Unrest Charts and Event Logs

A while ago I was tinkering with the XML feed API that Flying Labs provide, which allows us to pick up game data every 10 minutes.

A dynamic map of the game world, with unrest points has definately been done before and done well (though it may get done again!) - but if you're in game, you can access the maps anyway.

What if there were a way to find out where the action is happening in near real time without having to scan the logs to see which towns are having big changes in unrest on your server?

Well now there is. I'm just testing it so please let me know via the comments or official forums whether theres any faults or innaccuracies, or whether there is some gem of information you can't find that this system could provide.

Without further ado - go along to the PotBS Companion and click on the link for 'Unrest' on the main menu. You can bookmark and go directly there via http://www.potbs-companion.net/maproom/unrest.php - but be aware this link, and the information on it is subject to change!

You may also notice on the front page that you can now see a list of site related events; if this works out well, it will be expanded to include game world events relating to unrest and port captures/battles, and maybe converted to a feed for you to follow. As usual, I appreciate any feedback on the feature!

I'm now going to see if I can go and find some unsuspecting ships to sink....!
