I made a slight change to the way the rankings are done so you may notice some slight shuffling. The method in which kill dates were being prioritized had a minor flaw to it which was giving slightly less points than intended on kills that less of the population had completed.

I am also pondering changes that might place more emphasis on progress rather than quantity and dates. Unlike other guild progress sites, we do not simply rank based on who is further into the content. Completion dates and and minor achievements also factor into our scoring.

Would you like to see more emphasis placed on who is further in progression? Or keep it how it is with dates and minor achievements playing a role in determining the rankings? An extreme example would be: Should a guild who was formed yesterday and has completed all the content be ranked higher than a guild who has achieved world firsts on every kill yet has failed to defeat the last boss? Hmmm….

I’ve finally gotten around to adding a few more options for the guild badges. You are now able to choose a tall or wide badge in addition to the small square badge. These new badge sizes include two eras worth of stats. You can build them using the “Build Guild Badge” link in the guild sidebar. If you run into any problems or have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to comment here!

I am also interested in hearing what new features you would like to have added to the site. Please drop me a note here or use the contact button at the bottom of the site. Thanks for visiting!

Since the rankings are taking a longer time to compute due to the large amount of data we have now, they will only be calculated once per day at 3:00am EST. The updates were taking over 20 minutes to complete which blocked access to the site during that time.

I added some simple RSS Feeds for guilds and servers. Currently, they show the 10 latest boss kills for either the guild or the server. You can subscribe to these feeds by clicking the RSS Icon on the top right of the rankings or guild pages. For the time being I am just going to leave them to show the latest boss kills and I will add achievements and what not later on.

If you have no idea what RSS is then you can check this link out: http://www.whatisrss.com/

…then you are now resolving to the correct version of the site.

If you notice anything broken please comment here or use the contact link at the bottom of any page.

Thanks for your patience!
