Weird Pile of Gold

[Dot_Warner]

A friend has three piles of gold in her house which list neither an amount nor a logical weight when moused over in either client.

On the floor, where the piles have been locked down for months, it just says ‘gold coin’ with a weight of 1 stone. If you try to move it, it says there are 65,535 coins…


In the EC pack, the pile shows as 65K and 1 stone.



Anyone know what sort of voodoo is going on?

Those were acquired by begging I believe based on the karma level of the player if the karma level was low enough you got a negative amount of gold which would be that pile.

I have seen them come from dropped vendors in your moving crate

They are still obtainable, got this stack 5 minutes ago.

Bugged gold from begging...so essentially fool's gold. I think she will be amused!

Thank you all.
