Bazaar ... fixed or not?

[Kaysha Soulsinger]

Just curious, but did they fix the Bazaar in the latest patch?

Personally, I have still avoided the Bazaar as good as I could and have always conducted my trades outside of the Bazaar ever since it became bugged (though merchant-mode of course only in the Bazaar), and have avoided doing (too many) tradeskill combines in there as well.

Three errors used to exist in the Bazaar:
- Sometimes locking up after swapping items around in your Bank. Everquest would just "freeze" on you (the debug logfile would indicate you disconnected from the zone and got dropped from the gameloop)
- Sometimes items would poof during a trade. One item would be put up for trade by one person, but the other person would never see it. Could also happen with coin.
- After one or more Tradeskill combines, getting a DNC on a valid recipe, shortly thereafter crashing to Server Select screen, potentially losing items (for what I could tell, any items left in the container would be put on your cursor ... which is a crappy solution, since your cursor only holds the directly visible item after zoning/logging in, everything else just vanishes).

Has any of these bugs been fixed since the patch? Or are they still occuring?

I don't do any tradeskilling in the bazaar, so I can't comment on that. What I have noticed is that after the patch my trader is much more stable. Before patch, my trader would get booted several times per day (as long as i was nearby to log him back in ), today is the second day he's been online all day without problems.

The getting booted seemed to be zone crashing completely btw, if I was nearby and logged back in quick, there would hardly be anyone in zone.

re

I think the bazaar "feature" is a combination of things. For instance, I go LD when the whole zone practically goes. But my husband locks up in bazaar all the time (and it is still happening).

My trader stayed up all night for the third time since the bazaar went live. I seem to have my own connection problems on top of whatever is happening sever side. But my vendor did stay up all night last night, which is just short of a miracle. It could just be a fluke, but maybe something was fixed.

I'm still being booted to desktop while in trader mode in the Bazaar (T1 connection, btw).

I'll let y'all know if I get a DNC again (I really can't zone all the time just to make velium boning -- even with several haversacks).

I'm still locking in the Bazaar.

Walking around, banking, in trader mode, doesn't matter what I'm doing, I randomly lock up. AND I get weird lag. As in my lag bar will go red, and I'll go LD fairly frequently. *grumble*

NOT fixed.

My problems have seemed to all disappear.
I was getting lock ups, seemingly when there was too much serverside info coming in...like shopping vendors in there.
Would also lock up if I had all my bags open at once, and just used esc to close them all. esc would cause the lock up.
Was going LD at least everynight. Quite a bit actually, was getting really annoying trying to stay on. My mule has now been on for 2 days and 3 hours straight /play ....since patch, I believe, that is.

hmmm and that's odd a Luclinite right here is still having problems.....I'm on cable modem connection /shrug not sure what the difference is, if really any at all there.
