Merchant Archive

Has anyone else noticed this ?

At the begining of every month I restock. At that time I set all my vendors to 100 days maintance.

Time before last (aprox 50 days ago) I restocked and noticed maintance was WAY down. I thought perhaps I forgot to pay previously.

Last restock I made sure to set all vendors to 100 days.

That was 20 days ago.

Vendor maintance now reads 48 days (52 days maintance in 20 days!!!!!!!)

Not a single insudient, this happend last month as well.

Not a single vendor. All 10 vendors.

I am NOT in a town affected by taxes.

I am a master merchant.

I have never let my vendors go into "need of repair"

I am always pushing the 4000 limit in items for sell.

I have reported the bug, and got the typical "Form Letter Responce" actualy geared tward strctures, So Funny , NOT !!!

I dont mind paying aditional maintance if the vendor rate went up.

Getting the typical responce from SOE of icnore it and it will go away is getting old.

this is crazy ... I will have to keep an eye on my vendor.

have you been examining the vendors to be sure of their time duration? maybe you added a bark or a PAC that you arent taking into consideration? Not likely that you have over looked these as a MMerch, but somewhere to start.

Things of this nature have made me paranoid about check maintenance status on any house or vendor I get near at least once a day.

This was not just a big drop in maintance all at wonce.

I have checked the vendors 3 times this month is a steady progression always off about about 2 1/2 times.

My vendors have allways been on the planetary map.

Only one vendor add barks.

The scary part is :

At the current rate of 2 1/2 times ....in less than 40 days my maintance will be at 0. ( where 100days were payed , I would think i still had 60 days )

I had a vendor dissaper before, altho SOE may it right by me.... still a VERY scary is that ALL of our vendors may be at risk.

Does any one else keep track of there vendor maintance ???????/

Death

I track mine daily from habit of checking for offers and pulling stockroom to replace (I have structure status on hotkey for houses and such)

and on Sunrunner in my areaI am not having any problems with maint coming out any way other then what it should.

In past such things have been found to be local , or by server more often then game wide.

be sure you do ticket it for notice, and bug it for records...other then that I could not say anything that will help your situation

stop looking at me
