I asked in the thread but its buried 55 pages+ deep, wanted to make sure the debate got some facetime with the unwashed masses

so what? is it refunded to the players that issued the bounty? is it deleted? is it inherited?

what do you think is going to happen?
what do you think should happen?

Well, the bounty is on the character, not the player.

I'd be very surprised if it did not travel with the character. Anything less would be exploitable.

You inherit that character's bounty, naturally.
Since anyone can see a bounty, that's probably something you should check before you buy a character.

See: http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=73446


"Important note: Existing bounties in the old (current) bounty system will be removed when the new system rolls out in December. This means that bounties that have not been claimed by that time will be gone for good."

The sale of characters isn't covered in that link above, but there is a reference that might apply (DEV comments would be welcome)

Bounty pools are eliminated and a portion returned to those that contributed to the pool if the target has been inactive (unsubscribed) for a long time.

I think the ISD should have read the question first.

This.
It's just another statistic to be considered when purchasing a character, like sec status, corp history, etc. Though I can see the concern of the person who placed the bounty not getting exactly what they thought they were paying for if the character changes hands.

Who put the goat in there?

OK, sorry I misunderstood the thrust of the question.


2 things here:

1. Current bounties will disappear if unclaimed.
2. accounts sold after the update will do what to bounties?

I will ask about #2.


My opinion on #2: No change from current, but as this is my opinion I will ask someone at CCP about it.

simply make bounties something that has to be disclosed at sale, sorta like if the character has - sec status and such.

I have confirmation from a Senior GM that it stays with the character, however you are free to petition if there are any issues.
