Ive looked at the whole bounty system many times, seeing that theres something weird about it that should be able to be exploited, but without any ideas
today i went and noticed my wifes name misspelled on the bounty list. i decided i didn't want anyone reading it and killing her in an attempt to get the bounty. So i made a noob with the name, and killed it.
so, do this:
1. Open two CO clients, log one non-noob char into tc and sit by sunfer. create a new account on the site and go log into it but don't name the character yet.
2. Look through the bounty list on the character by Sunfer, and look for names that you recognize, and see if they are spelled incorrectly (wrong letters, symbols, capitalization, etc.)
3.
a. If your certain that it is misspelled, name the char in the other CO client the incorrectly spelled name.
b. I. If your uncertain that it is misspelled, accept the bounty (only costs 1k, so no big deal) then open your chat log and scroll down to the bottom to where it says the name of the person you just accepted the bounty for.
b. II. Copy and paste the name into the field on your other client where you enter the characters name.
c. After a server splits, i believe that the names in the bounty remain the same (though I'm not sure) if so, choose a name of someone who didn't come to the new server from your old server and accept the bounty on it, naming the noob in your other window that name.
4. Try to create the character, if you get an error saying the character already exists, keep trying until you find one that doesn't
5. Accept the bounty, and jump the noob over by Sunfer and check your other screen to make sure that it said you've found the target. (if it doesn't, then you misspelled the name, or something went awry. make sure to go back and check the characters name and that you did everything right)
6. Buy a TC scroll. (buy a few if you plan to do this more than once, to save time)
7. The noob starts out with 100 silvers, use them to teleport to DC using the conductress and follow with your other character. (DC because its a pk-OK map)
8. Once in the DC map with both chars, hop up a few screen-heights on both and use the noob and attack the non-noob.
9. Since the noob is blue, kill it!
10. Make sure u got your bounty, and scroll back to TC on your non-noob char. and go back by Sunfer if you plan to do it again.
11. Revive the noob char once it counts down from 20 then click options>delete> (type 0) and click ok. then re-login on the client, to the page where it asks you to enter the name of the character.
then your set to do it again. it takes all of three or four minutes to do one whole cycle, and you get a minimum of 70k per time.
disadvantage: It only works if people cant spell, or purposely misspelled someones name.
I did this for 30 min or so and got 600k.
anyways, hope that help people out there, and maybe some of you all will be lucky enough to find someones name misspelled with a 2 mil bounty on them. (i had no such luck)
