    Yesterday, while playing LORD, I found a not-so-useful shortcut key.

    If you forget that you are in the forest, and then accidentally use the "B"
    key to go to the Bank (instead of "Y"), your characters does something unexpected that summons a vulture and has a negative affect on whatever gold you happen to be carrying on you at the time.

    Oooops-a-dooops! :D

    that's the key for putting your gold in the bank, dude.

    HitPoints: (20 of 20) Fights: 55 Gold: 1,079,558 Gems: 0
    The Forest (L,H,R,Q) (? for menu)

    Your command, Pure Evil? [176:28] : B


    You throw your gold pouch up into the air gleefully.

    AN UGLY VULTURE GRABS IT IN MID AIR!


    the bank:

    Deposit Gold Transfer Gold
    Withdraw Gold Return to Town

    Gold In Hand: 0 Gold In Bank: 1,079,558
    The Bank (W,D,R,T,Q) (? for menu)

    That's actually a very useful shortcut... The vulture deposits that gold
    into your bank account for you. ;-)

    Oh nice! And all this time I thought you had to exit the forest to go to
    the bank and make a deposit. I guess if you want to keep some of your gold
    and not deposit it all, you still should do that.

    I somehow had never caught onto that. I guess it is good so long as you
    want it all deposited. I just figured, with it being an ugly vulture, that
    the money was gone. ;)

    Haha, yep I guess even ugly vultures and be kind (and thrifty)!

    I use that key a lot, as a way to safely deposit money in case I am unexpectedly killed, without having to "exit" the forest and get to the
    bank (and then back to the forest). Big time-saver.
