Gold Ingot mess up

Is there a GM or somebody reading this?

I messed up big. I smelted 36,000 gold coins into 360 gold ingots. now I remember reading in the manual it said (Don't worry if you want the gold coins back, you can just sell the gold ingots to a vendor and receive all your gold coins back). Now here is my problem, I had those 360 useless ingots, and I wanted the gold coins back, so I went and sold them to a vendor, she said "here is your 132 gold coins! WHA!! 132 gold coins for my 360 gold ingots?
I got robbed.. where is my 36,000 gold coins at?

I know, some of you will be saying, "Well 36,000 gold is not that much" well it's a whole lot to somebody that has nothing! (like me)

Oh, also. I paged a GM about it, then I waited for an hour with no responce, I ended up just logging off.

Can one of you nice GM's please give me my 36,000 gold back, (actually 35,868 since I got 132 gold back from selling my life savings).

Thanks,
Algodon

GMs regularly read the forums.

Nice, saves a LOT of space and hassles as well as reducing item count.

132 gold coins for my 360 gold ingots?

Sounds as if this might be related to the stacked items bug that Wolfie brought up.

:cry:


Now, now, no used crying over spilt gold. That's a tough call for admins unless they can track down in the logs that you actually had 360 gold ingots. Good luck! Let us know how it turns out and if you can't get it back, perhaps we can help you out!

Yep, I posted after Algodon mentioned to me ingame what happened to him.

Bummer, the Manual implies you can sell them back.

"Just sell a gold ingot to a vendor and get coins back. "

Ya, but you have to drop it on them. Maybe the manual could be fixed sometime. :D

I've used "sell all" and targeted the ingots without a hitch, or used "sell" and made sure the ingots were in my top-level pack.

When I sold my house I was paid in ingots, and I went and sold them to an npc. Now a friend of mine quit wod recently :cry: :cry: and gave me most of his belongings. Some of that was gold and gold ingots, and when I went to sell the ingots nobody would buy them. So I have 422 ingots I cant do anything with. :cry: :cry:

Ahhh, curiosities. I'll take 'em off your hands, Dione. No need in cluttering up your bank box.
