hi there


i have a question .. i simply dunno what to do ...


i have 2 chars ...


luficer:m merchant, m ws, m arti, 2xx4 armorsmith, scout 1xxx

bonghead: okee he is a bit of everything .. not important i guess



anyway with luficer i have 12 vendors ... 1 personal storage vendor, 1 guild storage vendor, 10 sale vendors


then the other day i decided to grind bonghead for m architect, so i flew out at bought 600k of ore and 1 crafters apron and put it in a backpack


then i dropped the backpack in my guild hall where my personal vendor and the 10 sale vendors are ...


then i after a day or two decided to put the backpack in my personal storage vendor and thought everything was fine ... then two days after when i wanted to grind bonghead my backpack was gone!??!?! i looked on all my chars ... nothing there ... i looked in the house .. nothing there?!?!

well i just thought wth .. oh well maybe someone stole it or maybe i was drunk or something the other day...



then this morning i had like 2 bps with resources, 1 bp with mineral harvs, 1 bp with flora harvs, 1 bp with chem harvs, 1 with water harvs, 1 with fusion harvs, 1 with gas harvs and then 1 empty one on the floor in the gh ... so i decided to put these on my storage vendor (with luficer) cuz maybe the 2 other ppl i have in my gh as admins stole it (im 100% sure they didnt now) and everything was just fine, so i decide to go to MO Starport to spam a bit about my vendor..then i open another swg (2 in total) and bonghead logs in at the gh and boink all the backpacks i just putted on the vendor was suddently on the floor???? W T H i think ...


so i flew back with luficer and then he could see them on the floor too and i thought uhm weird .. checked on the vendor and whats this? they are still on the vendor too?? i begin to think "oh no i didnt dupe anything .. oh no oh no" ... so i try to withdraw sale on the vendor for one of the bps (mineral bp afair) and then retrieve item ... and it says "blabla u have retrieved" and i thought to myself hmm 2xthe harvs kewl ... but then i check my inventory and nothing was in my inventory????


then i immediatly walk over to my backpacks on the floor and pick up the mineral package and *pwew* they were there ...


so i just withdraw all my backpacks from the vendor and poof poof poof poof they all disappear in my inventory, but luckily they are on the floor of the guildhall ... so just too be sure i pickup both resource bps and the flora harvs and just put them on the floor again ...


so now all my bps are on the floor in the guildhall and im thinking kewl ... but now i have to go to work so i exit both games and thinks nothing more of it


then i get home again like 9 hours later and i discover that those harvest packs i DIDNT check before login out are gone .. so thats gas, chem,fusion bps which are gone .. thats like 2m of credits just disappeared!?!??!


now my question to u ppl is ...


WHAT SHALL I DO?!?!?!

Have ANY of u ppl experienced the same?!?!?!

Yes I have exprienced the part I quoted, above. Very scary! Luckily, a relog of my chars "solved" it.


A week or so ago, I lost a heavy harvester that I placed on Naboo. I dropped it on a spot, but it didn't leave my inventory. That happens sometimes, so I re-dropped it. Well, TWO harvesters then left my inventory, but only one was placed! I never reported it, and hoped that both were actually somehow overlaying each other on that spot, and that maybe after I picked one up, the other would magiaclly be there on that spot.


Well, it wasn't. So there went a 100K harvester + about 20K maintand 10K power (I always have around that much or more left in them).


/sigh

I know there are a lot of you out there who are thinking this, but i'm gonna be the first one to say it

Don't hold your breath

When it comes to replacing items and credits and such, it's usally better just to kiss it goodbyw and move on. In some rare situations they will replace stuff, but 90% of the time, they won't.

Also you might wanna try moving your guild hall, It might be on a server boundry, which causes things like that to happen (they your items may re-appear in a few days on their own too)

When my items vanished the response was log out with a COMPLETE empty inventrory, it did get some items back but not all, if not like the above

poster says I cant see you having much luck.


Hope you get them back, and would guess that like I was it's because your on the server boundry and if so the only

fix is to move.

This was back in april when there where NO vendor item limits. I e-mailed and talked to several csr's and all i ever got the same stock response as seen in my sig. Its why i quit the game for 5 months.

You are allowed, as a master merchant, to have 12 vendors. It is a recent change. Unfortunately, having problems with vendors is not a recent change, but has been an exciting part of the merchant gameplay since the beginning. We are encouraged to think of it as the immersive part of being part of StarWars, perhaps akin to having items stolen from our businesses, breakins, fires, earthquakes, and plagues. When items disappear from vendors and backpacks, the CSR'S, who seemingly cannot read Sony's own logs about such things, quite often accuse us of making things up, lying, cheating, and being ugly (OK, I made up the ugly part). Such a truly satisfying game experience, yes indeed.

Don't let the negative AFKophobes get you down. Play the game however you want.

Is the beta testing almost over for this game?

I've had the same thing happen in the past with packs disappearing from inventory after removing them from vendors. Don't expect the CSRs to be too helpful with this (go figure). They did all appear again after a few days and a few server resets.
