I’ve added the new zones and bosses from GU60. Thanks to those of you who sent in details on this. Please let me know if any of the zone/boss orders are incorrect.

Also, the crawler that searches for new guilds for EQ/EQ2 appears to be broken. So until I can fix that, if you need your guild added please use the contact form linked at the bottom of the site. Thanks!

The WoW crawler is currently not in service due to Blizzard pulling the plug on the original armory. The new Battle.net armory that was introduced a few months back does not provide XML feeds akin to the original. Blizzard had previously kept the old armory online so this data could continue to be mined. However, it appears they have finally taken the old armory offline completely so sites such as this one no longer have access to the data. To further complicate the problem, the new armory still does not have XML feeds even though Blizzard reps have stated that it would. While it is possible to gather data without the XML feed, it is a far more tedious process. I would like to give Blizzard some time to rectify the issue before I go down that road. To read more about the XML feeds for the armory and express the need for XML feeds on the new armory, visit http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1220102079. Thanks to everyone who reported this issue.

I’ve added the new EverQuest 2 raid content introduced in EverQuest 2’s latest expansion, Destiny of Velious. Please let me know if something looks incorrect.

Also, I corrected a bug where kills were not being recorded on our World of Warcraft site since Monday morning. So if you queued up your guild in the past two days and did not see the kills recorded, please give it another go.

Thanks!

Due to Blizzard is moving their Armory over to Battle.net, it’s broken a lot of tools that utilize the Armory. Unfortunately, our crawler is one them. They claim they will provide an XML feed *soon* that we’ll be able to switch over to. So until that happens, the crawlers will not function. If they do not have an XML feed up by this weekend then I will rewrite the crawler to parse out the HTML on the new Armory.

Apologies for not being able to have the crawler running but it’s out of my control! Stay tuned!

UPDATE: I put out a new version of the crawler that is modified to work with the old broken WoW Armory. Feel free to upgrade to this version and run it. I am still waiting to be able to hook it up to the new Battle.net Armory. Thanks!

With Cataclysm going live tonight, I’ve added the new raid zones to the site. I’ll tweak things further as we get further into the expansion. Let me know if anything looks out of place. Time to fire up those crawlers. Thanks

Edit: It looks like the WoW Armory is currently having some issues so the crawler will be able to collect any data until those are back up. I am also anticipating some downtime for the crawler when they take the old WoW Armory offline and move over to the new Battle.net version.
