I noticed a problem with the new checks, want to see if others have it also.

I die. Sometimes I die alot. Not the main part of the post, but it's fun to say.

Anyway I lost some insurance, went to the bank and hovered 2 seperate 1 million dollar checks. Both still said 1,000,000. I know I lost enough insurance for 3-4 deaths. I've notice this on other occasions but chalked it up to having spare gold loose in the bank. This time I did not have loose gold in the bank.

Ok, so I picked up both of the checks and dropped them back down in the bankbox, and then a new amount was reflected on one the checks. The new amount roughly reflected my insurance loss.

Before I report this as a bug I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this.

Or better, if any devs or EA/Mythic staff listening are aware of this issue.

Yes I have had this happen 3 or 4 times now.. i took some gold out By double clicking my check well it gave me gold I made a new a check went back to bank and the old checks still said same amount then closed bank ran off for a sec came back and my check said a diff amount.. It can be messed up for some thinking they have more then they do.. I know it messed me up for a sec

Yup, it happens just as you describe. Who knows if and when it will be fixed.

I have always been afraid of losing insurance due to money being in check forms, so I always leave about 50k gold in non check form in my banks just incase. I know it takes up space, but its better to be on the safe side.

I've also noticed the checks don't refresh correctly until moved.

This is a potentially bad problem unless you move your checks every time you bank.

Best advice: do a balance check frequently when involved in high death activities until this is fixed.

I also make sure to leave 100k or more laying around in gold form. Just do not trust the banker to cover my butt.

It is not really a bug.
Just some things do not refresh before you move them.

Such things were introduced after AOS to keep data transfer lower and not lag people out with unnecessary data.

It actually was a bug and is being fixed in Pub 53.
