Upcoming Changes to Seasonal Gold

Hey everyone,

During the “Guide to Holiday Survival” event we added the Event Store and introduced a new currency called Seasonal Gold, to give you a way to directly acquire items. At the start of the “Spring It On!” event we reset everyone’s gold to 0 to keep the amount of currency from growing to unsustainable levels over time. This allows us to avoid inflating the prices of the more desirable store items, keeping them from becoming out of reach of all but the most hardcore players.

Starting with our 4.0 Update and going forward we’re going to try something different, and we wanted to give you all a heads up about it now so you can plan accordingly. Instead of resetting gold at the start of each season, we’re going to implement a cap of 5000 gold. If you reach this cap (or are above the cap when it first goes into effect) you will cease to earn additional gold until you spend enough to drop below the cap. This is timed with the start of the new event, so there will be several Legendary items available for those of you who are already above the cap.

Thanks,

Jason
