Merchants: Broken Merchant Inventory (multi-user)

[Faza]

Merchants' items are on a list somewhere in some database.

The problem is that when multiple people use a vendor, the users don't get updated information.

If the 3rd thing on shady swashbuckler's offerings is a snake meat, and i'm browsing and looking at the 4th item, a fishing pole ... and then you come and buy the snake meat just before i change my mind about the fishing pole and buy the snake meat, then i've just bought a fishing pole instead.

It happened to me last night, and it happened to some guy Finawin or whatever who was yelling about how he lost his inventory the night before.

I'm pretty sure this has been reported before and it has happened to myself as well.
I ended up purchasing a Fine Steel weapon for over 50plat when I was attempting to buy a cheap gem.

When I see others running up to my vendor i tend to close my vendor window till they leave, just in case now.

I can confirm this on multiple cases. Very frustrating when you want to buy a gem to get rid of small change and you get ripped off for assloads(possibly) on fine steel or even worse.
