DUST Search - [BUG] corporation creation

Hi,

The way this works is when you try to create a corporation money gets taken aside while the corporation creation is in progress.

If the creation of the corporation fails that money gets repaid.
I have checked the account history of both the persons in this thread and this is what is happening, no money is being stolen.

What might have been happening which caused the concern of the people involved is this.

scenario A

person A has just enough money to create a corporation and tries to create a corporation.
money gets removed and a notification from the server tells the client he now has less money.
person A gets an error on creating the corporation and the server repays the money to person A's account.
Before the server has the chance to inform the client of the new balance change Person A tries to create a corporation again, but now the client thinks it doesn't have enough money to do the transaction.

scenario B

The notification from the server of the new balance is not being delivered to the client . This would be a defect and would cause the client to think it actually has less/more ISK then it actually does. But as the server is the authoritative source on the ISK balance no ISK would be missing, but some client logic might fail( dont bother the server with a request if we think we don't have enough ISK to complete the transaction).

[b] as a final note: i was able to make the corporation today. before i was using ISK that was transfered to my account. today i earned the 1.6 million ISK through battles with the account i wanted to make the corporation with. as a result i was able to create the corp.[/b[ so, evidently using transfered ISK won't work you need to earn the ISK you are going to use to make the corporation.
