The DEVs are currently working on a significant change to the Database system that is supposed to help out with server wide stability, more then likely in the preparation for JtLs release in the next few months.
Test Center had a complete hardware change out so that TC-Ahazi and TC-Bria could be brought online to perform a major stress test. From the information that I have read, this back end changeshouldfixa lot of possible Database issues. Tie this in with the new Vendor Limits and we start to see a bigger picture of major plans in the works to try and make each server a little more stable for the future.
on a side note: do you have some insight Drashk into why the vendor changes are also including a vendor count down nuke timer that will delete a non-empty vendor if the owner has not updated the inventory in 14 days? During all the debate leading to publish 10 regarding the vendor changes this was not mentioned (well they mentioned deleting abandoned vendors but they never said that non-empty vendors that are making good sales but which haven't had an item in their inventory updated by the ownerin the last 14 days would be considered abandoned ! 
).
).I became aware of this when I started getting emails warning that my lesser used vendors are going to be deleted. The vendors in question have inventory on them and have recently made sales, but I haven't added or relisted anything on those vendors since publish 10 came around. It's a hot topic on the merchant forums, but our DE contacts here are sometimes clearer in explaining things or quicker to figure out what is going on so I thought I'd ask.

Downloaded the geocities one last night to compare the two.
They are quite similar in functionality, and they both have things I like, so a combination of the two would be nice.
Hence, I am going to try and persuade our guildie to do some work on his version, see if we can get one superb program out of it.
Personally, I prefer my guildies version, but then I am biased.!!
