Folks, late last night we built a merchant tent in our new city. I added maintenance to it for 2 weeks. I then created a vendor in it. I added maintenance to the vendor for 1 month. Then I went to the City Hall and increased the property taxes to 1% (I'm also the mayor). When I came back to the merchant tent then VENDOR HAD POOFED.


I didn't try to replicate the problem, and thankfully the vendor was empty when it poofed.But it did have 10,000cr in maintenance on it. I have already /bugged this, but wanted to post here so people would be warned to be very careful about merchant tents.

Same thing happened to me, but the vendor did however happen to pop back up a few minutes later. But now when I go inside a structure it seems that the vendor will be gone when I go back to it. But if I stay in the tent for a bit she will pop back up.


Hopefully they fix this problem soon.

I noticed that everything is taking a few seconds longer to load when coming into a structure now. I had to stand in my naboo house almost a minute before my furniture/vendors popped up. I almost panicked when I went to the mall and everything was gone.. Took about 90 seconds for that stuff to show up. So, I dont think its just merchant tents, I think all structures are loading very slowly.

Common bug. I had a vendor disappear for 2 days. It returned thank goodness. Its not related to this month's patch, if you run a search in the merchant forum you'll see that it's happened to quite a few people. Such an odd bug though, happens completely randomly and occassionaly only for the owner as the customers can still see the Vendor

You folks were right, this was just a display bug. Neither me nor 2 guildmates could see it when it poofed, but the next day it had come back.

Same problem here on Talus/Chilastra. I placed my tent earlier today, the vendor poofed/disappeared, so I destroyed the tent and re-deeded later in the day. I have two vendors in the newly established tent...but only with low-grade items for now...Although the new tent is functioning ok for customers, I have lost 1 of my 6 vendors...Hopefully, not for good ! I currently have 3 vendors in my house and 2 in the tent...


I tried a CSR/bug report, but it says I maxed out when I have no live tickets...?


Is my 6th vendor history and does anyone have any advice ?


Oh joy, another set of bugs; as if we didn't have enough!


Thanks !
