Yesterday I spent some hours to develop a little tool in AJAX/JavaScript/VB/ASP for a game I enjoy playing when I need a break from RL

Fallen Sword is a browser based massive multiplayer online game (MMO). Pretty simple and retro, but I still like it.

The tool will help players find specific buffers quicker than normal. Select a Buff/Skill in the dropdown menu and you will get a list of potential buffers, the level of buff and price.

I have also coded the rest of the Fallen Empire Guild site.
Players or representatives will fill the database with data and hope it will come in handy for everyone in time. (I know it will at least help me)

I have made a request to the developers behind the game, to get a chance to make SOAP requests to the game servers, so I can further enhance this tool. Hope they will allow it.

Resources:

• Game site: Fallen Sword
• Find Buffers
• Experience Variation Calculator
• Attack & Damage Calculator
• Discuss the tool in public game forum

Update 2008.04.21:

Just a quick update to show the visitor bonus you can get from makeing webtools for popular online games. Notice the day 23. march in the x-axis where I released the tool.
The site went from 70-100 daily uniques to 3oo a weeks time and after that at 750-800 daily. Still growing as more and more players in the game gets aware of the tool.
