Update - Oct 12, 2014

Hi everyone! I hope you like the changes we've made to the site:

1) menu changes
2) fixed a few bugs
3) added new capabilities

Check out the "Tools" menu - player comparison, alliance comparison - soon to come, alliance graphs.

Data for Oct 12th week uploaded too! Just for your amusement!

Hope you like it!

Update Oct 5th, 2014

We've fixed the page centering on the site. Please let us know if it works - or if it doesn't.

We've also changed the scaling for the Player graph - it uses date orientation now instead of the upload orientation. The graphs should be more true to value over time.

I've uploaded the newest data for Oct 5th.

More to come!

Keep checking back and let us know how we're doing and what we can do better.

Yours in EW

Update Oct 3, 2014

What you can expect in the next few days:
Updated data
a small redesign of the web site (centering, changed menu structure, graphs for alliance data, and a change in the horizontal scale on the graphs to Date oriented rather than upload sequence orientation)

What we still need to do:
optimize the database
automate the upload so that it happens weekly, no matter what (i.e. doesn't depend on me waking up early Sunday morning to do it manually)
add in new features like:
  statistical analysis on player and alliance information
  player comparison
  alliance history
 

We are considering the following (completely open for more suggestions):
  creating a 'track your alliance page specifically for alliance leaders"
  we're trying to figure out how to track tournaments (not saying we can, but we are investigating this)
  sector wide analysis and sector comparisons with graphs
  predictive analysis on player levels, force, alliances, and sectors

As always, we are open to suggestions

P.S. Donations are welcome!

Update Sept 29, 2014

Greetings!

Some of you have noticed, GamerProgress.com is back on-line with updated data. :D

There have been some really good suggestions on how I can improve the site, please keep the suggestions coming. :D

Implementing some of the suggestions, and automated updates are part of Phase II of the revamping of the site. I'm going to keep the suggestion box open until Oct 19th, and then I intend to move forward with Phase II.

As with all things computer, it costs real time and money to accomplish these things. ;)

So I am 'asking' for donations to cover the costs. Please go to the Support page to make a donation. :o

Sept 21, 2014 - Code Fixed! Data uploaded! New discussion awaits ...

Update Sept 21, 2014

We are finally back online.

Code has been updated and fixed. Data has been updated with what we could salvage.

We can download and upload new data! We did miss about three weeks worth of data - so please don't get upset and complain. We did the best we could given the circumstances.

Now that we are back online and you can use the site to query data about alliances and members etc, I would like to open up a discussion about what other features that you would like to see.

I am going to invest a bit more time, effort, and money to attempt to bring you the statistics, queries, etc that you would find most helpful.

So, please respond with suggestions on how we can make the site more useful to you - the participants of Edgeworld.

Again, thanks for your patience while we worked through the issues.

GamerProgress

P.S. Here are some suggestions that have already come in for improvements, in no particular order:

1) graphical comparison between players, even across sectors
2) graphical comparison between alliances, even across sectors
3) ...

add your ideas here !!!!!!

September 19th, 2014

I hope everyone is noticing that the site is getting some long needed TLC.

We are still working through cleaning up the code, but we hope to have it all finished by this weekend.

We also hope that we will be able to post new data for several weeks in August and the current week in September. Due to other issues, we will have a couple of weeks were no data was collected, so you are going to see a gap in the statistics. Our apologies.

Regards in EW!
