Yesterday my friend accepted one of these new scrolls of resurrection to get a free lvl 80 etc. To his surprise when he logged into the new character it was GOLD CAPPED! 999999g 99s 99c. He immediately dispursed the gold accross three seperate accounts (the safest way we knew how, being exploiters). Bought every mount on the ah and stored some of it in a guild bank after filtering it through three others.
2 hours later I personally recieved the email below..... and my two other friends recieved similar ones. We logged in to find all the gold and items gone.. but no ban or restriction was put into effect.
Just wanted you guys to know this seems to be fairly unknowns still and it is no longer working, and for some reason it didnt happen to everyone BUT IT DID HAPPEN!
this is why blizzard was having all the shutdows and server issues last night.
Just thought you guys would get a LOL out of this.
This is not a troll.. I am just sharing what I know.
That is why I screenshotted the email rather than copypasta
ENJOY!

Money Removed: 134,000 gold
Recently an issue caused a large amount of money to be added to various characters on an account on your realm. Upon review it appears that a substantial amount of gold and items were provided to characters on your account. These gains have been removed as well as any mounts, pets, or profession patterns that were gained with the gold.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
