WoW Crawler

Patch 3.3.5

by Xxav on June 22, 2010, 6:04 pm, under WoW Crawler, World of Warcraft

Today was patch 3.3.5 which introduces The Ruby Sanctum:

A powerful war party of the Black Dragonflight, led by the fearsome Twilight dragon, Halion, have launched an assault upon the Ruby Sanctum beneath Wyrmrest Temple. By destroying the sanctum, the Black Dragonflight look to crush those that would stand in the way of their master’s reemergence into Azeroth and to ultimately shatter the Wyrmrest Accord – the sacred bond that unites the dragonflights.

The battle that is to come will surely deal a crippling blow to the Red Dragonflight, however, it is up to you to stop this unprecedented offensive and defend the Ruby Sanctum. First you must face the assault of Halion’s servants, Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn, and General Zarithrian, before squaring off against Halion the Twilight Destroyer, a new and deadly force in this realm.

Unfortunately there are only 4 achievements to track. For now, these are being tracked within the Icecrown Citadel categories. I may move it later depending on feedback received.

Enjoy the new content!

EU Armory Maintenance

by Xxav on September 9, 2009, 12:47 pm, under WoW Crawler

The EU Armory has been down for over 15 hours now which is preventing our crawlers from updating EU guilds. Once the EU Armory comes back online crawling will continue and any guilds that are queued should be crawled then.

UPDATE:  It appears to be back online.

Crawler Delays

by Xxav on September 4, 2009, 5:34 pm, under WoW Crawler

I wanted to let everyone know that we’re aware of the crawler delays and are looking into the matter. Currently, this is about 1200 guilds waiting in the queue that were added by users. I just made a few changes that should prevent guilds from getting stuck in the queue for days. We’ve had some malicious activity on our server the past few days and I’m currently investigating to see if this is related. I want to thank all those who have downloaded the crawler in the past few days. We’re currently reaching over 2000 guilds crawled per hour which is pretty awesome. Once I know more about the huge queue I will post back here.

UPDATE:

A malicious user was queueing tons of guilds over and over. I have since blocked him and have added countermeasures to future attacks.

Here’s their IP address: 75.127.177.114

Sorry for the crawler delays! They should be back to normal shortly!

Crawler Fix and Instant Scoring

by Xxav on September 3, 2009, 12:43 pm, under WoW Crawler, World of Warcraft

A change was made last night that would cause recently started crawlers to crash upon starting. I just corrected this bug and I am also going to use this to force an update to the crawler on those who have been running older versions. You can find the new version here as well as a list of changes. Sorry for the hiccup and thank you for crawling :)

Also, we’re currently working on a way to enable live scoring and hope to have this completed tonight. This would allow us to provide an estimated new score for a guild whenever new data is collected so you could then see it instantly reflected on the charts. Keep an eye out for this soon!

UPDATE: Instant scoring is now live!
