There are two parts to the nerf.


The first part is removing vendors from thosewho no longer havethe skills to have them. That is also the reason.


The second part is restricting the number of items merchants can list. SOE has not given us a reason for that.

Actually, they have. Has to do with the database. It's a bogus reason, but it's the one they gave.

It might be because its taking alot of server space (maybee they are runningout of it), they were not planning on vendors haveing 5000+ items like mysellf.

Look up database in seach. The reason behind this whole thing was to help solve a database issue (to much on it basically). I'll find you a link as soon as I can.

I'm actually hoping that's the reason. If it is, it's clearly a case of tragic incompetence on the devs' part.


Of course, if they're nerfing down item counts to "tweak" the economy, that's yet more tragic incompetence...


Guess it doesn't matter the reason they give, either way the real reason is the devs are retarded.






Doc had it in one of his earlier posts. I went to find it from my pasts posts, couldn't. So clicked on history, the page, and got it had been deleted.


This was the link [Deleted]
