Hi I have just returned after a years absence but all my gold from my bank is no longer there?? I had a few million. Where is this now? Also my backpack is half of the screen and I can not reposition it. Ican't drag it as it was locked before. Any help please.

Your gold is still there in the bank, and you can use it as before. It just doesn't exist as piles of gold & cheques anymore.

Best thing I can suggest is to drop in on the Daily West Britain Bank meet, 6pm UK time (7pm CET), where a group of us meet to help new & returning players like yourself. You will have many questions.

Can't help with the backpack I'm afraid. Are you using the Enhanced Client? I use the Classic Client myself.

Welcome back!

There was recently a currency conversion, so all the gold and checks in you bank are no longer physical items, but rather a shared balance across all the characters on a single shard on a single account. Please read here for a much fuller explanation of the new currency system.

As for the backpack issue, it sounds like you are in the Enhanced Client? I play in the Classic Client so I can't help you much there, but we do have an Enhanced Client Discussion forum that might get you the answers you need.

It's probably still there.

the system changed and now you no longer have Gold in the bank account or checks. Gold still exists outside the bank account.

To check your gold click on the banker and ask to open the bank. You will see the new gump which will be another story.

go to the bank and find the minter. say 'balance' to find out how much gold you have. as an alternative, you can right click on your character and look at the insurance menu b/c it also shows your bank balance.

you should be able to move your backpack. click (and hold) any brown part of the backpack to drag it whereever you want it on your screen. in the EC there is a lock at the top middle of the backpack. make sure it is unlocked othewise the backpack will not be moveable.

Found the gold thanks. A lot has changed I see. I used to play this game a lot but quit in 2003. Came back in 2014 but only hung around for a month as couldnt find many others online. Nostalgia has brought me back again so hopefully this time I stay longer. Just noticed Im classed as poor these days. 3.6m was a lot of gold in 2003. Looks like I have lots of work to do :)

S'why we have the daily meeting, New & Returning peeps need a lot of help to make sense of it all.

Did I mention we often have coffee?
Sometimes even Pizza.
