Hi all,
I am happy to report that the archive project is just about complete! You are now able to see runs that used to live on speedrun.com/wow on the following leaderboards
Important note: We have done the best we can to recover as many runs as possible and recreate the leaderboards faithfully, but there will be a few mistakes. If a run of yours is missing, please join the discord and post in the missing runs channel and we will add it asap.
All Dragonflight runs moving forward can be submitted to their respective leaderboards:
- Leveling
- Dungeons & Raids
- Zone Completions (launching soon!)
- Dragonriding
Lastly, I would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Permok, who automated several parts of this process and saved MANY hours of copy/pasting data.
Happy running!
Hi Everyone, it's Mortia here with a few updates on what's going on this month.
Warcraft Archive Series
Over the past few weeks, a lot of spreadsheeting has been done and we are getting close to all pre-Dragonflight runs being on the Archive Series. The archive leaderboards will have the runs performed in that expansion preserved there so that the current-expansion leaderboards can be clean and clearly display current runs.
As of the 12th, we have all of the data for past runs downloaded and are working on formatting it for resubmission within the next 1-2 weeks. We've done our best to capture everything we can, though there is a strong chance that a few runs will have gone missing. Once the runs are up, if a past run of yours is missing please shout in the discord.
Leaderboards
Recently, the Dungeons and Raids re-launched and runners are getting their times in. If you've ever wanted to do Legacy Raids FAST give it a shot!
The Leveling Leaderboards are under construction due to the archive project, as we had to un-archive many categories to access their run data. Look forward to them being back to normal shortly.
The Classic Era and Season of Discovery leaderboards are under construction with the help of our new Moderator Ksuper, who will be preparing those for launch soon.
The Zone Completions leaderboard will be launching within the next two weeks. If you're interested in running Zone Completions, leave ideas and feedback in the discord!
Just a reminder, run verifications are on hold for the leaderboards that are under construction, but all are set to be launching soon!
Lastly, categories and runs are a collaborative effort because it's the community that makes this all work. If you have feedback on categories, rule sets, questions, etc. please shout in the discord. Both mods and community members are eager to discuss!
Announcement: Introducing the World of Warcraft Archive Series on Speedrun.com
To our dedicated World of Warcraft speedrunning community,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the "World of Warcraft Archive Series" on speedrun.com. This new category has been established with a sole mission in mind: preserving the rich history and legacy of WoW speedruns.
Why the Archive Series? World of Warcraft, in its decades-long journey, has seen countless expansions, patches, and changes. While these shifts redefine our gameplay experiences, they also influence speedrunning routes, strategies, and timings. The Archive Series aims to safeguard the incredible efforts and achievements of our speedrunners through various expansions and patches.
How Does it Work? Upon the conclusion of an expansion, speedruns associated with that era will move into the Archive Series. This separation ensures that our primary leaderboard remains a competitive space for the game's current state, without overshadowing the commendable feats achieved in the past.
Mid-Expansion Leaderboard Resets Recognizing the transformative nature of some patches, we've instituted a community-driven voting mechanism. speedrunners can vote on whether a particular patch has brought about changes significant enough to warrant a leaderboard reset. This ensures that the leaderboards remain relevant and competitive, reflecting the current state of the game.
You can find the link here: https://www.speedrun.com/series/World_of_Warcraft_Archive_Series
Announcement: The WoW Speedrun.com leaderboard will be locked until January 1st due to a major overhaul.
Once updated, we encourage everyone to dive in and explore running the various categories from the 16th onwards!
