There is a flaw in World of Warcrafts statistics for “Total gold acquired”. A couple years ago, players discovered that the most a character can hold is 2^31 (or 2147483648) copper pieces of currency. This is what is known as the “gold cap” in World of Warcraft. A single character cannot hold more gold than this in his backpack, otherwise an error is reported.
Unfortunately, the statistics Blizzard keeps works differently. If you
were to acquire more than 2^31 copper pieces, it basically goes into
the negatives. That is, it will go as:
…, 2147483646, 2147483647, 2147483648, -2147483648, -2147483647, ….
and back to 0.
I
tried this and managed to get into the negatives, and eventually get it
back to 0… and then up to 2147483648 again lol. I wonder if blizzard
has a counter to see how many times you went into the negatives and got
back up to 0.
Copper must be highly devaluated, uh?
lolz, negative cash
actually YOU have the counter. it’s called a calendar, get a life.
