Ok, so I was getting sooooooo ticked off at the bulky terminal / robo bartender thing. I was like, ok, maybe it doesnt like 2 words for some reason.. Made a vendor named TestVendor... it initialized and worked.. Deleted that one, made a 'test vendor' IT also worked.. Did it over and over again.. Made another one with the original name that I wanted, which had MY CHARACTER NAME in it... Placed it, init'd it and the dreaded 'not initialized error'.


How many people out here have used their CHARACTER NAME in ANY part of the vendor name? I know that I've done it about 10 times now and if my character name is there, it wont work. Havent tried other characters names, but a plain generic name worked.



Post here if you've noticed the same. Maybe I just got lucky, but I'm thinking that has something to do with it maybe? And most people put their names for part of the vendor.

I am getting the same error. Though with mine I named it not after my character and it gave me an error.


Here is the irony of my situation:


I named my vendor.. Chastity. Now I can't open her up. DOH! All my other vendors work though.

Maybe I just got lucky then, but about 10 in a row with my name, no luck, 5 or 6 without my name, fine, tried a few more with my name, no luck, dropped my name again, and it works. Just too wierd..

When I tried placing a NON-NPC Vendor I would get the error. The placed a NPC Vendor and did not get error. And then I would not get the error when placing NON-NPC Vendors again.


Odd.
