We're in the process of deploying a new, open World of Warcraft Web API, which among other functions will provide a more fully-featured replacement for the existing WoWArmory website. Over the past few months we?ve been working with our partners and fansites to help them migrate away from using WoWArmory.com, and on August 2 we will decommission it, as well as the WoWArmory Facebook application.

When the Facebook application is turned off, users who installed it will no longer see it in their list of Facebook applications. They will also no longer have the ability to access Facebook pages that were associated with the application, and all news feed entries created by it will be removed.

Our hope is that through the new Web API, we can encourage a broad range of community-created features like the WoWArmory application, and are excited to see what else can be done by opening this information up to application and website developers. If you have any questions or comments about this change, please refer to our World of Warcraft Community Platform API forum here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/2626217/

Don't forget Bobby wants his revenue....signing deals with the devil (facebook) to get a portion of that sweet sweet social networking pie is right up his alley.

In some ways, I wish that game studios stayed independent and away from the likes of EA and such.

Well since their customers rejected Real ID, Facebook had no interest in getting info on Bogdod the 85 Orc Warrior. They need real names to farm that information out!

Obligatory comment about how there's many different development teams working within Blizzard and the people developing the APIs for web services are not connected to the people developing and balancing content in the game.

Obligatory comment about how I agree, but think some of their "side" projects are cool additions to the game. tongue
