Yep.. It happens regularly on Sunrunner. However, re-registering my vendor seems to temporarily correct this problem


I have pretty much "confined my MDE to quarters"... until this newly resurfaced bug is corrected.

Should Sony and Lucas Arts be worried? (15000 users * 5 accts = ~$13MIL in potential lost gross annual revenue) If I were the CEO for either LA or SOE, I would certainly be worried.

I've had the same problem. I was off looking for resources when and looking at the planetary map when I realized that mine were gone as well. I quickly ran back to my shop and discovered, no, I actually had paid my maintenance recently.

It's been like that for months now. I believe it's related to also not getting merchant xp until the vendor is loaded into the world.


The vendor needs to be loaded into the world after a restartbefore anything related to it updates, including xp or registration.

I believe this is by design. If you head to the Merchant forum and take a look at their FAQ, you'll see it spelled out very clearly: the vendor won't show up on the planetary map until it is drawn in the world by being in proximity to a player character.

I have noticed a problem with my vendors lately. Specifically, they disappear from the planetary map every night and don't reappear until I log in and visit each building to force the building's contents to appear, then use each vendor.


Is anyone else experiencing this? Wasn't this supposed to have been fixed a few patches ago?


It has probably been happening for a long time and I just didn't notice because I was playing so regularly. I have a lot less time to play now, so I have suddenly noticed that my vendors aren't showing up like they should be.


And yes, I have Advertising III(I actually have Ad IV) and the vendors are all properly registered. I have even tried de-registering and re-registering them to no avail.
