Oops. I had 2061kk on my vendor and someone paid me 250kk and I wrapped around the 32-bit integer limit of 2,147,483,647. As I owe a vendor salary of 1.97b, it will not let me withdraw any funds to get back under the 2.14b limit.

Can we just get the update which makes gold into credit that you can trade freely and keep an infinite amount of it in your bank without worrying about mil checks taking up space? Would make trading 300kk a lot easier.

I know it's probably stygian but still think of the quality of life increase...

Very tempting answer... :D

It seems like your vendor has already called it quits. Its items can be reclaimed from the house sign. As the held gold is negative, it will not refund you any of that when you reclaim the inventory.

I have added 2 new vendors to refund your balance of 2,319,264,401 (-1,975,702,895) gold before the vendor decayed. The amount is split over them both so as to not cause another unintentional gold sink.

We will fix this from happening in the future, though I doubt this will happen to anyone else anytime soon. There appear to be no other vendors with more than 1 billion gold on them. (Thank heavens!) :P

I remember a similar bug being exploited in RunUO like ten years ago.
Actually the shard I used to play died because it.
