15 Trillion in Dirty Money Removed from the Game
As outlined in our Rules of Conduct, we do not allow players to enrich themselves through the abuse of bugs or exploitation of game mechanics. We reserve the right to confiscate any items created through such means.

Recently, we discovered a large number of checks for amounts over one million gold pieces. Checks were never intended to exist in denominations of more than a million. Unfortunately, these inflated checks have been used by exploiters to store extremely large amounts of gold. These checks have now been removed from the game.

Now to get rid of these exploiters as well. Its great news to hear and see that things are being done to balance the game and bring UO back to UO.

That was excellent news to hear. They said that some of the large checks got converted to indivual checks to add up to the total....I wonder how they knew which were done on purpose and which inadvertantly. I guess if you had 1 it may have been an accident but if you had 100 then you knew what you were doing??

Holy crap... All the internet vendors have disappeared! WOOT!

Anyone ever check the ebay prices for gold? I think it was down to 100 bucks for 50 million at one point...

I checked today, knowing the effect that would have on the economy of scripters... muwhahaha...

50 million is selling for 200 bucks... 100mil is 400+...

I think they've been put out of business...
