Return after 4 years

Hi all. Glad to be back! I logged on for the first time in four years as a premium player, and I couldn't find my currency. Is it gone, or am I just not finding where it is located?

If you check the "ID" thing in menu it should show you how much you have.


The only thing nessicary for evil to succede, is for good people to do nothing.

There is a restriction on how much currency a character can have *IF* they are Premium *AND* very low on the reward tiers. You only need to be 2nd tier to be able to hold half a billion inf.

I should note that, as far as I know, if you have more influence than you're allowed to have under the new rules, the extra doesn't magically vanish, but you won't be able to earn any more until you're below the cap.

Four years is a long time though, so I wonder how much you had back then? Anything stored on one of your characters should still be there though.

Welcome back!


If your money went "poof" or something, PM me your global with the missing sum and I'll issue a refund on behalf of the game.

Just an FYI, make sure to find out what inf cap the OP is under. It's quite possible he doesn't have the 2 billion limit unlocked.

It will continue to be earned after that point, but it won't be added to your inventory. (Thus, you can continue making progress towards the inf badges even if you don't have room for it.

I've heard that some time back the inf cap was raised to 2 billion, but I can't find anything on the wiki that mentions it, much less when it was raised. If you were playing before the cap was raised it's possible you didn't have as much inf as you thought you did.

I could easily be misremembering but I thought the cap was always 2 billion and what was increased over the years was how much players could trade/transfer between characters.

I clearly remember at one point only being able to trade/transfers of 99,999 at a time.


Now when they first put restrictions on trial accounts back in I12 they lowered the inf cap on trials to 50k inf to restrict RMT abuse.

wasn't it even lower than that in the old days?

I remember back when everyone was poor, getting some inf from a pal took forever because you had to do so many transfers.

It might have been 50k at one point but if it was it was before I became aware of the trade feature so I can't do better than guess.
