Yggdrasil WoE

Posted on December 16, 2010 by Renouille

I don’t currently have the resources to log WoE on Yggdrasil. If someone would like to do that and send me the logs, then I’ll set up a site for it. Otherwise, there’s nothing I can do.

Live updates

Posted on December 15, 2010 by Renouille

Sometime during the next few weeks I will be modifying the castle status sites so that the Overview and Timeline pages update in real time. (Stats will still be delayed for the time being.) This will require some major under-the-hood changes, but I think it’s long overdue…

A strategy for ranged MVPs

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Renouille

Here’s a strategy I developed years ago for countering some ranged (attack range > 1) bosses, although we didn’t start using it extensively until late 2009. Several others have (probably independently) rediscovered it, and I won’t even claim to be the first since it “emerge[s] from the interaction of relatively simple game mechanics.” In other words, anyone giving it some attention would have been able to figure it out. However if you’ve never seen this before it’s still something to think about.

Seeking volunteers

Posted on December 7, 2010 by Renouille

Since I’ve been forced into early retirement, unless there’s an unexpected development I probably won’t be renewing my account when it expires in January. I have no plans to shut down the site, however; that would be irresponsible, and I’ve put too much work into it to give up just because I’m displeased at how events have played out. (I don’t gain anything from it, by the way; I’ve never asked for nor accepted a single penny in donations, and I don’t even WoE!)

That’s why I’m looking for volunteers to log WoE takeovers. If you’re interested, leave a comment (or PM me) and we can discuss specifics.

Potting in 2006

Posted on December 2, 2010 by Renouille

In light of recent events, I’ve started to wonder how many strategies I once thought to be nothing more than extremely clever/creative gameplay would actually have been regarded as illegal exploits. As an example, I will share a method that Clare and I invented for potting back in 2006 (when it was useful), and you can be the judge!

What’s going on?

Posted on November 29, 2010 by Renouille

So, I’ve heard there was supposed to be WoE today (news to me!), and I’ve also heard that it was canceled. Either way, I wasn’t able to stay connected to log much of anything, so if anyone could tell me what the final decision was, I’d appreciate it!

Late update

Posted on November 23, 2010 by Renouille

Scratch that, I stayed up past the 24-hour mark to help someone with homework, damn it. Tonight’s update will be delayed by several hours because I’m going to sleep soon. It’s been a long day, and yes, all updates this month have been done manually. I decided it would be less painful to do that than to set task scheduler individually for each date.

Missing data (valk)

Posted on November 19, 2010 by Renouille

The first hour of Valk WoE is missing, seemingly due to a server-side network interruption that disconnected everyone about 90 minutes before WoE started. I was asleep, so of course I wasn’t able to reconnect until much later. Did anyone manage to log that first half?
