Merchant Archive

I agree. The old way, the names were covered up but at least you could see the rest of the map. If you were ACTUALLY shopping for something you could always use the search function from Ctrl-V and pinpoint one specific vendor... or go into a building when you see so many words that it becomes illegible.

I think the new way is much better. Three cheers for fixing something that was a mess.

An enhancement might be to give you the ability to toggle the vendor display on/off on your own map, depending on whether you want to see them at the time.

(This is off topic, but I'd also like to be able to change the brightness of the overlay map ...)

I doubt they fixed it for vendors... they fixed it for waypoints and for skill trainers, and the vendors just got included. By I like it, perhaps it can attract a bit of business that would other wise have slipped past our shops.

In our city you can not see the map for all the text on it now. Why do gardens have to have a name???

I love not having to spin my map around to see just whats in that mess. I like it

I love the change. For almost I haven't registered my 2 other vendors in my shop because I didnt' want them "steping" on the overhead text of my primary vendor.

Also, for shopping, try zooming the scale of the overhead map. You can do that by holding down the ctrl key while using the zoom functionin the main window. The map will zoom in, while the text will stay the same smallsize.

I'll admit the change makes the overhead map clutteed and hard to see through, but I like it and will happily put up with a little more clutter to actuallly be able to read the text!!

Also,after the merchant profession gets revamped, something tells me there wont be as many registered vendors on the map.

There is an upcoming change to remove empty vendors from the map too..that change will thin out the ranks a bit too.

This will be a wonderful thing! Is there any estimated time as to when this will happen?

Mini Publish 9.2

I don't know if that is still the plan or not.

God I hope so.
