WOW Gold Cap

"In World of Warcraft the main currency is gold. You can use it for nearly everything including buying items from an NPC, trading with other players, buying travel (Flight, Portals, etc), buying spells, training professions, buying ingredients for potions and gear and so on. The list goes on. Basically, World of Warcraft gold is the equivalent to money in real life. World of Warcraft currency is spit into three different coin types. Copper (c), Silver (s) and Gold (g). 100 Copper makes up 1 Silver 100 Silver makes up 1 Gold 1 gold = 100 Silver or 10000 Copper You can earn money via a large number of methods however people often have trouble earning it. Some people (including me) have reached the wow gold cap. The wow gold cap/limit is the maximum amount of gold one character can reach. Currently it is 214,748 g 36 s 46 c. This is because gold is stored in a 32 bit signed integer (programmers/mathematical term) which can store between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647 in value (You don't need to know what this means, it's just why the gold limit is there) I expect that the wow gold cap will one day be changed but as of now there is no need to do so because nothing in the game is that expensive. When it is changed hopefully you will be prepared with a nice a mount of gold and a grin on your face."
