Is it just me, or is anyone else having a problem with their stocked vendors not showing on the planetary map? I am a 3-0-0-0 Merchant, did they change it to be a different lvl merchant to advertise on the map, and if so, why can I still register?

This happens to be a bug im told. I am a master merchant and was not able to see any of my vendors. I am giving it a day to get a patch and if not up then im going to have to rehire my merchants. If you do not have a lot of items, you can do that now. I have quite a few so doing so will take a good amount of time. I am just happy I have steady customers that know where I am, listing is not doing that much damage. Hope that answers your question.

Cliff Note Version : its a bug.

I dropped a test vendor and it wouldn't register either.

If I were you, I'd hold off on making lots of new vendors.

That puts me at a bit of ease! I don't have a lot on my vendors atm, so it wouldn't be hard to do, however, i just set up a new vendor for resources and registered it, and I get the same thing, nothing! I just find it strange that a few other vendors are showing! I will just have to take a deep breath, sleep, and see what happens in the morning!

Same thing is happening to me. Master Merchant, fully stocked food and loot vendor and not on planetary map. I tried to unregister one and reregister it, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

I just went to Tatooine and saw that the entire city ofMos Eisley wasn't on the map!

This makes me wonder if either of these scenarios are possible:

1) No new characters have been created in the last two weeks so it was taken off the map, or

2) The city has been poaching newbies without the infrastructure to do it so the whole place was just torn down.

I foundit annoying myself, when looking for food (I could have used Pyollian Cake and Veghash, but managed anyway), but the REALLY ridiculous thing was the way Mos Eisley disappeared!

Define "lots of items"? My five registered vendors have 491, 418, 429, 526, and 16 items respectively, and none of them are showing on the map.

I think there is more sinister things going on than just with the vendors not showing on map, as cities are not appearing either, even the great famous Mos Eisley is not showing up! The more I think about this, the more I think I'm right - The problem is not with the mechanics of Merchant but with the mechanics of the Planetary map.

You're out of time, SOE The whole 2.5 months shouldn't have been. The game was fine up until Nov 15th. If the CU was worked on, instead of devoting time to the NGE (including the many months prior to November), the game could possibly be totally bug free by now.

My account cancels on 2nd Feb, which was a waste as only played game for 1 day to get the life day gifts, will be resubbing when creature handler, Bio-engineer, scout, and ranger return, oh and the FS village.

It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
