There’s currently a high number of guilds queued for updates due to the new raid content being completed. You can help speed up the process by running a version of the crawler. I’ll keep an eye on queue times and see what I can do to help expedite them. So please be patient and new kills should be recorded soon enough. Thanks!

Update: Looks like some people in China are running bots that are automatically queueing random guilds for crawling and this is clogging up the crawler queue. I’ll do what I can to keep them out.

The new bosses for Firelands are now loaded onto the site and ready for Patch 4.2. Enjoy!

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!
