Our rollout of Warhammer features continues, and today we're presenting you with War Character Profiles!

Just ensure in the Site Admin Settings tab your game is set to Warhammer Online and your server is set to your server, and then when you try to view a character on your guild site you will see its full profile:



*note: this is currently only available for the North American servers, as it pulls information from the realmwar site; once the realmwar site is up for the european servers this will also be enabled for there.

** extra note: character profiles are cached for 24 hours once they are created, so you will only notice updates once a day

Will it be possible to have 2 games set for a guild in future?
There are some guilds who do start in one game and split after a while over several games, but still remain as a big community. So people within the "same" guild would play for example WoW and/or Warhammer. Would it, in future, be possible to keep those combined in the website, too?

Hi Conny,

This is a feature we are considering (it has been labeled it "Guild Networks" in our issue tracker and we've been looking at it for a few months now), there is actually two parts to this feature:

A "Guild Network" would be multiple sites for different games a single guild plays, that need to be tied together well.

A "Guild Alliance" would be multiple sites for different guilds that are allied with your guild, that need to be tied together well.

We are looking at supporting both of these situations with the Permissions update or shortly after it.

We initially looked at ways your guild can have multiple games on one site, but really that seems to not work well; its better to have multiple sites, one for each game, and then tie them together better, so thats what we are working towards.

So some examples of how that would work is your who's online list would show who's on each of your networked sites, you could send pms to members in other networks from any site, forums could have permissions for networked members, etc. =)

Has anyone seen bugs with this? I know the name of my toon and that it is on the server. (Other guild members display fine). But I can only see someone named Brosoma? This happens for a number of toons. Are they too new to display correctly?

Thanks
JT

Hi Catelyn,

They may not be in the realm war site yet, and should appear soon; I just checked and you are showing up now on it - http://apocalypse-pony.net/characters/67735 =)

I have a character on Phoenix Throne called Jomondo. Jomondo is coming up as a toon called Hellay.

Commented: Sep 17, 2008 @ 09:10PM

Hello,
I've started playing around with the free trial and can't seem to get the character profile to work. I've noticed on some of the guild websites it works for some and other guild sites it doesn't. I'm not sure if it was setup correctly but I filled out the server name under guild settings and set the game to warhammer online. Anyone else having any problems?

Hi Atules,

The War Char Profiles require a lookup to be made to Warhammer's Realm War site; currently, their site can perform quite slowly, due to them just launching and quite a few different sites already making scripts to interact with their site; if their site does not respond in 10 seconds it will timeout, and show the "Character not found" message.

Since new characters you add will require 2 hits to their site, one to search and find the id of the character, and another to grab the profile, there is a good chance it may timeout until they improve the performance of their site some.

In the near future they will be releasing XML feeds and then the scraping of their realm war site will not be necessary and the load times will be quick, so this is a rather temporary issue that will be fixed either by them improving the performance of their site or releasing the data as XML =)

Cheers,

hi is this for oceanic servers?
Commented: Oct 10, 2008 @ 02:05PM
Hello,

Yes oceanic servers are grouped with north american servers for the main realmwar site so this will work with them also.

It only does not work with european servers at the moment, as they have their own site war-europe.com, but that does not yet have a realmwar page to pull info from.

Haha, my character has been immortalized on your site forever! Thankfully, I've got a pretty face! Waaagh!

War-europe now has realm war, do you think we can get this linked correctly to the EU pages too pls?
Commented: Nov 15, 2008 @ 06:55AM
Hi Mactavish,

Aye a user emailed us last night to mention this to us, and we are working to get this added as soon as we can now; it should be coming fairly soon to the live version =)
Commented: Nov 15, 2008 @ 08:06AM

For some reason the EU Character profiles are not displaying, is there a setting somehwere that I need to change?
Commented: Nov 17, 2008 @ 07:17AM
For thos euro players that are having the same problem as I had, please set your location to North America - update your details then reset it to europe and update your settings once more and voila - you have character profiles from GOAs Realm War
