Harvesting corpses for trophies

CluckingChicken

Now imagine there was an item (such as a knife or an axe), that when used while targeting an enemy corpse, will harvest a trophy such as a head, and that trophy could be placed in a player or guild home for all to see. Mousing over the trophy would show the player's name, guild name, and the name of the person who landed the killing blow, as well as the date and time they were killed. Imagine having a row of heads belonging to your rival guild, all sitting in a row on a table in your guild hall.

This could also be used in a potential bounty system. People could request the head of an enemy player, and would offer items or gold in exchange for the trophy as proof of the kill.

Umm. What?

DAOC actually has a less macabre version of this. If an enemy player has a guild banner summoned and you kill him, the banner drops and you can take it and put it on the wall of your or your guild's house.

There might well be some form of player-dropped items, probably not along the lines of full-loot, but more akin to items spawning from dead players for their slayer.

I seriously doubt they will have a limb-harvesting system

You could do it in UO.  I had my enemies heads on my mantle above my fireplace.  Would be nice to see this option again.
