it's been around 10 hours in real life and the traveling merchant doesn't spawn anymore. i was waiting to buy some item from him before starting hardmode but he didnt spawn. i then killed the wall of flesh and started the hardmode and still doesnt spawn. is my game bugged? any way to make him spawn?

Have you unfrozen time?

If not or you're not playing on Journey, try verifying the game files. If that doesn't work, restart your computer. If none of these work, ask someone else.

What do you mean by "unfrozen time"? Day keeps going, i got something like 3 goblin invasions in 1 week of game and even a blood moon. I'm also playing in classic mode so no strange things i guess.. Is there something wrong with the game time?

This can happen if you're very unlucky during Classic mode. I don't know about the game being buggy or not. Anyway, to increase your chances of the Traveling Merchant spawning, consider increasing your luck and enemy spawn rates, i.e. place a Water Candle, consume a Battle Potion, place a Garden Gnome, place a biome specific torch and ensure there are no other types of torches nearby, and consume a Luck Potion.

I fixed the problem and it looks like a bug, i'll report it later.

I surfed the net and found this problem:
It seems that if you change world with your pg and go in another world with a different number of npcs, your character "counter" modifies, but it doesn't update when you go back to your main world. So if you go into a world with just your guide you will not have the minimum 2 npcs and so the trav. Merchant wont spawn in your main world, something like that. I had to move to a different world where i had more than 2 npcs and then come back. The problem got fixed
