a target system would be beneficial for PvP worlds. Ep would be better.

Looking back, the pvp system was the most enjoyable during the pvp/bh world era. I believe the reason behind that was the ep incentive, along with targets.

The best course of action to keep the pvp community strong, or attract more people to it, would be to introduce bh themed worlds.
Ep could also be added.

BH crator would just fail like the crucible, and die out like PVP, or kill pvp.

I wana see BH worlds because it helps big clans, small clans, med clans, and single pkers equally, and encourages people to join clans or PK with friends.

look what i personally think is to add bh craters! BUt, hear me out, make the entrances non multi, therefore clans can't team you up, just make a few minor changes, just a few...... and minor changes to make bh craters the way they were but more enjoyable . to players and oldschool players that have experienced these team/luring problems.
