YesterdayI got 150 exp / hour / vendor

Today I got 150 exp / hour

I have 6 vendor so the change was very noticable for me, just wonder if i am alone with this or if it is one of SOEs "improvements"

My vendors completely stopped giving hourly experience today. I didn't notice it till this evening, but i was only getting xp when people were actually paying the entry fee to my shop. In addition, two of my vendors are giving me a "You can't see this object" message when I try to do *any* administrative tasks. You can still browse them, but nothing else works. I can't even remove them and just create a new vendor. This has all started in the last couple of days....

Ooh! It's 150 XP per hour on a vendor? I was getting only 50 XP total.

I've had some sort of bug on my hourly accrual XP the past two days (that I've noticed), but I've gained vendor-viewing XP. (I had a friend test it for me while I watched my XP.)

I saw mention that there is a merchant XP bug in another thread, but I haven't seen any suggestions for how to reset your character so that the bug goes away. (I learned one way to get rid of problems in EQ (like group bugs) was to log out completely. This hasn't really worked for me here, so I think it's a persistent bug in some ways. In fact, logging out completely helps very little in this game except when there's a server outage and you take a break after loggingso that your factories and harvesters are showing back up by the time you login again!)

Strangely, I do get XP sometimes when I've been logged out for awhile. It just hasn't accrued while I've been logged in. I think several people looked at my vendors but didn't buy, perhaps, while I was logged out, and I'm just stuck with this darned bug.
