excellent point. I'd like to see vendors unregister when they become empty. It would go a long way to solving half of the problem

I agree with that. I spend several hundred credits risked travelling through hostile territory only to arrive at a vendor that was empty but still on the map.


I'm NOT blaming the owner of the vendor. I have no idea if it has been empty for 4 minutes or 4 days. He could be on vacation. If the vendors stopped barking and turned advertising off when they were out of items to tell it would be much better.

It would be nice if your vendor sent you mail every 12 or so hours stating how many items are left.


The same should be for harvestors. Why don't they send a mail when they run out of power or are full, like a factory?

How about a current item count, and a count on sales over the last 3 days displayed with the planetary ad. That way a prospective client could see if you have stock, and whether other players value that stock enough to buy it.

Let's just keep it simple.


Every server reset empty vendors could be removed from the Planetary Map.


OR, if they wanted to distribute the load, they could check just your vendors evey time you logged in.


And send you a mail.









"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

You know what would be great, if you could see all the Venders in a location on a central Terminal similar to the Bazaar. Like a catalog, you could look through everybodys inventory make purchases then travel to vender to pick up merchandise....

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! EMPTY VENDORS!!!! Death to all Artisan types with empty Vendors!!!


Oh wait, one of mine is empty right now. But it's my Droid Vendor and it says to email me if you want a Droid made and I will do it. So in a way, it's not empty. In a way...
