The current beta update has now been moved into live.
I would also like to take this opportunity to give you an update on the new merchant system, which is currently in development as part of 'The Black Swamp' update.
New Merchant System
I have re-written the code that generates merchants and their stock. Each merchant can now look to buy up to 9 items as well as offer to sell you up to 9 items.
1) In the top-left of the picture you will see the merchant now has a set amount of money that they have available each visit. This will restrict the amount of items you can sell them. Any items you buy from them will add to the coin they have available.
2) The Sell 1, Sell 10 buttons have been replaced with a slider, allowing you to quickly sell as many items as you wish. When you offer to sell at least 1 item, a SELL button and the current offered price will display.
3) The new code allows me to set a % chance for each item rarity for every merchant. Allowing me to create rare merchants that will deal in Books, Rare items, Set Items and even Pets.
Initial testing for this feature and some of the content update items will begin next week.
I will be giving instructions on how you can test this on the forums.
