Help: Bank
Banks can be found in many of the settlements around the world. Each bank
is controlled by the local government and may levy different fees or offer
different interest rates on deposited money. There is only one bank per
settlement. To discover the whereabouts of a local bank, type BANK, or
use BANKS to see the whereabouts of banks across the realm.
Why Bank?
There is no safer place for your hard-earned coins than the bank. Coins
can be stolen by other adventures and is often left behind on your corpse
should you have an untimely encounter with death. Banks are completely
secure and deposited money cannot be stolen from, ensuring your wealth is
protected from the consequences of day-to-day adventuring.
How to Open a Bank Account
To open in a bank account, you merely need to find a bank and make your
first DEPOSIT there. A bank account will be automatically opened for
you at that branch. It is possible to open multiple bank accounts and spread
your wealth across them. Remember, banks are controlled by the local
government and have nothing to do with one another.
From within the halls of a bank, you can use BANK STATUS to review their
local fees and interest rate, if any.
Deposits and Withdrawals
To interact with banked money, you can make deposits and withdrawls. Both
of these commands must be issued from within the halls of a bank.
BANK DEPOSIT <amt> Deposit the specified amount into your local account.
BANK WITHDRAW <amt> Withdraw the specified amount from your local account.
Transferring Funds
It is possible to transfer funds from your bank account to someone else's
account using BANK TRANSFER <amt> <recipient>. The funds must already be
deposited in your account to do this. If the recipient does not already have
an account at the local bank, one will automatically be created in their name
to hold the transfer amount.
Treasury Donations
For those feeling generous, it is possible to contribute your own funds to
the local treasury. You can do so using BANK DONATE <amt>.
