Three items of note:


1) Stockroom time is going from 7 days to 30 days tomorrow


2) the vendors not on the map is being fixed tomorrrow


3) They know about the problems with people that should be able to list not, but have no ETA for the fix nor a work-around.

I like that logic of SOE.....


You can have your items in stockroom for 30 days now, but your vendor is deleted after 14 days.....great. makes perfectly sense :-)

Translation of #1 - We screwed something up so people can't relist (#3)what's in their stockroom so we'll buy some time before they all quit en masse because they lost so much inventory.


Sorry to be such a glum gus - but I remember what happened when INVENTORY FOR SALE went from 7 days to 30.

Yep, I remember it too. Even though the items were listed for 30 days, there was still a sweeper code which when through and deleted items right off the vendors after 14 days of listing (7 for the old listing, 7 for the stockroom time).


But SOE fixed this and restored ALL the items which were effected by this. And then people were happy with the new 30 listings.


You want to goback evenfurther? I remember the time they made a change that caused buildings to countitems on vendors against the house inventory. Had me storing my resources in the factory for a couple days.

Once, they argued with me repeatedly that the bug I reported could not possible exist (though to this day, I can re-create it at will) until they threatened to cancel my account if I didn't shut up.

Care to elaborate on that ? If many can recreate that bug and report it, they have to take note and they cannot make you a scapegoat.


Have fun

      Hope that the backpack changes will not cause any problems with stuff offered.

      Hmm that could be read two ways for the backpack note. Each item counts as one item or all items combined count as one item. They never have been good at writing patch notes leaving no questions.

      I guess they mean each item will be counted but not the backpack since that is what they have said before. But yeah, I agree it is not that clear

      Uh... no. SOE did NOT restore ALL the items. I got back only 40% or so of what was lost in that particular bug.


      SOE has wiped all of my vendor inventory 4 times in this game. Once, they replaced 40%. Once was not their fault or problem... computer issues in RL locked me out of the game long enough for everything to age out. It was an 'unexpected vacation' from the game. Once, they argued with me repeatedly that the bug I reported could not possible exist (though to this day, I can re-create it at will) until they threatened to cancel my account if I didn't shut up.


      That's the customer service you get.

        • Another example of not very clear patchnotes.

        Does that mean now if i have a backpack and 10 items in it, each of the 10 items counts as 1 item?

        Or all the 10 items count as 1?

        I think and hope the first, but it sounds like the second...
