There was no "cleaning out" of Trinsic 2. As A Drow Elf says, it was completely wiped. I'll repeat the notion that a mass in-game PM or email should be sent about such significant actions. I've been online a significant amount in the past two weeks, during peak hours, and do not remember hearing all vendors and their tiles will be deleted. Let us suppose I did miss the message. Apparently I was not the only one, which just supports the idea that an occasional public chat message is not effective enough.
Again im sorry you missed the messages, we have been working on removing over 500 old vendors to make room for new ones. All of vendor mall 2 was from a year ago and no new accts there. Im sorry your vendor was removed, we looked at each one to see if it looked active. If you lost a vendor please contact me and id be happy to replace your vendor
