    Details:
    Logged in on a client session that had been hibernated a few days before, see that my gold is 12,119. I know I had over 960K this morning. Looking at my scrollback implied that I had been playing on an alt that I knew should have had around 12K. Changed scenes to Hidden Vale, still 12K. Quit and restarted client, back to the correct 965K!

    Steps to Reproduce:
    (guessing here)
    - play for a while on one character with low gold, maybe low stats too, I played my alt for half an hour or so
    - probably should check inventory so that the client sees the amount
    - exit to menu, log off
    - might need to wait a few minutes for things to go stale, maybe even move to a location with a different internet connection
    - log on with a second character with high gold
    - in addition to the chat log persisting (expected), the amount of gold shown in the inventory window is not updated, apparently client has cached it from the other character
    - change scenes, gold amount still does not update (I didn't try anything more to get it to sync up, like buying from a vendor)
    - quit and restart client
    - log back in to second character
    - gold amount should now be correct
