Merchant Archive

Last night I finally openened my shop. Today the retrieve bug was fixed and things were really going well. I logged of a couple of hours ago and when I logged back on, the house was gone! I had 2k of maint paid on the house 1K on the vendor and about 6Kworth of items on the vendor.

Worse, I place another house near the same spot. When I tried to create a vendor, it said I couldn't because I already had one! (I am only at Business III)

I have lost a lot of credits. And now my merchant character is gated because he has no way to get more merchant XP. I opened a ticket, but I have not received a response yet.

Sorry to hear that.. but don't worry about Merchant Ex. Nobody is getting much right now. We only get about 5 exp every hour or so.. i think i have alost 200 exp.. weeee!

Sorry to here that...good luck...I will place my home/shop tonight..hopes no bugs get it!

This is yet another very serious bug that shouldnt have made it out of Beta. It was reported, it should have been fixed before release in my opinion.

Cul

Good news on both fronts:
1) House reappeared - vendor and items inplace.
2) Got an email from a senior memember of the SWG team asking for info to troubleshoot.

That is the best that could be hoped for. And, I, for one am appreciative of the response.

Now about that merchant xp ...

They found the issue and a fix is supposed to go in tomorrow!

After tomorrow, houses should no longer poof. If they do, report it back on this thread and I'll send an email to the same person who contacted me.

I have to say, I was very impressed with how this was handled and the level at which it was handled. Though we may not always hear from them, they are on top of things.

Let's just hope merchant xp moves up a bit in that priority queue...

i had the same probleme , my house deseapear this morning !, i create a ticket from customer service.

but nothing for the moment. Hope i will got back the house too

Please let me know the exact location, server, and when it happened. The person who contacted me wanted me to email them on all occurances.

HOW can you poeple not be getting merchant XP im half way to Master Merchant now i dont get it my merchant xp is ROLLING in

Yes, post fix, merchant XP is great.

I am earning about 10K Merchant XP a day now.

man how are you two getting that much? I thought I was doing good getting 5K a day. lol

I am not sure yet how merchant xp is computed. Here is my situation.

I have 2 stores.
The older store has about 200 items on it. I sell about 30-50 a day. I accept 50-70 offers a day and restock.

I am still stocking up the newer store so it only has about 40 items on it. I sell about 15 items a day. I accept about 10 offers a day an restock from the store room and excess inventory I have carried from the other store.

Volume is increasing each day and the experience seemed to grow with the number of transactions (alltough there doesn't seem to be a direct relationship).

Also about 40% of my inventory is consumables and make up a good percentage of the daily turn.

No one ever offers me anything. I feel so not loved right now. =P
