Armory API, inactivity cleanup, discontinuation of merges and website news
Greetings Warmane community,
We are pleased to announce that we are planning on performing a cleanup of inactive names and characters on April 09, 2017! This will provide a greater selection to players who are looking for a fresh start or want to make their character feel new. The details of the inactivity cleanup are below:
Level 15 and above characters that have not been played since June 2015 will have their names removed.
Level 15 and below characters before December 2016 that have not been played since December 2016 will have their names removed.
Level 1 characters that have not been played since January 2017 will be erased.
Only level 1 characters will be erased, other two categories will only have their names removed and upon the next login, players will be able to either select their old name (if available) or a new one.
Additionally, we are using this opportunity to conclude and discontinue all merges of characters from Deathwing/Ragnaros and Warsong. If you haven't transferred your characters by this date, they will no longer be available.
We're tremendously pleased to also announce the release of Armory API, which will allow advanced users to extract miscellaneous data from the armory. In layman terms, players will be able to integrate various data on their websites, whether RP or guild based and whatever their heart may desire as long as the API can support it. In other website news, the marketplace will be reviewed and past suggestions will be also taken into account. All marketplace changes will be in accordance to the realm's design. (e.g no gear on Lordaeron's marketplace).
With the new API, will you guys implement it onto the forum to have it look like blizzard forums? (Showing a character/archiv/level/server/etc on the avatar slot), because that would totally complete the blizz like experience, and well its Warname, that would awesome.
Will permabanned accounts have their character names cleaned up? Is it possible to at least clean up the names on my permabanned account so i can start over under the same name? :S
Is this going to affect lv 1 characters which are going to be logged before cleanup happens? Are they gonna be erased or flagged to rename? Does it matter if these are on premium accounts or not?
