Paperboy does not Deliver

[Gulnyr]

Description: Friday night (EDT), I saw Bumblebee approach the paperboy in Port Hempstead and ask how many papers were left.  The paperboy reported 28, I think, and I was happy the system was being used.  During a break in conversation, Jennara went to the paperboy and asked for a copy, which cost 50gp.  After the transaction, Jennara had lost 50gp, but did not receive a paper.

The paperboy script seems to work correctly except that the buyer receives no paper.

I don't believe this is directly related to the paperboy selling healing kits bug.

Verified:

Reproducable: I only tried once, and didn't notice immediately that I hadn't gotten a paper.

That's weird, I clicked the paper boy right after Bumblebee talked to him, and got a paper.

I got one too

I tried to buy a paper just a bit ago and the boy took my money but no paper.  I did see a paper that another character got from the paper boy earlier so he was working before but seems to have run out of copies.  He doesn't seem to have a problem with running away with people's money though.  I am telling Trent.

I am guessing that a reset of west server has caused him to lose the ability to sell papers.  Not sure why this would be unless the paper itself is not persistent, just the title of it?

I'll go empty his inventory so no one loses more gold.

In looking at the screenshot, the paperboy isn't saying the title of what he has for sale either.  This means that the paper is not persistent at all between resets.  The number of copies left available and the gold owed is persistent.

Thank you PnP.  The server was indeed reset yesterday.

I think I see the problem and barring something funky, this should be fixed in the next patch.
