Artem Report post Posted July 29, 2006 Hi, I have set up a mirror: http://www.makhutov.org/el/mirror/online_players.htm The page is updated every minute. The server has a very high avability (>98%/Year) and is located in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. So you can safely use this mirror. Paraniod people can still use the original el website as fallback. I hope this will solve your problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roswell_r Report post Posted July 29, 2006 That is good of you, however there are many sites and bots now using the Online player list, if we could get everybodys attention to use a mirror then that would take even more load off the server. Additionally entropy might be planning to move the list to the EL webserver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LabRat Report post Posted August 25, 2006 Artem Great service, I use it constantly, PM me ingame to discuss some form of payment as for the stripped down lists: http://www.tcofel.be/onlineplayers.txt for the online players, or http://www.tcofel.be/onlinebots.txt for the online bots. The separator is ' ' (space, \0x20). The files are updated every 60 seconds. To see my use of the page: http://www.tcofel.be/ (tcofel - TC of EL, (TC) The Crusaders of Eternal Lands) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artem Report post Posted August 26, 2006 I am syncing my list every 60 seconds. You can sync to my server how often you want. A html free version will be implemented soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted August 26, 2006 I am syncing my list every 60 seconds. You can sync to my server how often you want. A html free version will be implemented soon. A sure way to get banned from connecting to the server is to fetch information from the game server every 60 seconds without permission from Entropy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artem Report post Posted October 9, 2006 Hi, my Server is down to a hardware mailfunction. Please use an other server for that time. The Problem will be fixed tomorrow by my ISP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabRat Report post Posted October 9, 2006 Hi, my Server is down to a hardware mailfunction. Please use an other server for that time. The Problem will be fixed tomorrow by my ISP. Thanks for the heads up, I have gone back to the original EL server, and requesting the page once every 10 minutes so there will be some delay between logging on/off and appearing online/offline but a little is better than nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artem Report post Posted October 10, 2006 Hi, so, the server is up and running again. A RAM Module has failed and was exchanged. Ah and I forgot: My server is syncing only every 5 minutes to the el-website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WizzKidd Report post Posted October 31, 2006 So I guess now we all may as well just use the file Entropy is providing.. we are still limited to once every 5 mins. So, Maybe if one person could ask for permission to poll it every minute, and then offer a consumable page for the rest of us? That would rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
