I here if you add a few dropsI made this a few years ago (hence the EA logo on the side) but it seems they are still using this product:
Quick update on the status of vendor search: In order to improve performance and handle the scale of requests I have rewritten the vendor search server and optimized the database queries. It is currently being put through the ringer by QA. Once Misk gives the green light we will be updating all production servers. We are hoping to publish next week if all is well.
Put this on uo.com, not just on Stratics where a tiny fraction of the playerbase will ever see it. If its not posted on uo.com, it might as well not be posted at all.Quick update on the status of vendor search: In order to improve performance and handle the scale of requests I have rewritten the vendor search server and optimized the database queries.

Nope, you can only search from a safe location - what kind of person searches where it's not safe to stand about anyway?Bleak will i be able to access the vendor search from any location? Will i be able to search any shard i want too?
If the answer to both of these is no you have just kept the evil sites in business!
*Slow Clap*
All the above sounds good except the bother of having to log in and out of each shard to search it. We're playing in a cross shard economy now with transfer tokens and shard shields. Is a single search that includes all shards out of the question?Nope, you can only search from a safe location - what kind of idiot searches where it's not safe to stand about anyway?
Yes, you can search any shard. Just log into that shard.
Yes, you will be able to find all the shops the 'evil sites' don't list, and yes you'll be able to find all the items they don't list even though the shop is listed, cos they'd rather you bought from them for cash.
I can see both sides of this.All the above sounds good except the bother of having to log in and out of each shard to search it. We're playing in a cross shard economy now with transfer tokens and shard shields. Is a single search that includes all shards out of the question?
There's probably a group of 10-15 people who haven been asking for this and most likely spamming Mesannas email about it for months/years...this is why I've proposed the idea of in game ballot voting for new stuff added..this wouldn't have even made it into development..this game needs soooo much more than a vendor search..but I am glad the MyUO is in the works..maybe they needed the infrastructure to piggy back off of I don't know..I'm not a dev..Congrats people, you have asked the devs to fix a problem that didn't exist, and then bash them when they didn't fix the "problem".
It's been over two weeks since they said it would be fixed in the video. Still no update either.
See post 209 in this thread by team member Bleak.We have an awsome dev team and it will take 3-4 days of work to complete. So give it a few more weeks. EA lets them work on the UO product only on Thursdays.
This does not get right just because it is repeated over and over. There are tons of Non-Luna, Non-Zento vendors on these sites. Yew, Umbra, tons of Malas, outer Trinsic, and so on..As is well known, currently only Luna and selected other places (mostly right on the outskirts of Zento) are available in the unofficial vendor searches. Non-Luna, non-Zento vendors, thus, suffer, in effect cut off from shoppers in search of a particular item.
If you take the time to read the post you're replying to you'll see it's pretty clear I'm aware of the fact that non-Luna, non-Zento shops have ever had some presence on those sites. If it helps, here's the sentence: "As is well known, currently only Luna and selected other places (mostly right on the outskirts of Zento) are available in the unofficial vendor searches."This does not get right just because it is repeated over and over.

But who travels Trinsic when you can shop the same item in Luna for only 10k more?

Its actually pretty good now. only problem is non-luna only gets updated every 12 hoursIf you take the time to read the post you're replying to you'll see it's pretty clear I'm aware of the fact that non-Luna, non-Zento shops have ever had some presence on those sites. If it helps, here's the sentence: "As is well known, currently only Luna and selected other places (mostly right on the outskirts of Zento) are available in the unofficial vendor searches."
The point remains the same.
I mean, really. These sites won't suffer all that much, if at all, once this thing is live.

There was a guy on Legends had one listed in Skara Brae. Yes, they will do it.
Maybe on Atlantic, and I've noticed they've started to include some select locations on LS, GL, and Chessie... but otherwise, no.This does not get right just because it is repeated over and over.

Well I guess its good to know its at least using a database on the backend. Knowing EA though its probably something like mySQL.Quick update on the status of vendor search: In order to improve performance and handle the scale of requests I have rewritten the vendor search server and optimized the database queries.

This.They only need to post an update if they cancel the system or that it is operational.
WarPig was too hopefull...We have an awsome dev team and it will take 3-4 days of work to complete. So give it a few more weeks. EA lets them work on the UO product only on Thursdays.
