Merchant Archive

Suggestion: Have a PA friends check to see if vendor is listed in Planetary map. If not have the visit your vendors and use them once. This will initialize them an register on planetary map.

our new correspondent needs to make this known to the devs IMMEDIATLEY. in my opinion this is a load of crap!!!!!!! what is the point of advertising if someone has to actually enter ur store and let ur vendor spawn to have it show up on the map. correct me if im wrong but wasnt this bug the biggest problem on our weekly lists from our old correspondent? and then we were all told it would be fixed and this board got so much happier. but now u still have to run all the way back to ur store and let ur vendors spawn. im really considering dropping merchant. and i just achieved master a week ago.

It has already been reported. It is also believed to be the same reason the Merchant XP is so screwy since the patch. This issue and the initialization problems have been brought to the devs attention and I"ll continue to hound them about it until I get something on it.

great doc thanks. also u may want to put up a warning post to merchants. because this is an easy bug to miss, especially if u spend a lot of time around ur store ur vendors will spawn and you'll be ok. but if u cant play for a couple days and/or decide to go off planet for an extended period of time then ur vendor won't get it's listing unless someone happens to wander by and go into ur store. there a couple people i talked to in game who didnt know about this and now they know only cuz i told them. so it might be good to let everyone know based on the sneakiness of this bug.
