Eunalysis Official Thread: Loot Analysis Platform

[BruuD]

The first phase of the Eunalysis release has been deployed:
We have released the public GlobalTracker software!

Check it out on www.eunalysis.com

This release goes hand in hand with the new website wich is the platform for presenting the Eunalysis tracked data.
The website is far from done and we have actually not released any real statistic pages yet because the focus was on releasing a stable GlobalTracker first.
Now this phase is done and a stable base has been established, we can focus more on coding the actual statistic and analysis pages.

If you use the globaltracker you support Eunalysis!
We will be able to provide more accurate data if more people track globals.
Supporting members will get more available options on the website.
For example, personalised statistics will only be available to those who use the tracker.
The exact requirements for this type of membership has not been determined yet.
It will be announced via the website and through a personalised notification message in the client and your account will be automaticly upgraded if you meet the requirements.

We have done our best to release a completely bug-free GlobalTracker, but if you encounter any problems we encourage you to report them to us in as much detail as possible.
The upcoming week will probably be used for minor adjustments on the tracker and after that the focus will move to extending the website and deliver you the promised statistics!

Short roadmap of developments:
- Release GlobalTracker [done]
- Build public statistics
- Build personalised statistics (only for supporting members)
- Build advanced statistics and predictions (only for premium members)

All updates will be announced via this thread, so keep posted!
We encourage you to send us your feedback about Eunalysis (here on EF or via email, see website).


-----
For those who have no clue what Eunalysis is:
Eunalysis is a platform for entropia loot analysis based on the global messages that popup in the chatwindow.
Our software keeps track of these globals while you play and stores them all in a central database.
From there we are able to analyse the data and generate statistics and predictions.
The private trackers have been running since 15 may 2008 and have tracker about 95% of all globals that occured since that time.
Now, with the public release of the tracking software, we hope to be able to cover up to 99% of all globals in the near future.

Not to be a butthead or anything, but aren't you duplicating www.entropiatracker.com which seems to be doing the same thing you are?

Instead of competing, why not cooperate and make it better for all?

his project started before the tracker

Installed it and created an account. However the application says active and 0 globals, does this mean it is just tracking my globals, as opposed to all ingame ones?

Ahh, cool, didn't know that. My apologies Bruud, however my comment about cooperation and sharing data is still valid.

Working together and sharing data would be beneficial to all I would think.

entropiatracker has major issues I wouldn't want to see it corrupt data in a managed database.

Both systems have problems (ET tended to have duplicates, EUA silently dropped valid globals), how to handle the data fed by clients is the decision of the server part of the respective systems.

Since the ET client at least seems to work nicely - I havn't received any complaints so far (no clue if that's good or bad) - i don't see a real problem there.

Nice Job BruuD (except that your client dosn't work in window mode for my system) - and my offer to share data streams from the clients is still standing.

Yeah I haven't posted any 'didn't capture global XXX' in a while. Past two weeks it might have gotten a third of mine. If you want me to I can track the ones I remember when where but I've kinda gone off it and assumed it was missing two thirds of all globals. Big chunk missing from last weekend where "the data was stored and needed to be uploaded to server". 120k zinc is missing, terrudite labeled to tridenite, no section for vesperdite etc...
As you say both systems have data process issues.

Sorry for slight OT bruud
