A year ago I was playing Warhammer Online. I made a website showing RvR history, demonstrating the status of the realm war as the fight went back and forth. The site worked pretty well but no one visited; my very biggest day, March 2 2010, had 90 page views! In the meantime the site was costing me $0.07 a week, the code recently broke, and Warhammer Online has largely failed as a game. So I'm shutting down the site, not that anyone will notice. I did take a backup of the data so if anyone wants a year's worth of history of PvP activity, I might have something interesting.
My real goal with that project was experimenting with Google App Engine and Javascript-driven websites. That worked out great. I was particularly happy with being able to use appengine to do the regular web crawl without any management on my part.
