Gold de spawns in town..

I was getting read to do a gambling binge.
Dropped 8 stash tabs of max gold, and a 94 chars max gold and an 88 chars max gold next to

Gheed. left one there to keep game open while the other went to find

Edge Bow and highest RVP Gheeds..

When I rejoined with the first account all the gold was just gone - disappeared after a few minutes.
Game always had someone in it in A1 near Gheeds / stash.

Unfortunate, haha

Just letting people know so the same doesn't happen to them

Bad luck! At least it was only gold.
Most items have a 10 minute limit when left on the Ground, then they poof. Magic items and runes get a bit longer I think

Afaik gold should stay there quite a while: https://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Things_y ... _ground.3F
Maybe they changed it or it only stays there if the char who dropped it stays ingame?
