We get restocks every eight minutes or so?

Wed Jul 14, 2004 2:38 am

Sorry, we are sold out of everything! We get restock every eight minutes or so, so please come back soon.

Does that eight minute time peroid start when the shop is sold out, or when the shop restocks the first time? Seems like a long eight minutes when RSing :roll:

I think this is where the "or so" come in to play lol

seems like they don't restock as much as they use to though

Thats what i thought....it sometimes is really quick after the shop sells out...and then other times, i feel worried i am missing somthing, but leave cause its been like 15 min since i saw the last item.

I believe it's a restock average time. Every restocks intervals would add up to an average of 8 minutes. It's not always right though(downtimes...), but the basic statement is that it restock roughly 9 times an hour.

i think when they say that it restock 8 times per hour or so i think what they meant that within the hour it will def restock 8 times but the intervals vary like someone mentioned restocks one after the other or huge gaps in between.

yeah, i think that "8 minutes or so" thing needs to be updated.... alot of shops dont even restock every 10 minutes... they should personalize each shop with how often it restocks...

Yeah, I agree, but it doesn't restock nine times an hour every hour. Today, a shop restocked like twelve times in one hour, then the next hour it only restocked three times. It's random...

Well, if they did it at the same time every hour with the same amount of restocks, the same people would get stuff every time. At least with random restock times everyone gets a bit of a chance.

Remember that the 8 minute time frame is an approximation. Just refresh and you should be in good steed.
