How abouts..Emergency Jobs. Using Gweths, and/or Town criers. These would be special jobs that would be rare, and worth it for someone to do. Say Farmer Fred has spotted a wolf attacking his herd of cattle, he immediately sends up a "flare" for immediate help, the first person to respond and deal with the situation gets the "ample" reward.

Also, I would suggest putting in a Board in most Cities with Job lists on them, kinda like advertising.

You Tap a Help Wanted Board
>look Help Wanted Board
On the Help Wanted Board you see,
A Hastily scrawled note
A shabby parchment
A smudged handbill
A ragged poster

>Read note
Wanted: Hearty individuals willing to help harvest a field of wheat. Contact Farmer Bob for details!

>Read parchment
Wanted: A Mercenary is needed to decimate a Roaming Cadre of Ogres last spotted near Kaerna Village. See Gruk for details

>Read handbill
Needed: Falken is seeking 30 goblin skins. stop by the Tanner's Shed for details.

>Read poster
Warning! The Prince of Zoluren has requested assistance in dealing with an AWOL Captain. See the Clerk at the Keep for more information.

note that the listings on the boards wont activate the job for you, but will give you a list of a few of the jobs that are out there so you dont have to go searching the lands for one if you dont want to. They would alternate over time, or as they are completed. It would give people like me, who wont be using Jobs as an everyday source of income, skill, or whatever the reward is, a way to look around and see if anything really piques our interest, or seems like somthing our character would do without having to make a concentrated effort to seek out jobs.

Hmm, this almost looks like the job system in modus...


Which, for creative purposes, blows GS3's job system out of the water.


Combine the goodness of both of these, iron out the shoddy details, and let's have something that'd put those two to shame... heh..

That would a job for bards. Pulling a cart around and banging a pan. : )

"Bring out the dead!" bangs his pan

"Bring out the dead!" bangs his pan

Leaves it as that.

p.s. If you do not understand this watch Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. ; )

>>That would a job for bards. Pulling a cart around and banging a pan

Would be an awful Idea...would cause too many PvP conflicts.

::Bob drags joe to the cart pulling guy::

Bob says, "here's one"

Joe says, "I'm not dead...

ect...

Ends with bard putting a bolt in joe...then the reports, the lockouts...the cries of interupted RP...

I see only darkness from such an idea.

Why bother? You can always go look at sir robyn, and see him comment on the theregian swallows with the coconuts, exactly like they did in monty python.

I volunteer my services to delve into the mystries of the air speed velocity of laden and unladed swallows.
