For technical reasons (hexadecimal numbers, the first digit of whose binary representation mustn't be negative) slightly over two billion is the maximum amount of gold that any single character can have. Of course, six (or more) characters with two billion each is more than sufficient, I'd say
On the Inn, in general: It seems that whatever a character enters the Inn with is what he has; it cannot be added to or deleted unless he leaves the Inn and re-enters -- then *that* is what he has.
Lemme try to explain, for those of you who don't know this (and don't want to learn the hard way, as I did); This is especially pertinent for those of us who bring along pack mule characters, to sit in the Inn and give us inventory space without stealing our experience: Let's say Steve enters the inn carrying Kerah's Sword; Mike is already in the Inn, with nothing but a Serpin Coin in his Inventory. Steve adds Mike, gives him Kerah's Sword, and removes him. Upon adding Mike again, Steve sees nothing but a Serpin Coin in Mike's inventory... WTF HAPPENED TO KERAH'S SWORD?!?
Well, it went to the same place everything else that's lost in the Inn goes to: D.W.'s house.
The solution to the Inn bug: transfer inventory items and LEAVE the Inn, then re-enter. NOW whatever is in their inventories will stay there. This is the reason the Gold Cheat works; whatever gold they entered the Inn with is what stays in their inventory during that stay in the Inn, no matter how many times they give it to someone else.
