Hey guys, just letting you know beforehand that there will be a few updates/changes regarding Gil and Bank once the shop opens up next week.
Bank will be permanently closed down. This feature is not necessary now that Interest is no longer functional. We also want to make use of the Gil leaderboard in the vBCredits page, but for the time being it doesn't reflect the Top 10 richest users accurately because there's still Gil in the Bank.
With that said, we are giving members one week (from the time the shop opens) to pull out some of that Gil from the Bank, as long as it meets one condition: the maximum Gil that members should have in their 'wallet' is 5,000 Gil. From there, users can start earn their way up again. These changes will take effect on August 1st. Anyone with over 6k will receive a manual adjustment.
Now, we know this doesn't seem like a reasonable amount, but after doing some major changes in the shop, having 10k-100k in our banks is an overkill. We did a manual reset a few years ago with members who had over 500,000 Gil and brought down to 50,000 Gil... but with prices now dropping and members who still used the interest feature for a year before it was disabled, the Gil system needs some sort of reset in order to make our shop work as intended. We are also keeping our weekly contests (SOTW/GSC) in mind and make everything (from prizes right down to participation) worth it again. We need a fresh start.
For those who are not on board with the reset, we deeply apologize. We are willing to compensate in some way and members can choose between two options: a colored username (30 days) or additional 500 Gil.
We hope that with these changes, there will be better features and incentive for new and old members alike.

If you want you can actually transfer some of the Gil in the Bank so that we won't have to adjust it later. 
Left 4K in my wallet and put the rest in the Bank to be disabled soon.
Too many items I will want for later.
