I have 4 vendors right now.. and im starting a fifth....

I wanna know if were gonna get warned about the upgrade on NPC vendors for how much maintaince costs..before it actually happens or are we gonna log in and see that all the stuff on vendor is gone due to the maintance was eaten up in 10 minutes?

I have 4 NPC vendors.. If they cost anything like the 1st vendor you get.... ill be broke in 5 mins. ( first one alone with 20 items.. cost me like 10k a day to run. )

I have over 250 items for sale.. and if maintance jumps up one morning.. by the time i log in that night... my vendor will have eaten all the maintance, and destory itself as if i was ignorning it.

If that happens... Ill quite playing SWG.

Id like to know.. what the cost will be? If its based on value of items.. seeing as i have about 1/2 million worth of goods... and close to no cash due to paying everyone for the goods i buy to sell for a small profit ( HENCE MERCHANT ).... itll cost like 30,000 a day to run my shop.. and ill close it.

Now.. if they stay as is.... id love it. Maybe a little increase like 1000 per day / per vendor.. or something..That i could live with.. But there is no way.. ill be eating all the cost, running around collecting items, paying suppliers for items, keeping the vendors stocked.. and going to town to give my business a local SHOUT OUT...I wont be paying for vendors to hold goods if it costs me more then 5k a day to run.

Im worried because im thinking were gonna get the short end of the stick.. and the people like us who are trying to actually turn this game into a real universe filled with diffrentmerchants.. will all fade away.

Post your Comments PLS !!!!!

Atleast be semi-informated before writing these posts franticly shouting out about closing your shop. They have not stated at exact number for the costs, only an estimate that was said by Holocron which was something like 200cr fee for maintanence and a sales tax. It was never said whether that 200cr estimate was a daily value, or hourly value or whatever else. Wait and see before getting all panicked.

yeah - as best we know it looks like the devs have changed their initial exorbitant maintenance rates plan and are looking at a smaller flat fee coupled with a form of sales tax.
