Transcripts always have the problem ot the timing gaps between questions and responses, so are never totally clear, but it implies to me that the intention is the system deleted the duped cheques - of course, a specific comment from a Dev that this is, or is not, the case would help
I must of missed that part reading the transcript when it originally came out, but still wouldn't
Like you said, timing of the transcripts. Just as likely that this was the actual conversation.
Mesanna says: until the gold or checks are put in the bank they are not added to the system
Vic says: ok, so if i have 500 mil in a house
Mesanna says: in checks?
Vic says: it will stay as 500 mil in checks?
Mesanna says: they will stay in check form till you put them in the bank
Vic says: i see
Mesanna says: yep
Mesanna says: yes sir
Vic says: so rumors are that duped checks will go poof to
Vic says: is taht true? i am sure that in 12 years, i have gold that is illegit
Mesanna says: who do you know you have duped checks?
Mesanna says: how sorry
Vic says: i dont, i just read stratics and believe everything there
Vic says: so i know that everything is duped
Mesanna says: not sure I would believe everything I read all the time.
You would think the developers would give a more definitive answer than "Yep, Yes sir" to something like deleting all of an item "labeled" duped, especially with a system that doesn't work 100% of the time. And I love her last quote, pretty much sums up my whole opinion of this hysteria. There was a wide spread panic about gold being deleted, which all a player had to do was put the gold on a vendor if they thought it might be duped.
