Most people struggle to farm gold for their epic mounts, enchants and such, however a player on the German realms has managed to reach the gold limit in World of Warcraft - 214,748 Gold 36 Silver and 46 Copper.The German player remains anonymous but he reveals that his earnings has been made only by trading troughout the last three years. The cap has also been confirmed by a game master, although the SK leader Andreas "bds" Thorstensson had a little bit more details on this random number:
"Why is this random figure the gold cap? Because they most likely store the data in a 32 bit signed integer, which has a maximum size of 2147483647. So the actual cap could potentially be 214748 gold, 36 silver and 47 copper, or they use that last byte for something else."
A screenshot of the game master conversation (in German) and his gold can be found here.

Tyram. It might just be a random german word, but it might be his name. Any german that care to comment? The Armory seems down so I can't check myself either.

Didn't work :P
I hope this works.
Anyways he got 300k g in his bank and is aiming for a million g before he quits.
Imo having a lot of gold is nice, but one can get carried away it seems. Whats the point of having over 20.000 g anyway? I'd start selling gold.
Anyway it's nice to see someone reaching the cap, however I'm very glad it's not me.
I'm quite sure it affects his school/work whatever.
If the guy has great marketing skills, buying stuff from Auctionhouse for a small price, and selling it for a bigger price. You can make tons of money, without spending 24/7 after your pc.
that the screenshot, was on the realm "blood legion"
right before the sunwell release i made over 10k in a few weeks with just checking the AH daily
