    Hey guys, why can you not store you Gold in your local banks. I think if you where able to store you gold in chest, banks, or other places it would add a sense of real value to the system instead of gold just being a fake number on the screen. Also by storing your gold in local banks or really sets up a local economy. Money you have stored in olws head will more than likely be spent there. Also for pvp flagged people it would be nice to be able to loot all the money they are carrying atm. That would add a sence of real loss for being killed.

    As Someone who pays commission to people, sometimes in gold, and a variety of other things, I really wish we could not only do this, but make it a physical object which could be separated.

    As a Business Owner, I have multiple bank accounts I just keep to put other peoples money into until I give it to them, in some cases. Much the same thing in Shroud. Would love to see Golld become tangible, and would also like to see a Gold Bar currency (go to a smith station, spend so many gold for a bar, or reverse it, with no loss of gold.. This is so easy in reality I could do it in my garage if I buy a Cruibicle.

    Would love to see these things in game.

    Gold duping ruined UO's economy.
    I'm guessing they (we) don't want that to be possible here.

    Although I wish it could be a thing that you could remove from your bank as well (I loved that in UO), I see the dangers in it, as FrostII pointed out. There are just too many ways that things can be exploited that way.

    There's plenty of player vendors out there with gold CotOs for sale if you want to decorate/store gold in your lot/bank.

    I've ostentatiously placed a stack of Gold CotO on my table in my keep...

    That is a seriously frustrating aspect of this game. We can't have gold in banks banks because the team can't secure it makes me feel like I shouldn't be spending any money on this game.

    I wish monsters would loot some of our gold on death, higher % looted from boss mobs and tier 6+ mobs. A random item or two as well :). PvP gold loot just sounds natural :).

    Gold could have weight (not much, like an arrow?) and require storage somewhere.

    Quite the scarecrow you've built there, @3devious...

    Someone pointed out that Gold Duping damaged the economy of UO, and you jump to the conclusion that the current Dev Team is Incapable of producing a product free of Gold Dupes...

    Srsly?

    There has been only one 'dupe' bug in the last 52 releases... most likely caused because producing extra seeds is a Normal process for Plants in game that needed to be removed for this one particular plant, and wasn't for one iteration... Gold Coins, I have to assume, will not inherit this behavior from its base class, and will not need to have that behavior overridden... and while annoying, I don't personally count some extra Royal Elderberry seeds as a major problem.

    Its been talked about a lot since I have been here and I seem to recall them saying they would like to do this. I think PvP should include taking 10% of the persons gold on them too.

    Gold takes up no space and weighs nothing.
    The currency system works fine.
    If it isn't broken, don't "fix" it.

    It isnt a problem, never has been but the negative social engineer types perilously spread it like it is or was an issue. Its one of their weaker arguments to try and scare off players.

    Well... this is a major concern for ANY MMO-type game. It is just a very dangerous thing to have that able to happen. You can do all you want to try to secure this type of thing. It will be abused and/or exploited somehow. It is certainly not the developers' fault. NO game would have 100% secure situation in that regard.

    As noted YES.

    If you can't touch it or manipulate it in game you can't dupe it.

    See the seed quote above.

    If you can't touch or move gold you can't dupe it. It's that simple. No more coding needed and no worries.
    Sounded like a WISE move if you ask me.

    It may be safer but not practical, in real life do you carry 20k with you or do you use banks. I would guess you use banks. I'm sorry but the money in game feels fake to me.. and why should we settle for anything less because a few people will manipulate the system... shame on them don't punish the honest people

    Please come demonstrate this to me so I can report the method to the Developers, which I'm sure you've done already if you have evidence that this is true. Otherwise this is simply fearmongering.

    Then it must be so. People making mountains of gold off if an exploit isn't much of a problem? Seriously?
    Edit, don't bother. Saying that you don't have confidence in something is fear mongering.

    Please define your terms... What is a Mountain of Gold? How much gold was made off of the Royal Elderberry dupes?
    Do you have numbers, or are you engaged in further speculation with evidence to support it?
    Some extra seeds were produced... People made gold off of the problem...
    How many seeds? How much gold?
    Is that a Mountain?

    I'm tired of fearmongering.
