The rule still stands, in that we'd like the transaction RP'd through a third party.
Also, a few notes about money and crates:
We prefer money not be left in crates for long periods of time. Use the banks. I believe the rules on muling say something to that effect. [LORE]Player Rules[/LORE]
There are issues (bugs) with adding and leaving more than fifty thousand true in a single crate/storage unit. Not only will the recording fail and return incorrect numbers, but you may in fact lose some of the gold. From what we've tested, as long as the amount remains below fifty thousand, no coin is lost and the reporting is accurate.
EDIT: Sneaky ole' Darkstorme beat me to the punch. :p
