this is getting anoying,if the master merchants and other elite proffessions had this much of a problem with their vendors hell fire would fall from the sky hahaha.

seriously i pay maintinence and initialize it.check the initialize tab again and it doesnt show.check status says its functioning properly.but go to access it and it says its not innitializing.this is not making me very happy.

Doesn't help. Putting money in it or not makes no difference. I haven't been able to use a veder in weeks.

I saw this on another thread, it works....maybe not the first time, but it works.

Create vendor

Set in place

*do not rotate it, or move it*

Initialize it

Initialize it again

check "use" option

If ok, pay maintenence.

=)

OK, this is and ola bug. Try This:

1.- If you have already placed the vendor retrieve your money and destroy it afterwards.

2.- Create a new vendor and place it whereever you want.

3.- Initialize it (yes, whithout placing money)

4.- Check the menu again, you'll see that the 'Initialize' option is still there, but now you have to put some maintenance instead. After putting some money you'll see that the 'Initialize' option vanishes.

5.- Use the vendor, it should work. Otherwise it might be a new bug after the patch, so you can create a ticket using the Holocron.

Hope it helps

This doesn't work either.

OMG! I was just about to post about this. I can't get my vendor to initialize either! what a shame!

Same problem here. Tried to do as obeewan wrote, but i didn't work either...Have sent och ticket så hopefully the problem will get fixed anytime in the future

My wife and I placed vendors this morning and received the same error message.Tried several different approaches but ended the same way.No matter what type or what actions we take the vendor will not initialize.

Checking the status says the vendor is operating normally,but you can't access it to place anything for sale.Typical SOE patch !! Now do we have to wait til the next MONTHLY(read 2 month) patch to get this fixed ??

Now for a lil rant.Why is it that they have changes on Test for so long that are so borked when they go live ??did speeders not store on test ?? and if so then what happened when the code went live ?? Do they have to make seperate code to work on the live servers,because if so,then what is the sense of having test center ??Seems logical that if it worked on test then they would just export that code to live servers and it should work exactly the same.Now if it doesn't then maybe they need to bring Test center to the same code used on live servers,so that the supposed testing going on will be relevant to the majority of the payers.

With each major patch we get dished out 2 to 3 times the amount of bugs they supposedly fix and I have to say it's getting a bit old.They could hold off for a year on new patches and try to fix all the current bugs and I doubt they would get to them all in that amount of time.But I believe this is preaching to the choir,so to speak,because nobody from SOE will ever comment on this and I know all of the players here on the boards know this every bit as well as myself.

Hello All,

You can get the vendors to work if you just destroy the non-functioning one, and create a new one and initialize it....over and over till you get one to initialize....usually will work on 4th to 7th one created. Pain in the butt, but you will eventually get one to initialize.
