There are absolutely no changes regarding the Merchant Tents in this publish.

Sorry i couldn't really find any info on merchant tents in the stickies up top. But here is my understanding:

1. You need Eff 4 just to drop the tent.
2. You can drop Eff 4 afterwards and still keep the tent.
3. You can transfer ownership of the tent to another player that does *not* have eff 4 with no issues.


If this is right, then after pub 10 non of this will change?

You can not transfer a merchant tent to someone who isn't qualified to place one.

3 is true. I just did it personally yesterday with no problems - altho i don't think it worked that way originally.

You can NOT transfer a merchant tent to a player without Effiency IV. If you try you get " is not able to own this structure"

Interstingly enough take note that it says OWN not place
And Yes this is recent I just tried it just this second on Starsider.

1 and 2 are true, but 3 isn't, I'm sure of that.

And thanks doc for answering my question : no changes.

I'm sorry to say that you can't transfer a merchant tent to someone who doesn't have efficiency 4. You will get a message saying that the person is unable to own the tent. As mayor of a city I have done this so I know this from personal experience of actually doing this.

After pub 10 goes live I doubt that people who own merchant tents but have dropped efficiency 4 will lose their tents as they own the structure. I wish that they would make it so that char skills would be checked and if a person doesn't have the skills to own a tent that they would get an ingame system email telling them they have 2 wks to clear out their tent and redeed it or it will go poof. This would make the game more "real" and "fair" for those who have kept the skill pts to have merchant tents and other merchant skills.

I don't think this wlll happen but it really should.
