On April 22nd, 2009, Allakhazam (now known simply as ZAM) relaunched their EQ2 Portal. First announced at Fan Faire in August ’08, the new website is the first (and possibly only?) fan site with live data feeds directly from EQ2. This means that EQ2 Zam has live Broker search which are on just a few minutes delay. Also, loot drops from the various dungeons now have actual percentage drop rates.
As of April 28, EQ2 ZAM’s live data is only available for US servers. No word on when EU and other servers will be providing this data.
I will say the new EQ2 ZAM portal is a bit startling. The new color scheme and new style is attractive (no more station wagon green!), but I would love to see a splash page or entry page which has lots of highlights on what is new to the site and recently new to EQ2.
It should be noted that this is not just a new skin. A tremendous amount of effort has been spent over the last year upgrading, polishing, and reorganizing content in the EQ2 ZAM wiki system. I have written pages for EQ2i and I’ve written pages for EQ2 ZAM and I am quite satisfied with what ZAM has done. In particular, the TSO content seems more complete on ZAM from what I have seen.
New to EQ2 Zam:
- A live Broker feed that allows you to track sales, items, and their pricing data across all servers
- Loc’s and other detailed information on every mob
- Drop information of every item, including drop tables with exact percentages
- Quest data from the game
- Complete recipe information
