As you know, on August 6th, we put some preliminary changes to the Vendors on Test Center. These changes are part of the commodity server enhancements that we have pushed out. We apologize for any anxiety you may have experienced, but I’m glad to announce we’ve been able to make some good changes to the Vendor limits. While we can’t make the Vendor limits aggregate, we have doubled the number of Vendors merchants can acquire and also increased the amount of Artisan Vendors.

The revised Vendor limits are as follows:

Artisan Business III: Get (1) Vendor, that will hold (100) items, for a total of (100) items for all vendors

Artisan Business IV: Get (2) Vendor, that will hold (100) items, for a total of (200) items for all vendors

Merchant Novice: Get (3) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (750) items for all vendors

Merchant Management I: Get (4) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (1000) items for all vendors

Merchant Efficiency I: Get (5) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (1250) items for all vendors

Merchant Management II: Get (6) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (1500) items for all vendors

Merchant Efficiency II: Get (7) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (1750) items for all vendors

Merchant Management III: Get (8) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (2000) items for all vendors

Merchant Efficiency III: Get (9) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (2250) items for all vendors

Merchant Management IV: Get (10) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (2500) items for all vendors

Merchant Efficiency IV: Get (11) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (2750) items for all vendors

Master Merchant: Get (12) Vendors, that will hold (250) items, for a total of (3000) items for all vendors

As I read down the list I kept looking for the limit increases that would allow me to have a *single* "Furnishings" vendor. I didn't see them. So now I'll need to figure out a "logical" way to break my furnishings vendor into 2-3 pieces. I don't mind paying the extra maintenance for the additional vendors, but this *absolutely* adds to my workload and makes the customers work harder also. So for both me and my customers this "game" that is supposed to be fun got a little more "drugery" added to it. As the game approaches the physical world in its "administrivia", it becomes less fun. At some point it isn't fun enough to continue.

This could be OK as long as they release it in steps.

Yes, how is this going to be implimented? What happens to vendors that currently have 500+ items on them?

From what I've read so far, any vendor over the limit will remain but you will not be able to add anything new to the vendor. However, if anything expires during that time, you'll still only have 7 days to remove it from the vendor before it disappears.

As a Master Merchant, this shouldn't be too bad. You can put additional vendors up and start transfering. However, this gets trickier if you only have Novice Merchant or Business 3/4.
