So I was setting up a vendor right before the server went down .. so I was loading all my stock and setting prices in a hurry...


I logged out right before they went down... then realized I forgot to put any maintenance in...


Now Im sitting at work, unable to log in for 8-9 hours .. when I get back is my vendor going to be ok?


how long will a brand new vendor last without any added maintenance?

I've never had a vendor poof on me for having 0 maintenance. A few times, I left them at 0 for weeks at a time. But hey, you never know...I'd put some maint in there when you can.

I've had a test vendor running at 0% for about 9 months now.
I don't keep anything important/expensive in it and I won't cry if it all goes poof one day, but it's still interesting to see.

Had a vendor setup pre-CU, and stopped playing fro about2-3weeks after CU. the vendor had ressourcesfor about 30mill., and when i logged in, the vendor was gone. Of course my own fault, since i apparently didnt pay enough maintenence. But they can be deleted.

I doubt your vendor deletion had anything to do with maintenance, but because of this. It was probably working as intended...

Hmmm...I've always had a merchant character on one of my accounts over the past couple years. I have NEVER added maintenance to a vendor, and I have never lost a vendor. I always thought that if the vendor didn't have any maintenance, then it just pulled the fees from the house maintenance.

I wish they took maintenaince automaticly like housing. Although, I've never had it get below maintenance
