New Idea for Crown Store! *PARDONS*

Hellbound_Syren
Hello, I'm not sure if this has been brought up before as an idea. . . but seeing as I've gotten myself into a pickle with an obnoxiously high bounty (36k at one point!) I think it'd be a nice add-on to the crown stores and for players :smile:

*drum rolls*

Emperor's Pardons!

Yes, that's right! For those of us who make the mistake of say - doing the "Mass Murderer" achievement - all in one go! Perhaps it's possible to offer an "Emperor's Pardon" in the Crown store? Say for 500-800 Crowns you can buy ONE Emperor's Pardon, a consumable for personal use OR that could be given to either the fence or guards which would clear a bounty of a ridiculous amount for those players who either cannot afford to pay ALL the bounty or simply don't want to wait a week for said bounty to drop to an acceptable, easily-paid-for amount.

Don't get me wrong, I should've been smart about the murderer achievement and did it little-by-little, but I got carried away HAHA! If I hadn't gone on my mass-murder of NPC's I probably wouldn't have come up with a possibly great idea to help other gamers or game developers themselves come up with goofy ideas xD

So what do you guys think? Would this be a possible addition to the game? Thanks for giving my post a look!

    I actually kind of like the idea. Possibly have a maximum limit on how bounty it will reduce? Seems to easy to go on killing spree's and looting like wild, rack up a HUGE bounty (I've heard of bounties like 150k) and just use a somewhat cheap pardon to get rid of it all in one shot.

    Thanks, MissBizz!

    You're right, it is insanely easy to go overboard on bounties, and a set max amount that could be cleared is also a good idea to add to the pardon.
    I actually was happy to finish the achievement, but feel horrible at the same time for killing all those innocent NPC's and now I can't venture into towns to finish quests or bank/stores without getting MURDERED by the guards xD

    Good idea! The rich supporting the game should not be treated like commoners. Besides, the justice system might be interesting, but only the injustice system would add real drama to the game.

    Well, JamilaRaj. . .

    It's not that I was going for "'Only the Rich' can afford this" type of store item. Actually another thing that could be implemented is that you would have to wait a set time between accruing such a high bounty, buying the pardon from the store, and then being able to actually use the pardon.

    Say, the model goes like this:

    Accrue high bounty > > > Purchase Pardon from Crown Store > > > Six hours must pass > > > Pardon can be used to clear bounty.

    Plus, have there be a set time limit between uses of said Pardon. Like, that it can only be used once per week? That'd help keep hooligans from causing too much chaos.

    Or perhaps everyone can get a one-time use FREE PARDON, which can be used whenever needed, and any insanely high KOS bounty gained thereafter, you must purchase a Pardon from the Crown Store.

    I don't want to possibly create an unfair advantage over those who cannot afford extra purchases.
