I just had two vendors poof.

Checking a third vendor it was just about to be destroyed.

Has there been an increase in how much money goes into NPC vendors? I know they've never been working right, but I didn't really expect them to disappear (and their stock! and the 89k units of power that was offered on them 30 minutes ago!)

Help!

There has been no maintence increase.

NPCs have always used up maintence. 0 maintence doesn't literally mean 0. It means 0.134 or something (numbers plucked from the sky, but you get the idea). If you never pay them any maintence, it will take a long time for them to degrade and vanish, but it will happen. Always pay them.

Sometimes the maintence pool empties due to bugs, apparently. It's not ever happened to me. So check them everyday to check they still have money in the maintence pool. It only takes a few seconds to check, and can save a lot of anguish.

From looking at the maintenance consumption yesterday and today, my NPC vendors are using 16cr/day.

I've already posted on this previously but here goes again. My vendor is charging me 274 credits since the last patch. That is almost 10k a day. It was 1 prior to the patch. I'm very frustrated since I rarely sell 10k a day worth of items...therefore will have to stop the sales business all together.

I've tried getting an answer as to why this has happened but have had no luck. I've tried deleting my vendor and starting a new one...same new insane fees occur.

I have a bulky vendor with about 60 items on it. This doesn't appear to be happening to everyone.

That happens to all bulky vendors, you just happened to get lucky and have a bugged one previously that got unbugged in the patch or somethin. Only NPC's have the 1/0cr maintanence, bulkies are based on numberofitems/1000 or something strange.

Maint is based on total price of all items / 1000.
