Since 7:00am (10:00am EDT), the EQ2 Census service has been down. https://census.daybreakgames.com/eq2/ We haven't heard any word on what's going on or when it will return. I've sent an e-mail to the Census support address but I don't know if it's monitored.
Q: What is Census (the Data API)? A: Census is a public web service allowing Daybreak websites, third-party sites, and player-run fansites to access data about certain Daybreak games. Currently supported games are EverQuest II, Planetside 2, and DC Universe Online (FAQ entry from Dec '16). Q: What data is available from EQ2 Census? A: Static data includes Quests, Recipes, Items, Spells, Alternate Advancements, Achievements, Factions, Languages, Skills, Beastlord Warders, Collections, and Marketplace. Dynamic data includes Characters and Guilds. For instance you can determine which quests a character has completed, which achievements they've earned, and what items they have equipped. Also, I believe @Dreamweaver confirmed the recent issue of characters disappearing from the login screen mentioned in the bug forums is related to the current issues with Census.
That's actually the one thing we have been strictly prohibited from doing. EQ2 Census lets fans build websites like EQ2U Players, Dragons' Armory, and Roster Master.
Try EQ2U Website ----> https://u.eq2wire.com/soe/character_detail/2168963181335 Even as a guest you can Look Up all kinds of things about your Characters. Don't know that this covers everything that the Census does but perhaps it'd help when Census is down?
Nope. EQ2Wire uses the Census to provide that information. When the census is down, that data cannot be updated.
Is it still down? I saw updates on EQ2U yesterday for quests I completed on both Thurgadin and Test so I assumed it was running again.
Thank you for following up on this. I am wondering if there is a firewall rule in effect of some kind? I show that 3,500 characters have been updated from Census on EQ2U in the last 4 days. I'm not sure how. Every time I try to load the site, I get: This census.daybreakgames.com page can’t be found No webpage was found for the web address: https://census.daybreakgames.com/s:eq2wire/eq2/ HTTP ERROR 404
For me, https://census.daybreakgames.com/s:example/get/eq2/ works. Without the /get/ in it, it throws the 404 error.
