Needs to be increased. Shouldn't have a limit, period.


(I'm sure this has been suggested many times but I wasn't about to search the forums for it)

[twitch]

first time i +1'd you.

[hazeeee]

Yea . i heard alot of ppl scammed coz cant trade or vend a single item w/ a 2b+ price..

[Cordazar]

It's a database limit at the moment. They would need to do changes which might have an impact on performance.
That doesn't mean I don't agree with what you are saying but just thought I should point it out

[ThunderBug]

the max price is from like..irose, cause nothing then was worth over a couple of hundred mil cause no one had it

[Gojio]

That limit ain't a random number they picked lol.

The datatype they use to store the price is an integer(int) which have a fixed size of 2^32 which equals to 4294967296. Integers can be signed/unsigned, unsigned gives an interval of 0 to 4294967296 while a signed integer gets an interval of -2147483647 to +2147483647. They could change the datatype to a bigint which has a max size of 2^64 which should be enough but it would also increase the amount of data that is stored.

So it's an issue of space it would require to increase it? ... weird...

Shows how little I know about programming ^_^

@Gojio im way to tired to understand that..

@Gojio im way to tired to understand that..

It's really simple:


The amount of in-game zulie and the prices in ROSE are stored by a datatype that is only capable of holding a number equal to, or less than 2147483647.

They could change it to a different datatype, like the one mentioned in the quote would enable to store greater numbers and therefore increasing the limit of zulie while also increasing the amount of data that needs to be stored.

But shouldn't they have several terribites of storage space? data space shouldn't be an issue... :X

Changing the datatype from a 32 bit integer to a 64 bit integer would basically double the amount of data that needs to be stored. However, there might be other limitations against this, such as bad programming.


Still, since they can't(or dont want to) handle the inflation, increasing the cap is the only option they have.

[bluehell]

This should definately be done soon. Of course the chances of actually seeing it done are iffy. Mainly because the devs would not like to work 5minutes on the actual game, because item mall is totally more important /sarcasm

wow pickup i didnt know u were still active on the forum

its about 7 hours later... (1.39am)
so im still to tired to understand it..

Zulie has long been moved to a 64-bit integer data type (__int64), however there are still many areas of the game client which contain legacy code which enforces the 32-bit limitation which will take time to remove (especially when it's not an immediate priority).

[Phish]

Hmm what are the immediate priorities?

[tENLAVUU]

Hmm what are the immediate priorities?

"remodeling AP" 3 times or so back to back is well more important than actual game bugs/balancing.

[Kittiz]

That limit ain't a random number they picked lol.

YES! I understood this!! Yay for Computer Science classes that are now just semi-useless knowledge bases stored in my brain! Wooo.

( ^ Semi-useless due to a major change. )

So uh...

People being scammed bcuz of a cap on trade isn't an immediate priority? :X

I have removed the 32-bit limitations from vendor stores, this should be available in the next patch (if not, the following week).

Update: 32-bit limitations have also been removed from the Trade window for the next patch. The maximum zulie allowance in trade has been increased from 1,000,000,000z to 100,000,000,000,000,000z.

Now that's some kind of progression.

Epic, now that's a whole lota 0's

You are probably right but... wasn't the maximum amount of zulie that's tradeble 1,000,000,000? 1000 million aka 1 billion? Just so I know.. Awesome that you did this man! Thanks for letting one through!

Awsome! But one thing...for the love of god, INCLUDE COMMAS.

Seriously, with so many zeros, life would be so much sweeter with commas added into the menu.
