Spell Update - 2009/08/04

Good news! Kiara has worked some magic within the SOE building and pryed some needed information out of the hands of the developers and has given me a list of all the new spell names and a matching list of all the old spell names. I will be working on a method of being able to update the database to carry over all the drop information from the old spells to the new spells. This will also allow me to import all the new spell names into the database of which many are missing.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to get the in-game links for all the new spells quite yet. From what I understand, the people that have this information readily available through a database query or already in a spreadsheet don't want to give it up. The only other methods I have at this point is to have Kiara spend countless hours generating this information on her own (which I can't ask her to do) or doing broker searches until my fingers are numb and bleeding. A final method and the least painful method would be to use the logfiles from all the players within the game and have each person update the database through the use of the EQ2LLinks Parser. This method is the most community oriented method and would be the most preferred. So if you use this site and find the information available very helpful join in on the fun of updating it too. It's very easy and doesn't take long at all. Just download the EQ2LLinks Parser, install the application and pick the files you want to parse.

Spell Update - 2009/07/21

I know it's been over a month since I've updated this page in regards to the spell changes that were made back in GU52. For those of you that have been parsing your logfiles and submitting the information, thank you. It has been a help and the database is getting larger. Unfortunately, there are many more spells than what's been put into the database so far and the drop locations of these spells obviously isn't nearly as thorough as it was before GU52.

I submitted a request to SOE a month ago to get me in touch with someone on their development staff to see if I can get a comparitive list of all the old spell names and the new spell names so I can match them up in the database and do my best to try to carry over the drop information. You'd think this would be a simple spreadsheet that someone probably already has but so far my request just to speak to someone has fallen to the side of the people that feel on the Class Survivor thread is more important than actually managing community relations. It's been a bit of a disappointment and its frustrating. I have high hopes for this website and many probjects in my head that I'd like to implement into this site but major changes like this to the game and the huge lack of support from the people that make the changes yet pride themselves in great community support is not what I would've expected. Hopefully this little public note will at least get me an email over at webmaster@eq2llinks.com with something along the lines of "Hey, just because you're not ZAM doesn't mean we don't care about you."

GU52 - 2009/06/16

This is my first major update since taking over the site that has caused a large change to the names of items in the game. Every spell has been renamed and it has caused all links to not work any longer. I don't want to lose any of the drop information so I hope to come up with a solution to merge new links with the old links. I have a possible solution but it is going to require a lot of new data to be dropped into the database. So, if you have the opportunity to download the EQ2LLinks parser and scan you logs, please do so. Getting as many new links into the database will greatly speed up this process.

Under New Management - 2009/05/31

Hey Everyone. Johnathon has graciously allowed me to continue hosting EQ2LLinks and continue on with the development of the site and application. I will be migrating the site to new hosting during the next few days so I would appreciate your patience in case there there are any interruptions to the site. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at webmaster@eq2llinks.com.

Update 2009/06/01
The migration was completed yesterday evening and the DNS should have made its way throughout the internet by now. Any parser updates that were made from yesterday around 4PM EST through this morning may not have gone to the correct database. If you want to parse your logfiles again and submit the content it should go to the correct database now.

More to come soon including an introduction to myself. I'm excited to have taken over this great project from Johnathon and I'm looking forward to continuing it forward and making some enhancements.

Take a look at these sites!
