Merchant Archive

Resetting planet ad is a piece of cake compared to retyping my pithy greeting over and over every day.

Both need to be fixed. I want to have my store self sufficient enough to do something wacky...like play the game and hunt!!! lol

This is an irritating problem, however, I have noticed that I get much more traffic when I am at the top of the list, than when I am in the middle or at the bottom.

When this is fixed, it would not be very fair having the person that was lucky enough to register their vendor first the day the bug-fix took effect to remain at the top of the listfrom then on. I would want the vendor list orderto be randomized (perhaps client side to make it easier on the servers) every time the planetary map is opened.

I think this would be fair to all merchants, new, old or otherwise.

Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with you and agree with Krantor on this one. I can live without advertising. Yes, it's nice, but there are other ways to advertise. What I can't live without is merchandise on the shelves. And at the moment, I just flatly can not keep the merchandise on the shelves. Period.

Even with one single shop, if I try to keep 500ish items in stock and only 20 or so of them sell per day (and honestly, that'd be a good day), then every freaking day I'll have to move 50ish items out of the stockroom and back into the for sale list. Each item has to be manually repriced.

If you're not getting bit by this, I must conclude one of two things: either you're not selling clothes, or you're only selling the seven items that everybody (who has no fashion sense) wants, and not keeping many of them in stock.

And to the person who said that merchants have nothing that someone with Business III doesn't have - how long has it been since you had to pay the maintenance on a Bulky Terminal? No, at the moment, the break-even point is Hiring 1, the first skill box at which you can keep things in inventory for more than a couple of days without losing money selling them.

Anybody could come up with ways to make Merchant cooler, it's a fool's game. The Merchant profession design blows, big time. But I can live with all of the missing features and bugs, but I can't live with having to spend half or more of my online time every freaking day just repricing my stock. Which is why, by Monday after next, there will be one less tailor shop on the Kettemoor server.
