Allakhazam's EQ2 site not updatedFollow

In theory, there should be a merger with the O-gaming database, which is quite a lot better than this database. This was said to happen about half August, no update as yet.

I've asked the question at the "site and forum feedback", including if there was anything we could do to help too, but no response so far.

A pity, I hope that it doesn't last much longer.

Allakhazam is having a ***** of a time finding a isp that will house them with all their traffic. So the new servers and all the hyped changes are on hold.

I hope the site f'ucking flops.

You hit the nail on the head there from what i've heard. Fact is, Allakhazam is one of the most visited sites on the web. Awhile back Alla posted what number they were somewhere... I can't remember if it was in the top 100 or not, but it was some crazy number of hits per day like 10k or more or something from UNIQUE IP addresses. In the end he may have to go straight to some corperate ISP or something rather then a mainstream one... or get their own set-up somehow and host it themself.

Indeed it is, it would be more fun imo if we were told this by admin. Sure, it's not really our business as mere users to hear about every single problem with the runnings of this site, but something as major as a complete overhaul of the EQ II part is pretty interesting to get updates about.

Allakhazam’s was my one stop shopping for EQ1. I could always find what I needed, and was more than willing to pay for the abundance of knowledge. But now when I visit the site for EQ2 it’s a let down. I’m not sure why I come to the site anymore. I’d assume it’s out of habit, but once on the site my visit is sort lived.

Alla,
You have a great site with a lot of faithful clients. Please step it up or lose them.

When I first started coming to Alla's I was brand spankin' new to EQ and so I had nothing but questions. Time passed and I was actually able to respond to some of the posts that I saw! And through it all, the community, the database and the bestiary were all there to help me figure out whatever questions I needed to research.

When I moved over here to the EQ2 boards I found the same helpful network of players and a database, (with mod), that was in need of attention but was at least making an attempt.

Flash forward a year and a half and we have a DB that is in tatters... virtually no relevent information, almost no evidence of a moderator and a small but loyal group of veteran posters.

We who are left tend to field questions and provide (satisfactory) answers in short order but without a DB to back us up, there is not much we can offer a new or returning player beyond a sense of community.

I will remain. I'll be here when they lock the doors! I guess I figure it's the least I can do in exchange for all the help and information I received when I was a noob.

But I can't help wishing things were different and that this site was a place where people wanted to go first because the details were timely and the information plentiful.

Maybe things will change for the better and maybe not... either way... I'll keep hangin' around!
