What is the Armory?

The Armory is a vast searchable database of information for World of Warcraft - taken straight from the real servers, updated in real time, and presented in a user-friendly interface. Since the Armory pulls its data from the actual game servers, it is the most comprehensive and up-to-date database on the characters, arena teams, and guilds of World of Warcraft in existence.

Just did a search for me and on the European servers there appears to be about 15 or so characters with the name "Qantaqa," but mine shows up first as 100% relevant. :D

Found this linked to on Slashdot, where they are having a discussion about whether or not revealing this detailed data about ALL characters and guilds is "right" as from the article on slashdot:

Slashdot said:
Some players are upset about this, such as arena PvP teams who now have all their gear and talent choices exposed to the world, or players with non-standard or less-popular talent choices who fear they will have difficulty getting into pickup groups now that people can instantly find out everything about them. Are these complaints fair? Blizzard claims to own all the data and the characters, but at what point does this data represent personal choices and information about their players which would be covered by their own privacy policy? In a virtual society, should people be able to present a view of themselves that differs from (virtual) reality, or should all details be exposed?"

What's your view on these concerns? I personally think that they are a complete load of crap... if you take this game so seriously that you don't want people to know anything about you then you have "issues" in my opinion...

BAHAHAHAHA

in relation to the question "Why aren't my lifetime honorable kills displayed under Achievements?"

the answer: "In order to have your lifetime honorable kills displayed, you must have at least 1337 honorable kills."

Made me laugh :D

heh. just did a search for "legolas" as reccomended by someone on the wow forums. 34 pages of results (668 hits on JUST the European servers) shows a real lack of originality by some people...

I've never quite seen a person have a conversation with themselves on a thread before :P

Though I assume it could be useful really as you can see what is popular and what is not to make your own build and what kit is being used out there.

Also I used to get annoyed about names and originality about people but in the end whats in a name? You also gotta remember that when people play these games they want to be their idolised hero, not everyone wants to be someone they've created in their own imagination... when I was younger I used to use Raist all the time. Also remember how many children do play the game...

Well, it seems I am the most relevant Zeejin in WoW. Though there is a level 9 Warrior with the same name on Hakkar....since we're in the same battleground group, it could make for interesting games if he decides to level. "Protect Zeejin! No not that one, the other one! The One with the flags!"
