Are you sure this is still happening?

Spells galore - restocked 9 minutes ago Weapons warehouse - restocked 8 minutes ago Clothing rack - restocked 6 minutes ago

Maybe it was just bad luck for a few days, as the time between restocks is semi-randomized

Thanks for the info! Yeah, those shops do seem understocked.

Yeah... I posted twice on this very topic lol...

Sorry this wasn't clear from my previous posts, but yes this is on our radar and it's being worked on. I will keep you updated. Your patience is appreciated!

A gentle reminder that while glitches like this are frustrating for everyone, bug report forums aren't the appropriate place to vent about it, and explaining how frustrating and problematic the problem is will not help us solve the issue quicker. All site issues are frustrating and cause problems - after all, none of these are on purpose or how the site is supposed to work! We empathize and we want to see them solved as much as you do! Please help us by staying on-topic in the bug forums and only posting if you have information to add to the report. Thank you for understanding.

Update! Since some have asked for a timeline: not a hard quarantee, but right now I'm aiming to get this fixed by the weekend. It's being actively worked on. <3

-- Bragging and Complaining is the perfect forum for venting. Thank you :)

This is going to take a bit longer to resolve, sorry! It's still being actively worked on.

Just pushed out a fix that should see items going in more frequently.

The reason this happened: We have a lot of weighting in the script that takes into account the number of uses online over an average amount of time and then chooses how many items to stock.

With the errors over the last few months we've seen record low user numbers (acknowledging that this is on us) and so the shops have adjusted by stocking way less items.

I don't think it's getting worse, considering the code hasn't been changed and I bumped it up to pretend at least 750 people are online for the purposes.

I'm not going to put a lot of energy into investigating this, we're going to be making major changes to the restocking system relatively soon.

I've been watching the items in / out of the shops over the last few days and I'm not convinced the problem is that the items aren't being stocked, I'm more convinced that someone is buying them up. By convinced, I mean, I tracked items going into the shop and then being removed from the shop.

In addition, the shop restocking system is somewhat complicated, in that it says "if this item wasn't purchased before, don't restock it again for awhile" so in the case of a common book that sits in the shop until the shop clears, it won't restock that book again for a few days.

The problem here is really that this is just a silly system. Why do we restock the shops like this? What is the actual intention? There is no point in purchasing items to put in your own shop (very few items from main shops actually make their way to user shops) the only point is to buy them when you're on a quest.

I've just gave the script a shot in the arm (basically: ignore all of the things that typically make it slow itself down) for the restock war, until we push out our larger shop changes. This is the last change I'll be making to this incredibly broken system.
