Goldcap

Recommended Posts

I know we want to stay as blizzlike as possible but the default goldcap is unmanagable minimum.

Please consider raising it to 10m per character.

The "blizzlike" goldcap for vanilla is around 60k.

 

Since we've seen an incident where a player had 80k+ I doubt they have enabled a cap in general.

Source?

 

IIRC the gold cap was around 214,000 and then upgraded to around 2mil in Cata.

One of the mages from Nihilum had a playtime of around 250 days at the end of vanilla, so he was a really big "nerd".

He also had 60k gold and told that this was the gold limit back in vanilla.

 

It got modified to 214k with TBC.

As far as I know goldcap is 214748g due to the restrictions of the 32-bit integer.

This is correct.

"Before that, the most money a single character could carry was 214,748 36 47 (or 231-1), because Blizzard stores a player's money as a signed 32-bit integer. Screenshots of players reaching the gold limit have been taken on both American and German servers."
