Gigantic World of Warcraft database debuted

WARCRY NETWORK ANNOUNCED today the debut of their new, comprehensive World of Warcraft Database (WoW DB). In development since December 2004, and actively collecting since May, WoW DB promises users NPC and monster locations with pinpoint maps, game-consistent color coding of items, clear Elite-creature notations, and a consistent data system resulting in low data errors.

By installing the free add-on, "Scout", players will gain access to a few nifty in-game features, such as the ability to highlight vendors, trainers, transportation, mailboxes and more - and if any of this makes sense to you, then obviously this is something to look into.

"Scout" is also the backbone for WoW DB, collecting real-time data for monster and NPC locations, loot drops, quests, item statistics and so on. "We set out to deliver one of the most robust WoW databases available," said Jason Smith, Director of WarCry Network Operations. "We accomplished this by thinking outside of the box and adding features that no other database to date has offered. By using player-contributed data, the community can benefit from a broad sampling of data, as well as some added perks yet to come."

"In the near future," continued Smith, "visitors to the site will be able to store their own profile and see every piece of information about all of their characters' statistics, inventories, and even professions. There will even be an option of storing their completed quests and kill statistics."

To celebrate the release of WoW DB and Scout, WarCry is giving away prizes to the top data contributors, including three top prizes of admission to BlizzCon, Blizzard's inaugural fan celebration in Anaheim, California in October.
