Keeping money on vendors

Phla · 28-12-2007, 04:24 AM

I run a small scribe vendor that I've been keeping well stocked. There's a few hundred k on there now.

Now I've been wondering: how safe is it to keep money on vendors? If I had say 20 million on there, would it be smart to keep it on there for a long period of time?

The vendor is in my house, so there's no fear of the vendor getting kicked or expiring.

UO has always been buggy, so I'd rather be sure!

I've known folks that have done just that. All I can say is if your statement that UO is buggy is ture, then is any place safe?

I've kept large quantities of gold on my vendors in the past and never had problems with it.

Ive ran vendors for a few years and havent had one magically disappear or lose my money but then again UO does have bugs, Id think it would be safer than say having a bunch of checks in a lock down that might disappear i.e. oops forgot to lock that down. Only thing that bugs me about it is the daily cost, but I suppose if you have a few mil on there the price is small. I still prefer to keep mine in the bank tho it would be nice if checks came in higher amounts like 5 mil & 10mil so you dont have to use up all your box space.

Aye for the past 3 or 4 years I've been a vendor nut and all of my gold stays on my luna vendors. Very handy little banking account and I've never lost any money

If you are going to store gold only do it on a vendor in your own home.

I keep money on my vendor that is in my house and I have never had a problem with the money going missing. My Mom has two vendors on the front steps of her house and she also keeps money on them. We have never had a problem with the money going missing off of the vendors.

I would only store gold on my vendor in my own house, Just for the reason, IF something did happen and the vendor did disappear then it would be locked down in MY house for ME to get

Yup we stored gold in our vendor in our house. Didn't keep too much if it's a vendor in someone else's house. Lost some gold that way.

Didn't there use to be a bug where you could kill the vendor and loot it? I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen anymore though.

**Ally** · 22-01-2008, 10:52 PM

Yeah I don't think you can harm vendors anymore. I never tried though.
