I don't take it personally and you shouldn't either. Its not a matter or ignoring me its a matter of them being involved in getting a major expansion product ready to go live in 15 days.

I just hope it does not make a complete mess of the rest of the game.

Well..I'm still under NDA as is anyone else who has tested the game but I'm excited about the release and looking forward to playing JTL with my friends. I think there are a number of new revenue streams for merchants coming out of this expansion and overall I think its a positive step for the game as a while. And frankly its about time we got spaceships in a Star Wars game!

There is a thread from Tiggs in the In Live forum today stating that they are working on a fix for the "7 day item decay in the stockroom" I'm assuming this is talking about this issue but I don't have any confirmation yet.

For items that you withdraw or buy from (offered to you) vendor haveremaining days before withdraw + 7 days. So if it was 20 days remaining it will have 20+7 days in stockroom. items that fall off vendir have 0 remaining days so they will be 7 days.
But that's not what the holocron says. Far as I'm concerned the help files are what they should be bound to. If my stuff evaporates after 5 days, i should get my stuff back.
Uh yeah, my cargo pocket with my uber-tailor belt? gone. irretrievable.
It's not so much that this single issue is a game breaker, but rather the overwhelming multitude of small issues which make the game basically unplayable. I shouldn't have to work this hard at something that's supposed to be fun. Not able to transfer buildings, unreliable vendors (that worked fine before a "fix" was implemented), broken professions (bounty hunter? smuggler?) items that don't do what they're supposed to do. Blatant bias towards particular playing styles/professions. Exploits that never get fixed. the list goes on. I just can't see myself putting up with this for much longer. Much less recommending it to anyone. when was the last time you told someone "dude, buy SWG, it rocks!" a year ago? maybe longer?

I just got hit with this today and it basically is a game ender for me, months of crafting my highest end weapons and stock gone pooft. items started moving to stockroom on Oct 5th evening. I checked the decay timer and it was still the more then 25 days deal, yay have time to do this. thru the 7th or 8th I managed to put about 400-600 items back up for sale out of about 2k that moved to the stockroom, at which point while breaking from the click click click deal I ended up getting injured and spent till today flat on my back. I log in to find out the entire rest of my stockrooms EXPIRED. some of these things had only been in the stockroom for 4.5 DAYS!!! this is something I cannot recover from, many mnay months of work gone if there isn't a way to recover this lost stock thru CSR's, whom I submitted a ticket on this just now, its a huge honking lot of items gone poof in error. Very very upset at this.

Just an FYI, last night about50 items fell off one of my vendors due to the 30-day sell timeout. They all had 7 days on the stockroom timer.

I had about 15 items fall into the stockroom today and they all had a 30 day stockroom limit.
My theory is that items put on a vendor when the limit was 7 days are falling into the stockroom with 7 days left on them. Items falling into the stockroom that were listed after the limit was upped to 30 days are now falling into the stockroom with 30 days left on them.
From a programming perspective this makes no sense... but it does appear to be what is happening. I would expect the stockroom timer to be dynamic, being applied to an itemwhenit falls into the stockroom. Instead it appears that the amount of time an item will remain on the vendor is predetermined when the item is listed. Seems kinda backwards to me... but then I don't work for SOE...

It looks like they added 30 days to anything that was already sitting in the stockroom, too.
Some stuff that I had been holding in the stockroom 'til I could make room for suddenly had 54 days on the clock.

Confirmed.
I had 36 items fall to the stockroom overnight. They all have 30 days (well, 29+). Yay!
