Understood and not a problem. And yes, I remember well how it was in the old days - except then it was usually your hard-won captured wep that you had to entrust to a stranger, not cash.

Once again, this was and is not an issue for me. I assumed that it was a legitimate requirement and thought no more about it until I was advised to report it - so I did. With regard to researching the Wiki, it is my experience from 25 years as a tech support professional that end users do not enjoy doing extensive research when they experience what they perceive to be a problem. It is very important (at least to them) that a search on exactly what they are experiencing provides them with immediate feedback - which is why I made the comment that I did about non-searchable material like screen shots.
However, all of the above aside, the only reason this is an issue for anyone is that there is a conflict between the goal of preventing potential abuse by players who hide wealth, and that of encouraging new users who often find it helpful to transfer cash between chars in order to develop each char. Why not leave the bank out of it entirely and use the functionality built into FL Hook to transfer cash strictly between chars? That way, wealth is affecting the level of at least some char somewhere. Or is that also considered abuse here?

From the README for F L H O O K version: 1.6.7:

/sendcash <charname> <amount>
Sends <amount> of credits to <charname>. Charges a tax set in the ini to the sender.

I have now read the thread from the beginning of the year, and I now understand the logic behind it. I apologize for taking up people's valuable time. However, one final point - I would have found my answer by myself if the text string of the error had existed on the forums anywhere. Folks, screen shots are not searchable. Now that I have posted the error involved in clear text, other newcomers will be able to discover the answer to this far more easily.

I had never questioned it until a pilot advised me to deposit cash if I wanted to keep my player level down to avoid taxes or other challenges while I was learning the server. So apparently it is not an issue for some...

I cannot deposit cash from any char. When I try, I get the message: "Deposit cancelled. 65.000.000$ must remain on char!"
Has anyone else encountered this? I searched on "Deposit cancelled" and came up blank.
