Are people checking to make sure everyone invited is actually an SA member? I've already had several pubbies attempt to get me to invite them only to find out they don't have an SA membership. Everyone invited since this new system needs to be reviewed.

So much support for a status checker.



You can find the exe and source here.

It requires the .Net Framework 4 which everyone should have already. If not grab it here.

It'll put a little dot in your tool tray. Hover over it to see a quick status or click for details. It polls for changes on the login and realm server every minute and will pop up a little balloon if if the status changes.

Enjoy and let me know if you run into any bug.



Just had a tinker with your lovely code and threw in a population counter so people don't have to keep refreshing the realm status web page. This implementation relies on the current Rebirth website, when freaky goes ahead with the planned restructure/revamp this will probably stop working.

New executable and source available below. I'm pretty novice at programming and C# but this seems to work, let me know about any horrible flaws.

Also, my undead priest 'broballs' needs an invite to GUILD.

Very nice, but watch out for scraping the website. Not only does it make a bunch of realm database queries but it also checks port of the realm server to see if it's up or not. You can view exactly what the realm status page does here. Don't you love open source software?

It's weird how much more enjoyable WoW is when I don't have to try to rush to 60 so that I can see the new content to get me to 70 to see the new content etc

I don't want to do anything detrimental to the server, I never thought to check the mangos docs for how all the web interface stuff works. That being said, it only pulls the page source every 2 minutes and is a little more elegant than say, vbscript to refresh a browser every 30 seconds.
Might be worth asking freaky on what he is okay with.

If I wasn't trying to powerlevel my druid, the past 48 hours could have been so profitable. Chests and rare spawns repop when the server crashes... just think of all the goodies you could get if you farmed a few each time the server went down. Does anyone know of any high level rare spawns that drop blues?

Hey guys! Just saw this post while browsing through SA, and it looks awesome! I'm downloading the older version of wow right now, and within a few hours i'll be online as a horde warrior! Gonna contact you for guild invite, bringing a friend too! What classes are you currently mostly in need of raid-wise? I know it will take quite a long time to hit level 60 anyway, but its still nice to know.

I'm really surprised the server pop keeps getting back up to ~350 with the server crashing this often. Hopefully they can get this straightened out sooner rather than later.

That's samwise, I believe, his face is used as fallback icon art in WoW. It's possible that the server crashed when you were turning in your quest so the real icon couldn't be retrieved from the server, but just to be safe, which questgiver were you turning in to? Or wait, was there even more than one in 1.12?
