How did they get all that gold?

The most I’ve ever had was, like 12 gold. I started playing again recently and I don’t even have one, so somehow I doubt this will ever become the bane of my existence.

Anyway yeah, how is this no surprise that there is a cap? There is a cap on anything that’s on a computer; just as gradbot said. I don’t think this will change simply because blizzard has no intention to actually charge you anything in game that would cost that much.

Do you really need that much? My knowledge is limited due to not playing it, but isn’t some of the most expensive stuff only really going upto 4 digit gold? The rest just seems completely excessive.

hope they add something in for 64 bit to make this gold go up more

Neither of them must be warriors then. 2^31 is only slightly above your average repair bill.

This is caused by a 32 bit signed integer value used by wow to store how much money you have. 2 ^ 31 = 2147483648. Which is exactly the above value in copper. It’s not because wow wanted to limit how much gold you could have.
