[BANKS] WARNING to all new players!
Stration:
You might not know this, but your money is not safe in any of the banks. The banking system is designed to collapse, just like it did before the recent wipe, and during the last CBT.
Proof:
What happened the last session:
http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=15278.0
(pay attention to the reply one of the developers gave; do a forum search if you are interested in reading more, the keyword is 'withdraw,' there are many more topics full of outraged players)
An even more recent (CBT) banking system collapse:
http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=19280.0)
(Closed Beta Test of the current version of F2238 started: around November 08, 2011; banks started to go down: November 13, 2011, just 5 days later)
To keep your money safe, store it in a container in your tent (do not use slaves/brahmins for that, as they are currently bugged and tend to disappear randomly).
Only use a bank account if you do not have a tent, and as soon as you get one, withdraw all your assets and put them you know where.
UPDATE: one of the veterans of the community was willing to share his insight into the situation. It appears that the banking system never actually worked; click the spoiler button below for a short excerpt.

GroeneAppel:
You do realize, that this behavior is what causes a bank collapse? Banks run on trust. the moment banks lose this trust, and people withdraw money the banks collapse. This thread looks like an attempt to cause chaos really.
Besides that, perhaps banks shouldnt give out any interrest. For the sake of keeping things working.
JovankaB:
The collapse happened when people had hundreds of millions of caps if banks.
Although I don't know what happened on CBT I think money should be safe for some time.
But I don't use bank anyway.

Be my guest then, go ahead and place your trust in the system that has failed twice already and is bound to fail again, you nimrod. 0/10.

You don't use the banks? Gee whiz! Of course you don't, you lost millions of caps like all of us the last session (didn't you?). If you still used banks, that would mean you're retarded, but apparently you aren't! Congratulations!
Seriously, guys, I specifically addressed this topic to *new* players, didn't I? Please don't confuse them by using statements such as "money should be safe for some time." No! It's not safe unless it's in your tent!

Which you can rob.
It's forum. It serves free talk. Everybody have right to voice unless he's breaking some of the forum rules. Even if thread is aimed to the new players everybody have right to say something. Beside that you sounds like an arsonist. We really don't need any flame in discussions.
Oh almost forgot 1/10 for making me respond. AmIDoinItRiteGuyz?
