Vendors disappearing and possible Basilisk Rollback

[Tunkson]

Vendors themselves will not return. We're still working out the specifics on how we'll be getting items back, but it won't be on the original vendors. If you had vendors that disappeared, you can replace them. As soon as we have a definite planned solution for items, we'll let everyone know how it'll work.

I suddenly feel bad for those that dressed their vendors up in RIS armor and gave them Ewok crossbows...

...granted, I dressed mine up too in various clothing/armor, but it's still good to have some sort of progress update on this. Thanks for all your continuous work, staff!

my question now is the timer on these MIA vendors still going? just wondering if stuff will be falling off of them while the fix is being worked on. not all of us get to check and restock every day and i'm sure some of my stuff is on the verge of meeting the time limit for dropping off.

I dont think they are affected by the timer anymore. I could be wrong though.

According to Mitztah https://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthr...=1#post1284013 all missing vendors are gone and not coming back, so no you do not need to worry about anything "timing out" on them - its already gone.

According to TA https://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthr...=1#post1280160 He has a backup database with the missing vendors and will attempt to retrieve the items from the missing vendors and allow owners to go somewhere and get their missing stuff. Even if timers still existed on the missing (gone, deleted, never coming back) vendors, it still wouldn't matter since TA will be working from a backup database, not a current one being affected by timers.

Right on. That was the only thing I hadn't seen yet. Thanks!

What about the maintenance in the vendors? I have heard some cats had quite a few credits tucked away in them or at least part of it.

[cubor]

Vendors are in a stasis field as far as I understand. So, vendor maintenance or expiration date, or out of fashion concepts are null value after that point.
Forget about the vendors imo.

But the TA is working on products inside thgem and either they will come back anyhow, or not.

This is what I understand and would like to believe

What about the vendor item limit? Can I create a new vendor now and have 4000 items on it, even tho my missing one had almost that?

[buellronin]

I just got a message three days ago saying that vendor was deleted....it came through emaul

Your "lost" vendors and all items on them are gone. They no longer count against your number of vendors nor items limits.

The devs have said they will not attempt to retrieve the vendors themselves, they are gone gone, never coming aback. So make new ones. The items, the devs have said, they are trying to retrieve for you. It would seem to me that you would be wise to leave room on your new vendors for the old items, or make some other plans to store them.

I got one as well stating my vendor was deleted.

You are completely incorrect. Please don't assume such things.

One of these quotes must be mistaken. Or am I?

The part by savacc is. Yes. Miztah is correct

> Your "lost" vendors and all items on them are gone. They no longer count against your number of vendors nor items limits.

[savacc]

One would hope that Scurby is kept "in the loop" on this matter, but he may not be. The devs do not have any solution yet for QA to test. It is also quite possible that Scruby has not kept up on this issue because he has no personal connection, unlike many of us. Scruby is a busy man with a vital job in this Emu.

You posted while I was

Which part? Are you suggesting that deleted vendors count against our vendor limits and our item limits?
