==== Forced dismissing ====
* If you are away for several months, the merchant may leave or be forced to leave with all the items and coins in his/her inventory. In such a case, they will leave behind a sign stating they have moved on due to poor business, and all items and coins will be returned to the contract owner inside a backpack through the [[mail]].
** If an item doesn't fit in the backpack, the contract owner will receive it separately in the [[mail]].
* Mayors can dismiss merchants on their deed if the owner has not logged on in over one month.
* If the merchant is wizkilled (an instant kill that GM's and developers can do), he is dismissed, but he can still be placed again as usual.
