For the improved Gringotts, I have a couple questions...

1. There's a 'collect interest' button, and being a student with no (or rare) other way for an income (... well there's posting now I guess), I deposit my galleons. However, when I tried to collect the interest, it didn't work. Even after I refreshed the page, went to a different page and came back... Nothing.

2. Are sickles and knuts completely gone now?

3. I know there's some sort of transfer of old vault accounts coming over, but it was mentioned in a couple different places and the wording was slightly different in each, so I'm confused:
Do we repurchase what we had before (and be paid back for the loss)? Or are the items getting moved over as well?

4. I have a new account that I recentely made on the new site, but I notice that she has a considerably lesser amount of money to start off with than my first character did on the old site. Why is that?

(maybe I should have been in Ravenclaw for all the questions I'm asking! Only joking, I love being in Gryffindor )

I noticed that today it seemed the number of galleons you receive for each post (at 50 words or more) went from 1 galleon to 5 galleons. This isn't a glitch, right?

EDIT: Also, if I purchase a house elf in the store, does that sort of act as my being allowed to RP as them, or does that come with an actual house elf character to RP with?

As to getting to RP them, no you don't. There's someone else who RPs them.

I don't know about the 5 galleons thing.

@Prof. Volynski: Thanks

Update! The 5 galleons thing must not be a glitch, because I am getting 5G for each 'substantial' post.

Yeah, but for adults, it's kinda bummer to not have more than 50-ish for a start. It's gonna take a while to get enough to buy a house =P

[Nicholas Volynski]

The 5 Galleon part isn't a glitch. It was set to that.

As for house elves, they are only for adults since you really can't own a house elf while at school

And Professors will quickly make their money after a month of being a professor, don't worry.

P.S. I won three tickets in the last lottery for a total of 120 galleons! Woot!

[Prof. Aine MacArthur]

The more substantial posts seem to be "worth" more because, well, speaking as someone who's been at this whole rp thing for a while, they are! The more words to your post, the more information and detail you give, the more fun rp can be! it's like reading a novel really, the more detail an author puts in, the more it comes to life! Isn't that why we all love HP in the first place?

[Andrew Bishop]

That's not entirely true. I make substantial posts in my class and only get one galleon, all of my characters are the same, shopkeeper and student. So I don't know if that is a glitch or what.

[Heather Previtera]

@Prof. Volynski: It's monthly pay now? I thought it was termly or you know...

@Prof. MacArthur: Yeah. That's true I just mean that the ones that are 50 words or less aren't worth anything. I think.

@Prof. Volynski: Thanks for letting us know that extremely important information If my character gets to know you better, I'll expect something good for her birthday

Edit:
@Prof. Bishop: Hmm. Maybe there are some glitches. Because I think what I wrote above was more than 50 words, but I didn't get any G. Maybe it's specific to where you post, as well as how much?

[Prof. Raiden Li]

Mine is 1 g too.

[Marianne Hayley]

Me and my chars also used to get only 1 galleon no matter how long the post but now I'm starting to get 5 galleons again. But yeah, every time I post in any class for Kathy she gets 5G. So what is up with that?

IF you go into your account at the bank, you can see what you are paid for your posts. Left menu, down at the bottom. Also, you used to only get post counts when the posting was done in RP topics, not RL topics or question/answer topics.

[Cyrus Gabryelle Santivanez]

Thank you for the clarification.

[Heather Previtera]

Do you think the skin has anything to do with it?
I know for other situations, people have debated whether or not the skin was the cause or not, and I really didn't see it as being a reason before, but... I'm just throwing ideas out there now.
(Having nothing better to do, I'm going to go check)

[Nicholas Volynski]

There is practically no way that the skin has anything to do with what galleons your are getting. That is all in the backend of the system and has nothing to do with the appearance of the board.

[Heather Previtera]

So, my galleons got updated, but there's still nothing from my old account in my current inventory (am I supposed to re-buy the items?). Also, if that is the case, I didn't get any reimbursement for the lost items.

If we aren't supposed to get repayment or anything like that though, I'm not complaining, I'm just curious/confused.

And, I don't feel like making another topic, and it kind of goes hand-in-hand (no pun intended). For buying new wands, you're only supposed to buy one core now, correct? Opposed to the old site where you could choose up to three.

As for your inventory, there are people working on it but it will take time. Please be patient.

As for the wand thing, it is my impression that you can only have one core now however, I'm only guessing.
