went up warning players that modders can now drain their in-game cash. Several players I spoke to explain that the reported exploit works by increasing the frequency of your camp upkeep fee from every hour to every second. As you can see in the video below from Zerdical, the fee on the mid-right keeps ticking up.

Red ***** Online has two forms of currency, though - cash, which is earned in-game, and gold bars that can be bought for real money. I ask Zerdical if the exploit could be used to drain gold as well as your in-game money. "Only cash that you have earned," they explain. "What these modders have done is loop your in-game daily fees, which only takes away cash. I can't say for certain, but from my knowledge of Red ***** Online gold cannot be drained."
