I have been hearing the rumblings (good and bad) about the potential changes to the merchant class that may be coming in update 9.2. Does anybody know if thereis an official list of changes that will be made yet? Also, is there a tentative release date for update 9.2? Hopefully we can get at least a cursory list of changes prior to it hitting the test center. I would love to be able to prepare accordingly.

I think it is slated for release shortly after the combat balance.

The only change for merchant that I am aware of in 9.2 is the promised removal of vendors from the global map if they are empty. I dont' know for SURE that it will be in there but that is the only change I'm aware of.

Other more comprehensive chagnes to merchant are still pending and don't have a current publish date.

What about evicting dead vendor from structures owned by players that left the game?
After waiting 4 months we are now redeeding our mall next week to remove 5-6 empty vendors.
We had so many empty vendors we no longer could hide them, the job to empty vendors holding 2-3000 items
and add them all back at their right price will take a very very long time..

This isn't currently on the schedule. I have made it part of our top issues list. I have expounded on the issues it creates to the devs. It isn't an easy thing to solve though because of the potential griefing issues. There have been some very good suggestions for that on the forum though and I"ll continue to work to try to get this done.

I had the same problem and put a ticket in, detailing the wp and name of each vendor and explained that they are from inactive accounts and CSRDaniel removed the inactive ones. Problem is if they still have maintaince they wont remove them.


I thought you couldnt redeed buildings with vendors in them?
