Merchant Archive

OK, first of all, my vendors are chained in place and I never let them leave their posts. I have no idea where thet are when I am not in the shop, but I know that they are always stationed in their proper place when any of my PA members or customers come into our mall. I understand that several of you do not seem to have vendors that are quite as loyal as mine. I do not know if this is becauseyour are not quite a task master as I am or that you have more tratorous vendors. On possible cause I was wondering about is if your shops may be located to these force bariers I keep stumbling into. I have found that there are places where Rocky, my pet Rock beetele, seems to loss focus and stop following me. It seems that Kraft, my probot (complete with crafting station), seems to have the same problem. I usually have to tell them repeatedly to follow me. I have on a few ocassions had to back track several hundred meters, because I did not notice that they stopped following me. The only explanation I can figure out is that there are force barriers in the world that confuse the sense of pets and droids. Could it be that your shop is on or close to one of these force bariers? Could it be that these barriers confuse your merchants?

(OOC: For those of you who have had your vendors disappear, is your house on or near a server border?)
