Major Features There has been a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in relief. An ancient path to becoming a Jedi has been altered. In its stead, it has been said that there is a new group of Force wielders in the galaxy who can help mentor those beings gifted with a sensitivity to the Force. A lost village in the Meridian sector is believed to be the hiding place. It is also said that this place has fearsome enemies. This journey begins with a single step and can last a lifetime. Bazaar / Vendor Changes GUI Enhancements Bazaar/Vendor Vendors that are empty will no longer be visible on the planetary map (Ctrl-V). Vendors that have been left empty or abandoned for two weeks will be deleted (owner will receive a warning message prior to deletion). Email notifications have been added to advise vendor owners of the status of their vendor. Fixed a bug that caused items to sometimes vanish from vendors. Vendor item limits will now be based on player skill. (Players over either limit will not be able to add new items for sale on vendors).
