Hi gang /wave
Just spotted this on my Launchpad:
***Update Notes September 25, 2004***
Vendors: Changed the vendor turnover time from 14 days to 100 days.
...does that mean we won't have to restock every 5 minutes 
& what effect will this have on the new vendor deletion routines???
& what effect will this have on the new vendor deletion routines???I can't find a relevant poston the 'In Live' board as yet. Here's hoping it's all good stuff, I'd like to see the 'to-stockroom' time increased to 100 days and the other new rules remain as they are to clear up empty/rarely used vendors.
Thoughts?
Kisses

That's always been one of my biggest pet peevs is finding a vendor on a map going to his shop to find it empty. Glad this is somewhat getting fixed

that is a reference to the timer by which vendors with stock on them can get deleted. they say it is being switched from 14 days to 100 days. that is what people on the merchant forums are assuming. But they've been very tight lipped about this issue so it is hard to say. they've changed that timer twice already (according to the patch notes) in the last two weeks, but I keep getting email warning about my vendors that are inconsistent with whatever the patch notes currently claim the "timer" to be set to. whatever they set the timer to, I'm worried that the timer may not even be working anyway. /sad

that is most definitely already fixed. empty vendors are removed from the ctrl-v map as soon as the server sees they are empty. I think thatat least one player has to have observed the empty vendor before the server will notice it is empty and remove it from the map but I am not sure about that last point.

My personal experience has been that the momentI remove all items from a vendor,I get a system e-mail stating that the vendor is now empty and has been removed from the overhead map.Ihave thenhad to restock and reregister the vendorto get itto show on the map again. This has also happened in testing where I had my wifes char buy the last item off the vendor and the same exact thing happened.
