So every site I go to hasn't updated the servers.. well ffxivpro has the names up but not player information. Has SE screwed with something so that no one can pull the correct data on server (if it's up or not) or correct player information such as jobs, etc.?

I noticed ours has been down for quite some time.

Thanks,

I know that it has been down for a long time and I actually considered removing it (but as always I didn't find the time). My problem is that I use the script ZAM made available and as long as they don't fix it it doesn't work here either.

I should make my own but I am a bit at loss as to how. But with the new servers and other names it should be either fixed or removed. I am still a bit uncertain which way I will go.

I find it's a nice feature to have available, but if it requires work to get working, then don't bother. It isn't that important.

I don't think it is necessary at all to have on your site Kida. I think it is needed more on sites like ffxivpro, pads, etc where player information is tied into the site and servers.

My opinion is I would remove it asap. People see that in red and potentially start to think the site isn't being updated or attended to and go elsewhere. Just like how everyone has been annoyed with ffxivpro and how slow it's been to update. All these people jumping ship to xivpads.com.

For most part people use many sites at one time so it really just becomes an aesthetic thing.
