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.

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!

The WoW Armory received a cosmetic overhaul today which broke our crawler. This has now be corrected and the new crawler is available for download. Please let me know if you discover any problems. Thanks!

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.

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.

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