News and Updates

2008-3-16Attempting to incorporate some AI into PoxShop's thought process. This can be seen by the new color-coding on the full runes page.

2008-3-11Added recipes for all discovered exotics, so this should make the values more accurate. Working on Player Rated Rune System. Almost done.

2007-7-31Added a graph for each rune that shows its RuneRank™ over the past week. See what all those donations have done to me already?!

2007-7-30Reimplemented User Accounts! I've also added an area for automated rune donations. I would appreciate even your junk runes as a token of support. I apln on using them as prizes for contests and other things. Also, you receive points for different kinds of donations, which will eventually be used to claim prizes and gain access to advanced features. Currently, all you need is 20 points to use the "complete rune list" feature. I know it isn't much, but I am working on many new features, most notably of which, is the integration of player store stocks and prices. Be sure to thank your popular player-run stores for their cooperation!

2007-7-16PoxShop now links each individual rune to its entry in PoxWiki. PoxWiki also links back to PoxShop. Rune links are now fully operational.

2007-7-8Added the Trade Evaluator. It analyzes a trade and that trade's current bids. Use it for a ballpark figure. It's still in development.

2007-7-7Huge update. Completely redesigned layout. Added RuneRank™ for all runes. Added an area to view player managed rune stores with links to their threads in the Trader forum. Added an area to view trading statistics. User accounts won't work, but I am working on integrating them and adding cool features for those who register with PoxShop. Please send your feedback to Ogre!

2007-7-5Added sprites images for Drums of War release set. Added sprites images for Xulos, Undead Sage and Talgar Ironfist. Talgar won't show up in the dropdown list until he is officially released. You can see him here until then.

2007-7-3Fixed direct links to runes. Runes that share names between factions or rarities still do not work, and although I know how to do it, I won't have the time until later this week. Rune linkage example: http://www.poxshop.com/rune/xulosundeadsage. You can use these links in the PoxNora forums!

2007-7-2Hey, things look a little different around here, eh? Be sure to check out the RuneRank values for me and let me know what you think.

2007-3-31Spruced up the design and imagery a bit. Let me know what you think!

2007-3-31Added Champion and Relic rune sprites! Many love him, many think he's crazy, but thanks to Modemas (for doing the dirty work) you can now see the beautiful images of your favorite champion or relic as you analyze them!

2007-3-20Accounts beta implemented. To create an account, complete the authorization process. Features associated with accounts are forthcoming. There is no way to retrieve passwords, currently, so don't forget it! Please, do not attempt to abuse the system. Your IP is 71.212.3.156.

2007-3-14Added a filter to the rune search. Thanks Milambus! Added a "Credits and Kudos" section.

2007-3-6Added a poll and rearranged the site layout a little bit. Let me know what you think (through the poll, of course!)

2007-3-5Added "Top Runes." In case you're wondering, they're sorted in the following order: median, average, high. So, if two tie for the median value, whichever one has the highest average value will win. If that's a tie, then it checks to see which one has traded for the highest (filtered) value.

2007-3-5Added "Faction Values." These values do NOT include Limited Edition runes or duplicates, such as having two of a certain rune. Please wait until the end of today for these values to stabilize, as it takes the script several hours to update each rune with new information.

2007-3-5You may notice certain rares having Lowest values of 999999. That's due to a silly error on my part. The script should have them repaired by 10 a.m. CST. Late this afternoon, I will add a "Total value by faction" or "by rarity" area. I'm excited about that area, because I want to see how closely it lines up with the "What's your favorite faction" poll at PoxNora.

2007-3-4Added "Value of a complete set." This includes all Limited Edition runes, and assumes the collection has two of each and every rune. I will implement a "Total value by faction" or "by rarity" tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

2007-3-4You may now search for the LE version of the Avenging Angel by using Avenging_Angel_LE as the link. Same thing with the Pox Harbingers. Be sure to analyze the rune for the link, though. If a rune has a custom search link, it will now be displayed below the analysis information.

2007-3-4A few issues have been identified with the clean URLs. Since they are based off the rune's name, there isn't a way to search for the LE version of the Avenging Angel... or the Pox Harbingers. PoxNora's handling of single apostrophes also poses a problem with certain runes, such as the G'herns and Grimlic's Mirror, among others. I will endeavor to develop a workaround for that. But first, I will make the LE runes "linkable."

2007-3-3Implemented clean URLs. You may now link to PoxShop like this: G'hern Overlord or like this: G'hern_Overlord. Notice the links. One has an underscore instead of a space, and the other is just the opposite. Please send feedback AND let me know whether you would like the ability to generate a set of links for your trade posts!

2007-3-3An indicator has been added to indicate the directional change in the median from the previous median value. Don't worry folks, charts are forthcoming!

2007-3-2I have adjusted the algorithm to establish a median value, which is based, in part, on the average, high and low values. These values will begin to appear in the next 24 hours. If it reports the median as "zero," please be patient, and check back the next day.

2007-2-26I have weighted more heavily those trades that have occured in the past 30 days and less heavily those trades that have occured more than 120 days ago. I'll be watching the values over the next 24 hours to see what they look like. Please send feedback.

2007-2-26A note on the calculations: The rune values only reflect Rune-for-Credit trades CURRENTLY. I am still working with someone on completing a Runes-for-Runes/Credits (and vice versa) algorithm. Once that has rolled out, it will "see" trades like Rune A trading for Rune B, Rune C, Rune Etc. Until then, use these values as guidelines, and take note that they do, indeed, run a little lower/higher than the generally accepted values.

2007-2-26It seems the rune values weren't updating properly. My apologies. This has been corrected. Rune values now update over a 24 hour period. If a given rune value hasn't been updated within the past 24 hours, it is now queued for updating.

2007-2-3The calculations are now stored in a separate table, so analyze response time is several times faster. I plan to update the cached values once a week, or as often as is requested through feedback.

2007-2-2Please give the server a few moments to run its calculations. I plan on caching these values soon, so things will be more optimal.

2007-2-2The algorithm for determining rune value is still being developed. Currently, it is very simple, but that will change soon. So, these values should be used as ballpark figures!

2007-2-1Basic, proof-of-concept website established.
