I was thinking that why dont the devs make a contract system. They can make a new tab under auction or a new tab all together under the tavern. Contracts are to hire services for gold. For a small fee of gold a seller will put up his contract. This contract will stay up until accepted or time expires. Then a buyer will accept the offer and send a wanted amount of payment. Negotiation will go through and the seller will place his final payment and once the service is completed the buyer will receive the gold. Simple and good way to earn gold. There can be different levels of difficulty. (level 1-5 for example) The higher the level the harder the task. Level 1 and 2 can be capturing cities will level 5 could be a war service. Changes and suggestions are appreciated.
Services can include:
Real mercenaries. People who are not in orders can be hired as mercenary armies.
Help with conquering cities.
Help in defending city.
Other similar services.

maybe contracts that whole orders can accept? and the gold would go into the order treasury?

So basically... a charge for a temporary alliance, and they actually do something? (That you give to the other person..)
I can see this being abused... xD

Great idea! but this would require a lot of programming, programming that I dont think the devs are willing to do right now

imagine someone like MMM
with hug amounts of gold he could make loads of accounts.... make big armys in them
then just let him hire them for like 5 gold for a week... he'd be invincible

Umm... He wouldn't need to hire them in that case. He'd use them for free...
ALSO: Multi-accounting is a bannable offense, and he wouldn't get away with it... (Plus, I'm sure his 1 account, in many servers, is more than enough for him)

That's not how it works... >.>
You have an IP, and that IP is recorded, when two players login using the same IP it is flagged, and monitored. There's a way to bypass that, but even so, you will still get caught. =P

what if a enemy who really hates you makes one to try to get you banned? Monitoring is the only way to really get the greatest proof. also, many players will simply put a number or something in the account name if its already taken.
this is an awesome idea!!!!
