I care not if it democracy or a dictatorship, peoples opinions mean something to me; and this pole will allow me to see how other people that play feel. I simply like to know how others feel thats all.

The top 50 richest players list has been up for quite a deal longer than the time this bug was exploited, and if you know many of the people on there personally as I do, you know that a lot of that money is legitimate. That said, it looks like at least 200 million GP was faked in the past week.

What should be done? Stop buying and selling things entirely until the GMs rebalance the economy. I trust them to come up with a fair, sensible solution, which I can't say describes any of the options you've listed in this poll.

The options are not my personal views they are the views and opinions of many different people I have asked in game.

I'm for changing currency. The introduction of euro in Italy has been really effective. :?

I didn't/don't even know about the casino bug cheat thing. So, I kinda hope that my money won't be lowered, seeing as how I have very little anyways. (200k) I work hard for mine, (except for the money that got given to me when I first started, but since then I have given money to random other new players also) and most other users do to.

My vote is that nothing happens now, and that the bug is just fixed on the new server. =)

we did this already in the past, cut all the money to 50k (i think that was the amount of money) I lost 1M in the transition, but you can get that money back really quick, and by the way, All, I mean All the money will be zero "nada" when we move to the new server and yes you will have to start over again :twisted:

you know we could take an item like the casino chips and make it the new currency, make it stackable and show in the inventory. Make it more valuable than normal gold, have it at a 20:1 ratio. Would not require much scripting.

I would consider anyone who makes any trades involving large amounts of money in the current situation as either quite brave or quite stupid.
