Yeah, I had the same problem.

I make about 480g every 5 minutes now with 3 houses, a shitload of gypsy trailers, and some stalls, but I don’t get squad if I turn off my xbox, and go to bed.

There is a cap. When Im playing I earn about 5000 every 5 mins. When i turn off and go to work for 8 hrs, I get about 50 – 60 K

Kaya- that’s the whole point of the commercial mechanics behind the game. You won’t be getting gold dropped when you slay hobbes and other monsters. There might be some from killing bandits or waylaying merchants, but they’re putting a level of realism in by not giving creatures that have no need for human money piles of gold to drop.

lol although this is a cool idea, it’s probably the most un-realistic way to earn gold. I mean honestly don’t you think we’ll have a better change finding a couple gold off a some hobes than making interest when time is frozen? It would be realistic if the game itself continued on while you weren’t playing, but that’s not the case.

And yes, lets hope there’s a small limit on it. I wouldnt want to go on vacation for a week come back and find that my character just made enough in interest to buy the town. Even at 1 gold every min, that’s still over 10,000 gold a week. o.0

I doubt there will be a cap, seems too much computing power is required in the game to catergorize the total earnings for a set amount over a course period. I love the idea of being rewarded when not playing, sort of similar to the bonus experience you get while resting in World of Warcraft. This is definitely going to be a great game with a huge bag of surprises that I couldn’t even imagine from playing the first Fable.

but i remember an interview with Peter M saying it was going to limited to a point. So you can’t turn off your game for 2 months and still be acquiring profit. I’m thinking more like one week or a few days. Not sure
