I'm curious to know... How many items do each of you CURRENTLY have stocked on your vendors?
Please respond with a TOTAL NUMBER as well as NUMBER OF VENDORS PLACED. You can list total PER VENDOR if you like.
After I've got quite a few posts, I'm going to see what averages are. Please be honest everyone. Hop in game and ACTUALLY check, so we can have an accurate figure.
**EDIT as of 9:07 pm EST 8/9/04**
Total Vendors: 279
Total items on all vendors: 103519
Average number of items per vendor: 371
The 371 per vendor average gives us a pretty decent idea, I think, of just how many people are going to be affected.
Some considerations here:
By lowering this number from 371 down to 100, the database for items SHOULD be CONSIDERABLY more reliable and much quicker.
However, looking at this number, I think it would be a good idea to look somewhere around 200 to 250 items per vendor at Master, and 150 to 200 for Management 4.
That would still cut down significantly on the server load, but it wouldn't hurt so bad to so many players.

I have 2 vendors, in two different locations.
Over 2400 Items between the two vendors. *All* of them priced to sell.

aprox 2k items atm (aprox 600-700 of those are resources in 100k stacks)... while I was an Armorsmith, I had anywhere from 2k-4k. These items are all for sale... not used as storage.

I have 3 vendors in 3 different locales and am looking to place 2 others in high traffic areas...as of now and as of when the 2 new come up I will have over 4000 items, plus I have an alt that is MDOC/MSWORDs and I will soon be starting a buffs business and as we all know, when ur a MDOC and a MCOMBAT prof, it's impossible to have merchant skills capable of supporting what the devs are proposing...So the devs are removing my freedom of choice of what I wish to do in this game...hmmm isn't that unconstitutional for a business?

No. Go read the End-User License Agreement.

4 vendors used for sales - 2 vendors used for purchasing. Total items = 2400 or so, more if you include the constantly changing 'avaliable' items hopper.

380 on 2 vendors for my core business
120 on one secondary business
60 on my junk/loot vendor
150 on 2 vendors on my another secondary business
Total: 710 on 6 vendors
I already sell max stacks only (full crates and 100K resource stacks). If the change on test center goes through without changes, my junk/loot vendor is history along with one of my secondary businesses. My primary business will expand to 4 or 5 vendors.

Over 1500 items spread across 6 vendors, but my main weapons vendor usually carries the bulk weight of that at over 1k items.
