WoW Explorer 1.0.4

Posted in Gadgets, WoW Explorer

We’ve had a lot of chatter concerning the lack of European realm status on this gadget and we felt it was time to get moving on it. Actually, we got a great tip (thanks Bertrand!) that WoW-Europe.com has an XML feed, they just decided to hide it from everyone for some weird reason. You can imagine how much easier that makes everything.

So now if you download the gadget and live in Europe, just head into the settings panel on the gadget and change your region to EU and hit okay. Voila! You can now track most of the realms in the feed.

We say most of the realms because there was a rather large problem getting the Russian Cyrillic characters to save in the profile. Until we can figure out how to get them properly encoded, those playing on Russian realms will have to look elsewhere for status tracking. We apologize for this and hope that we can get this fixed up in the future.

Also, if you run across an entry in the list that says “Alert”, don’t save it, it’s just an indicator for various maintenance activities. If you do save it, when it disappears, you may have to reset the gadget.

    I was surprised that the gadget can only display status of one realm at a time, some players such as myself are active on two realms. Any chance of an option to tag more than one realm status for display in the gadget box?

    We had a feeling people would want more than one realm, which is why the flyout can contain a number of realms in it for quick display. Odds are though we’ll figure something out for additional realm displays in the future either with a couple listed or with some buttons to show more of the list.

    Balthazz, Karazhan is on the EU realm list. If it isn’t coming up in search, try a lower case k or scroll down, but it’s there.

    i’m having a problem where the flyout appears to the left no matter which side of my screen my sidebar is on…is there a way to fix that?

    Sheatz, this is more of a weird sidebar glitch, but it can happen if you have dual monitors and place the gadget at a specific place on the screen. For Vista, simply attaching it to the sidebar should fix it, for Windows 7, this is indeed an odd bug. Unfortunately, we cannot decide which side the flyout opens in the code, it’s very sidebar Dependant.
