I have noticed something Doc. All my vendors are in merchant tents. The vendors I have spotted still on the map are all in buildings. Since none of mine are visable its possible the bug is with merchant tent Vendors

So can we expect a hotfix for this (since it is certainly devastating to my business) or will we have to wait weeks for some sort of mini-publish?

No we looked at that but the vendors appear to be in different structures. My own pet theory is that the map is cutting off the list after some number but that is just because it seems that different people get on the map based on when their vendors were first loaded.
So far nothing else has stood up to the test of examples we are seeing. It isn't just vendors either but whole cites (even static ones ) that are missing from the map.
I know they were looking at this yesterday. I haven't had an update yet today on it.

Please keep this thread devoted to describing the issues and the facts about them. I understand you are frustrated by it. I am pressuring for answers myself but at this point during a publish cycle the devs are generally far more dedicated to fixing the issues than talking about them. I don't accept that as a good thing but it is historically how it works.
I do expect that the map thing and the vendor count issue will be resolved with a hotfix but I don't have any dates or anything else, that is only an educated guess based on past experiences with this team.

I'm a Merchant 0,0,0,4 using a tent in a player city. I have 5 merchants (all placed pre-pub 10). I cannot restock since I'm told I have too many vendors. Of note, I see people saying they can create new vendors... I can do the same, but if I drop it and try to initialize it, I'm again told I have to many vendors (on selecting Initialize from the radial menu).

Same problem here......Master Merchant, three vendors with less than 200 items on each.....
None are on the map, I tried removing and re-registering one with no luck.They are in a my own house, on Starsider, and have been working well for many months.
It makes me wonder why this problem wouldn't show on TC but does on production servers. Do they even have a QA Dept?
I guess it's time to go into "Patch Mode" and not play until it's fixed and stable.
If the Devs can't getany patch to work, I have little hope for JTL or SWG to be fixed and funtional in the near future.
It makes me wonder why I should keep paying for a product that's never worked properly and probably never will.

In regards to the limited map theory, there are exactly 50 vendors on the list on Corellia on Chilastra. Would that be the limit? Is it the same on other servers?

Checked on my vendors last night. Master Merchant, 6 vendors under the limit. All operating normally.
Not registering on the planetary or overhead map. I am in a player city, and the rest of the city is showing up on the overhead. The other vendors in town that are normally registered are not showing up either. Tried to unregister and reregister with no effect.
Also having the vendors talking to each other as well as the customers.
On another character, one of the vendors was low on maintenance. Once maintenance was added I did recieve a system e-mail stating that my vendor was now operating normally. That's at least a plus....as opposed to structures that don't tell you they're being damaged until they have like 1% left.

Master Merchant, Kettemoor server, Naboo, near Kaadara, not in a player city
4 vendors in a house, 1 vendor in a merchant tent
Vendors are all either protocol droid or the fancy terminal
All vendors created and placed before Publish 10 came out, and all of them had showed up on planetary map and overhead map
Have had no problems with putting new items for sale
Maintenance seems to be fine
Cannot list on planetary map. All vendors had been listed before. Took them all off of the listing, and relisted, and they still do not show up. All of them listed under a different heading. None of them showing up on the overhead map, either.

I just checked on Naboo on Chilastra too, and that list is limited to 50 vendors in total (excluding the junk vendors) too.
So if we could get some confirmation from other servers, it seems each planet it being capped at 50 vendors, and it's first come first served to get on the list (or first loaded). I hope this is fixed soon, as it's annoying as it is to get have to travel to a remote vendor to load it up to be listed, now I have to race to be one of the first 50.

Hi LadyGrey,
I think what is also compounding our map issues is another map issue in the game that is unrelated to us. It seems its not only venders that no longer show on the map. I was doing some sight-seeing on Corellia last night and the whole city of Daoba Guerfel was missing along with their starport listing.
But with your new venders, have you noticed what your item limit is? I'm suspecting its stuck at the business 4 level, justa hunch. Have you loaded your new venders yet?
