When I started my crafter/merchant, a friend of mine from another server offered to hold the shop for me. Thus freeing up 2 lots for harvesters or factories. Since that time, I've built the business up enough that and mined enough surplus resources that I figured I could live without those two lots finally. I asked him to log on that galaxy, meet me at the shop, and transfer ownership back to me.
We tried this last night, and he said the system message he received back said that he couldn't transfer a structure with vendors in it? Is this a bug or intentional?
- I am a master merchant and share the shop with another master merchant. Emptying these vendors would be no small task.
- The other master merchant said she had recently done this very thing... she successfully transferred ownership of a house to another player. This other house had a merchant inside at the time. So is this a recent change? (perhaps with publish10?)
If this is intentional, I'd like to hear a good reason why. If it's a bug, a timeframe on getting it fixed would be preferred. Any help would be appreciated.

It's bug I just transferd a house with vendors in it the other day(after publish 10). Submit a ticket a CSR should be able to help you.

The problem with transferring a structure is that the person doing the transferring of the structure loses all access to the structure until the new owner gives them admin rights.
Since you can't have a vendor in a private house that you don't have rights to, the transfer with vendors inside will cause an illegal thing to happen.
This may be a side effect of fixing the vendor exploit as well.

Hiya Capt,
Any idea how you were able to do the transfer? I have a predicament now where the owner of a small mall that has about 8 vendors in it wants to move on and transfer the building to one of the merchants, but we can't. She filled out a CSR ticket asking for assistance and got the "you cannot transfer a building with vendors in it, they must be deleted first" message.
Thanks,
