Just made CTProfiles obsolete.

Edit: Bah @ Flash Player 8+ and being at work.

Double Edit: lol @ 400+ entries for "Legolas", I'm fairly certain this only searchs active accounts.

Buggy as fuck. Needs a lot more work.

[SurfD]

yep, i cant seem to get it to show any kind of user profile on my machine,  Just loads an empty page with some logo's at the top

[Murgos]

Their XML is borked.  Probably works ok in some version of IE 6 or something.

[Righ]

Could be, on the Mac I get nowhere with Firefox at all. Safari works until you select a guild, character or whatever, then returns a page that says "You have encountered an error." On the PC, both Firefox and IE return a page with a blank 'wood effect' panel.

[WindupAtheist]

I can search for a character of name X, but I can't specify the server?  What the shit?

[Righ]

At least it gives you a relevance rating. Which is to say that higher level people are more relevant than you.

[Rasix]

I am the most relevant Rasix... with a wood panel.

[Fabricated]

I was kinda hoping to see how good their interface was, because this sounded like a great way to show gear layouts/talent builds (as well as how they effect your stats). Got a blank panel for my toon and all the others I tried on various servers. Too bad, maybe the service is getting hammered?

[Nonentity]

My two characters are the most relevant Nonentitys.

Funny how this comes right on the heels of Rupture's unveiling.

That's what I'm figuring.  It's on the login window right now, and probably the main wow page.  That's a lot of hits, as we saw with the talent calculators every time they were released.

[Xanthippe]

Worked for me.  Pretty neat.

[Miasma]

I want to be able to opt out of this, no one needs to know that I like to pick all the pretty flowers, my darkest secrets are now exposed.

[Ironwood]

Hmmm


Worked for me too.  Nice.

[Der Helm]

The thing works for me, but it reroutes me to the German version by default.


German translations piss me off.

[Alkiera]

Hrm.  My 25 druid isn't in the DB.  I can log into WoW and see her, but not in the Armory.

Wow.. made the mistake of going to the official forums to see if anything was being said about the inability to access certain pages. (Like all my character's sheets don't show.)

Instead there's an assult of "OMG BLIZZ INVADED MY PRIVACY BY SHOWING MY ITEMS" posts.  wtf?

Yeah.  Except, it's not 'their' items... it's their character's items, and their character is still property of Blizzard.  Blizaard can do whatever they want with their own data.

I'm running IE7 on my pc at work.
I queried my mage, got the error page.
Tried again, got a listing of my character and one other with the same name.
In my character's row, I clicked on the name of my guild, got the error page.
Hit the Back button, got the error page.

So it looks like it's working, but it's not up to the task of having millions of data-hungry users hitting it on its launch day.
They'll have to optimize it some ;)

I'm sure that more than one person is annoyed that their little fibs are exposed... like the hunter I spoke to the other day who claimed to have 120 more AP and 2% more crit than his profile is showing. Good times.

[SurfD]

who wants to take over / under on the mean time for someone to make a plugin that crawls that site, and checks for names of people you are currently grouped with, so you can tell if they are doing things like rolling on stuff they already have in the instance you are running?

[Furiously]

It's pretty interesting, you can look up the spec of the warrior that wants to tank for you and say, can you tank this? They can say yes and you can laugh at them in their Fury spec.  Or ponder the Pali with no first aid skill. Or look up the spec of the person who just destroyed you in PVP. That is where it really shines.

Needless to say, I'm not sure I like it.

Yep, it's gonna be pretty sweet to finally see how many of my big-talking DPSers in raids are completely full of shit. Then, my fun begins.  

[Nebu]

Any guesses on how much advertising revenue will be lost by the fan sites that were serving the same purpose in the past?  I'd think that's where the real story is.

Nobody actually reads the EULA, so get a lot of uninformed wankers on the forums. Blizzard could decide at any moment to trash your items and put you in a tutu with a message that says "Polly Prissy Pants" should the impulse strike them. You have no rights in the game other than the right not to be harrassed by other players.

I would resub to WoW at double the monthly fee if they'd do that to a few loudmouth powergamers every day.

Yeah I know that and have known it for lord knows how long, probably since the first MUD I ever played and the Admins there laid it out for the players in about the same terms.  I guess it still surprises me when I find out how many people DON'T know that.

Oh yes, that will be incredibly fun.  Well, unless they're like me and use Wardrobe to equip 'city gear' and always log out in a city.  All you'll see on my profiles are little black dresses and base stats.  (I'm a damn dirty closet RPer, search for Sabilene or Ayarae)

Still, it beats what we were doing with it in /guild last night.  Finding out how many other people are using the same name.  (I'm unique!)

[Morat20]

Sadly, not only am I not unique -- I'm not even on the first page. There's me -- I haven't logged on in several weeks, so you see...nothing. :)

[Driakos]

Yeah I get a "refresh needed" page.

Here is me.  I am also not a special snowflower, but I did make the middle of the front page.

edit Weird, their links don't take me straight to the character, but the search instead.

edit edit  Ahh it throws a ? in the link before "character-sheet" remove that, and it'll go straight to your profile.

[Paelos]

I'm one of three Paelos in Wow. I used to be the only one, but there are two new Dranei's who decided to steal it.

[Rasix]

Maybe "Paelos" is "Drizzt" in Draenic.

[WayAbvPar]

4 other Grishaks on various servers, but it put me at the top  :-D It says I need a refresh...played last night, for christ's sake. Only 1 Anyaala though, so I am still a unique snowflake.

That's a low blow and you know it. Ass. 

PS: I hate elves.

[Lt.Dan]

How can there be 400 Legolases (Legolii?).  100 servers = 100 unique names (or maybe one for Horde and one for Alliance so 200).  Probably picking up Legolass, Legolasss, Legolasohyeah, Legolasforealz, etc

[Trippy]

Double Edit: lol @ 400+ entries for "Legolas", I'm fairly certain this only searchs active accounts.

Yeah I don't see any of my characters from my cancelled accounts on there.

Edit: reworded
