what happened. I was using my vendor earlier today and logged, then once i logged back on the vendor was gone. I tried to have someone else see if it was there and i tried reloggin all the way out. What is going on?


Could maint. be the culprit? I thought when maint goes down you either gotr an email or your vendor just stopped accepting items for sale. Any ideas? btw allthe other regular items are in my house.

Is it possible you sold back your vendor-placing skills? I know that might sound dumb, but a lot of people do it, sell back the skill, but forget that their vendor will go poof...

Nope, i still have all my merchant skills. But this begs another question, if i surrender these skills, do i loose my vendors? A friend did this and kept his? If i do this will I now loose mine?

I run...or at least I USED to run a weapons vendor on Eclipse. Along with a master merchant in my PA I had set-up a vendor with about 80 or 90 weapons on it, roughly two of every type. It had about 140 days of maintainance in it and everything was ok.


Then today I am hanging around our mall, some guy shows up and wants a flamerthrower, 'in my vendor' I tell him, only to find my vendor is no longer blummin there!! The thing has dissapeared, no-one else can see it either. It has taken well over a million credits worth of weapons with it too.


I have submitted a CSR ticket but I just know they aren't gonna do anything useful like give me the money or equivalent resources. Its this kinda thing that makes people leave the game...I was thinking of quitting not long ago but stuck it out for the 'big patch' and of late I had been having a real good time, especially with the introduction of Player Cities, butthis was a real slap in the face and I frankly cant be bothered to play.

It is possible the vendor will show back up after a server reset. The best bet is to keep pressure on the CSR to try to find a solution. There have been more reports of this since the patch.

I've been trying to get some attention focused on this bug for almost a week now. Everything in my shop disappeared last Saturday and is still missing.

I started a thread on this bug, but so far it's been ignored:

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Development&message.id=849242

Is there any way to get some dev attention to this matter? The CSRs are completely in the dark on this and seem have to recourse to help us.

Everyone who has a missing vendor please post on the post at the top of the forum about it. We are trying to compile enough evidence to help the devs find this problem.
