KARMA UPDATE (Coming soon)
Karma Points:
- Each player has a Karma score/value that ranges from -3000 to 3000, with actions impacting their score positively or negatively.
- Positive actions, such as collaboration and trading with villagers, increase Karma, while negative actions, like player killing, decrease it.
- Karma gradually increases over time, particularly when around players with positive Karma. However, passive Karma generation is capped at 1400, and Karma above this level will slowly decrease without input.

1. Very High Karma (1500 to 3000)
- Keep inventory and XP on death
- Permanent Strength & Luck effects
- No money loss on death

2. High Karma (500 to 1499)

THE BOUNTY SYSTEM
Overview:
- Players can use the /bounty command to view available bounties and /hunt command to track the distance to their bounty target.
- Bounties are placed on players with negative Karma, with the chance of receiving a bounty and the reward amount based on the player's Karma level.
- Bounties are removed after three days or if the player reaches positive Karma.
- The /hunt command can be used once every 10 minutes, and players can benefit from working together and using advanced strategies, such as triangulation, to effectively locate their targets.
