It went like this in UO, when you died, a popup window came up, "Do you wish to contribute to the bounty of SoandSo's head? YES or NO" If yes, you entered in how much of your money would go to the collective bounty and the server would subtract that from your bank.
SoandSo might die three or four times before someone actually looted him (suicide, or death in pve in some remote area) but whoever had loot rights could loot SoandSo's head if he had a sizeable bounty (top 50 or something). Loot head, return to any city, turn it in to any guard. Cash on the spot. R99 could turn this into a sink by taxing 20% or whatever.
Most of the real pvp drama on the Napa Valley shard (with the wtfman.com guys) was everyone chasing down the top 10 guys, the cash to be had was unreal. You might see Judge Joodi running through town, 50 guys chasing her.. all day long. That's fun my friends. Nothing motivates people more than cash money plat IMO.
