WARNING!!! 60k gold bug

[WizardHawk]

This would have been handy info a few days back when we tried to push a guild mate to 60k to get their war frigate only to find the 13k+ pot won went nowhere and had to start over again.

There are so many examples in the game where it feels much more like advanced beta than a full priced gold version. Between the cap issues, the lack of higher level content, the serious lag and memory leak issues, and the very real problems with the grenades (just to name a few) it is becoming harder to understand why we should be paying full price for this game at this time.

OK, this 60K bug sort of explains what I'm seeing, but I want to be sure.

I'm one of the folks whose been "lost at sea" for a few days (another bug - ship permanently sailing ... can't board/launch). This morning, I got my boat back (frigate). In the time period where I couldn't sail, I've been playing poker to get to 60K to get my War Frigate.

Well, I'm at 59998. I won a 1K pot in poker, nothing. I went to fight some Veterans, nothing. No exp, no rep, no gold. I went to sell my frigate to buy the War Frigate, and it said my gold was maxed out.

So, in order for me to purchase the War Frigate, as well as resume getting notoriety, weapon exp and gold, I have to get *exactly* 2 gold to drop. If I kill lvl 1 skele's in Port Royal I think I get 1 gold each.

I can't try this out until tonight, but I hope this is my problem because at least it has a workaround, whereas my lost boat was a show-stopper.

Just so you know, if you complete a quest for gold, it will give you the remainder of what you need to reach 60k. Everything else has to be exact, but when I turned in a quest for 35 gold when I was at 59976, it gave me the 24 I needed to max out.

Thanks for the suggestion. As of this morning, I have my boat back, so I'll knock out one of those repeatable quests for the guy in Port Royal.

Then, the War Frigate is mine! Woo-hoo!

The release notes for both the test server and the open server shared the fix for the gold bug. Release notes for the open server can be found posted here.

As for purchasing ships, the most expensive ship currently available is 60,000.

any cap for gold is pretty lame, what about when or if they come out with customizible ships i think that should be expensive and all this gold youve been not earning cant be put to use for it.....

alot of stuff in this game is great but alot needs work not major work but some tweaks.

where would one submit input for this game cause i have searched and searched but to no avail i couldnt find no dev forums or any official community forums I just stareted 3 days ago but i see my self with 60k in gold in a week there should be other ways to spend it like more weapons etc
