Default EQ2 Server Status

I know this is a little off topic, but does anyone make a downloadable server status or up/down monitor for EQ2 yet? Ive done google searchs, but have only come up empty handed...

Thanks...

Well I know here at EQ2Interface there is a page:

http://www.eq2interface.com/index.php?page=patcher

at the top it says All Servers Up

Only other place I know is:

http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/network_status.vm

There should be a way to parse the servers.vm page on the Sony site, similar to the way some guilds have the Guild Roster mirrored on their sites and the folks using the Dynamic Signatures that parse the Player pages on the SoE site. All of that would have to be done in a scripting language like PhP.

The simple way to do that would be just mimic what is on the Server.vm page i.e. they say "All Servers Up" your page would say "All Servers Up", or of course if some were down it would also list them.

The Fancy way would be to determine if the server you care about is up or down, and then put in the proper logic into the PhP Script to say for example the server you care about is Blackburrow, the server.vm page say "All Servers Up" the script would translate this to Blackburrow is Up. But if Blackburrow appeared in the list of servers that are down, it would display Blackburrow is Down.

This is a website for EverQuest II User Interface mods and not really PHP programming, but one day I may wrap my brain around the code that it would take to do this... (I would love to have it on my Guild's Website).... If I do try and get it working I'll link a download here. But sure it's possible.

It's entirely possible

This is entirely possible... in fact I did it a while ago! Unfortunately SoE has been trying to remove all traces of my program, even though it doesn't violate the TOS whatsoever (it follows one of the previously suggested ideas- parse the web page).

EQ2 Server Status runs on the task bar and gives a nice Green/Red quick status for your server. The program is very customizable, and although still very early in development, works wonders. Hell, I use it

Check it out, and please please please please pass the word around, especially since Sony has made it hard on me: http://www.tmccraw.com/eq2/

Thanks!

I can not allow links to programs that ask for your EQ2 Login name and password.

since there are no other posts to this pretty old thread, can I assume that there is no ("legal/unproblematic") solution to get the server status on your own homepage?
(I don't see a server status btw on this homepage either, was that removed then?)

Until one can be done that SOE approves of, my only suggestion would be to bookmark the Server Status page. While it may take a bit more work to get there than a separate program, it's still relatively quick and easy.

If you're looking for a way to do this from a web page, consider making an applet that pings servername.everquest2.com when the page loads and parses the result. If I recall, server down will return server unreachable or somesuch. (Overdoing this might be bad for your server, mmmmkay?)

If you're looking for something from within eq2 this might just be what you're looking for. Scroll all the way down.
