News - GotRank

19 Apr 2004 @ 01:23

Guere and I (Infinity) have spend a lot of time in GotRank.

GotRank consists of a website and bots.
A bot for an IRC channel of a clan can be requested at the website.
A bot will idle in that channel, and will display the ranking of that clan when someone types !rank.

That's not all though, the bot can also show the upcomming war and the results of the last played war. Also, all settings and preferences like the clanname, ladders, and colors can be edited using the website.

More features will be added in the next few weeks, including more stats and more languages!

The bots have been running at my server for a while. Even though gotrank was still in it's beta stage over 30 channels requested a bot. If that rate of requests would hold on, the system would be full very quick. So we needed a host for GotRank.

We asked akra, the main server admin of GetFragged (our gameserver host), if he could host our bots. He was very enthusiastic and set up a shell account for us right away and provided everything we needed.

update: getfragged isn't hosting gotrank anymore
