[Request] Merge Mercantile Houses

[Soulfire]

But they did in 1.19!

[dev1181] Retainer bazaars in market areas are now subject to a time limit.

• Maximum duration: 7 days (168 hours, Earth time)
  * Those leasing stands are exempt from the above time limit.
• Updating bazaar information resets your duration to 7 days (168 hours, Earth time).
• Retainers who have exceeded the time limit will automatically return home.

Um...no. My retainers still hang around without me having to do a thing.

I know you can leave them in the wards and talk to them now and then and they'll stay, but a few days back I found the retainers of an alternate character still in the wards, and I couldn't even remember how long it had been since I had spoken to them. One of them had nothing up but a stack priced at the maximum limit.

I brought up the issue in linkshell chat and was told something about a retainer being left alone for some duration between two to three weeks and still remaining in the wards.

Searches also seem to attest to this timer not functioning.

I went away from the game for a month and my retainer was still loaded in the ward.

I guess they didn't turn that feature on yet.
