What is going on with RoM DB?

It seems that DB is getting outdated, no Crystalia yet in zones and more and more info missing.

Any idea?

Yeah, they haven't been parsing new data for ages. I would guess it is probably a funding issue. Or maybe they lost a key resource and have problems replacing him.

Luckily, we still have Rom-Welten. Not quite the universal database that runesdatabase is, but they are likely the only ones that parse data.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Let's just hope that who made it (possible) is not working on that 'other' game DB... :)

They are behind on everything. Rift is 1.10, their rift site is 1.6, Aion is 3.0, their Aion site is 2.7, Allods is similarly out of date, etc. I am not sure what their business model is, but it does not appear to be working out, sadly.

it simply has "low priority" for them , means updates can take between days and months. Atleast that's what we've been told a while ago. And its not Frogster/Gameforge-owned either so the only single place to go for complaining is their own forum (or find whoever is responsible at "Playata GmbH").

As for rom-welten, its not even a problem of data access but rather the sheer amount of work (Did i mention we need additional staff? :p). Give us a web designer and a web programmer with some time and we'd do the same ... but not with the current amount of people we have. ;)

yea so true..even with all the super hidder "sketchy" boss skills/parameters reversed fully it takes forever to get everything parsed. :/ mainly due to the values rarely being in the same damn column. not a big deal but obfuscation by irritation is pro ><

i made an excel vb script to tease them out automatically but i cant find where the helll it went so havent tried on kulech. (other than pulling the ones for last boss hard to see if theres anything new)

there is O.O

Give them time. When TB came out, Runes DB didnt have any info on it for at least 3 months. I think theyre just biding their time and collecting whatever data they can get.
