To celebrate the anniversary of the loss of character data Wink the Oracle has added the Wayback Machine!

Party like it's Update 17 all over again with the full guild rosters of May 2013, complete with character build information.   Look up your past selves and see how green you were, raise a glass in remembrance to those no longer with us, and relive the glory days as you peruse the names of long kicked drama queens.

Kicked? Oh yes.  The Oracle's All Seeing Eye scrys most insidiously, including on the dead and gone.  Guild rosters include previous guild members and accounts that were archived due to inactivity.

Should prove lots of fun, so enjoy.  Given what's in the other thread, everyone's going to want to pull up Hero Inc!  And there's probably a party game in finding what other guilds people were in.

Now that's not fair, I haven't even gotten a bug report to ignore yet.

Bug Report:

Character grayed-out who has never been inactive or kicked. Also, level data from level and build columns is contradictory.

I supposed I asked for that.  If MyDDO got it wrong then it may or may not be wrong, as the Oracle fixes some MyDDO errors, but if data from Turbine was broken enough, it's DOA. Still, a specific world, guild & character name please.

For past characters, I will simply say I have looked into dozens of cases of 'not in our guild' reports in the past when it was live, and every case turned out to be correct, including several cases of people allowed into guilds for a single day without the guild at large knowing.

There is an edge case -- aLicLan, for which there were actually 2(!) identically named guilds, a data error that causes the old dead one masks the much larger guild in the future.  ;-/   If there's one, there may be a few others.  Again, world/guild/character please, but there'll be less investigation of things people have shown get forgotten.

The Sarlonian Guild Draconis Immortalis doesn't exist according to your site.  I can assure you it does now and has done since early 09.
  
So you want to know about an exploit?
PM Epoch For Details. Or, in case you don't already know, OnePercenter controls the Exploits Board. Lastly, if you're truly desperate, Vendui Tells Everyone

I assume it's because of a reroll reusing the same first name, but I'll pm you info anyway.

The Oracle would need ads in order to 'get' clicks.

There was on Khyber.  There's also "The Knights Who Say Boosh" on Thelanis.
