Forum:New Fan Site

Hello there,

I'm the lead creator of Maldy.net, a site where we evaluate a char using his level, gear, professions and, mainly, achievements. With that we get a score and calculate this score as a value for the char. It's a fun tool which I want to share with you.

Note that Maldy don't support the illegal market of chars, it's just for fun!

I'll appreciate if you can spread the word of Maldy in your site, in your guild and to your friends. And also, I'll be happy to hear from you anything, critics, praises, sugestions... anything!

You can reach me by email (maldy at maldy.net) or in-game (at Warsong US as Granfino)

Thanks for your attention :D

 * Feel free to add it to the list at Fansites. 04:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Be warned, despite the attempt to evade Blizzard's selling of virtual goods policy, Maldy.net appears to be a web site for pricing WoW characters for sale, which is definitely against Blizzard's ToU (Terms of Use). So don't be surprised if Maldy.net gets deleted from fansites.
 * However, the problem could just be a bad english translation of what the site is really for. If it's just a gear score site, that's probably fine. --[[Image:gengar orange 22x22.png]] Fandyllic (talk &middot; contribs) 10:46 AM PST 12 Nov 2010
 * Yeah, not really sure what the point of assigning a dollar value to characters is. Just use a simple point system (i.e. gear score) if you want to compare e-peen. -- 17:50, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the site would be much more useful if it displayed a bit of information about how the "price" was obtained. For example, what part of the price is determined by the toon's level, the toon's achievements, the toon's gear, etc?  Is there a special value assigned to legendary items or feats of strength?  Not only would this make the site more helpful for legitimate users, but it would also make it more objective for the illegal trade too.  From a Wowpedia perspective, we should look for things like "this character is worth +20% because it is on ______ server where few others have _____ item".  If the pricing reflects differences between servers, then it is definitely supporting the illegal trade.  If it is nothing more than taking your gearscore and putting a dollar sign in front of it, then that is harmless.  Of course, as Pcj pointed out, you could quite easily remove the dollar sign to reduce the perception of being intended for character trade.  I understand the theme of the website (Maldy the greedy Goblin) requires it to be about money... but perhaps it could be denominated in gold pieces?  If $700US was changed to  then it would honestly fit the theme better. Ddcorkum (talk) 00:02, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, maldy.net is on Fansites now, so the point is moot unless someone wants to do a little more thorough investigation on whether it violates Blizzard's ToU. --[[Image:gengar orange 22x22.png]] Fandyllic (talk &middot; contribs) 11:51 AM PST 14 Nov 2010
