Legacy Players: A Community-Driven World of Warcraft Data Platform

What is Legacy Players?

Legacy Players is a community-driven project that aims to create a platform for World of Warcraft players across various expansion packs to share raid logs, PvP logs, and armory data. Its primary objective is to archive data from all private servers, ensuring easy accessibility. The system parses combat logs uploaded by players, offering valuable insights into raid performance.

Legacy Players in its current form, was initiated in 2022 by the Turtle WoW Team, who took charge of hosting and maintaining the platform when the original version went offline. Recognizing its value to the private server community, they were determined not to let it fade away. Legacy Players' ultimate goal is to foster unity within the Legacy-WoW community, preserving memories of raids, characters, and PvP, while also providing useful tools.

Despite a challenging start, Legacy Players is now under proper maintenance, with increased developer contributions and a robust infrastructure for future growth. It is expanding its support to more private servers, addressing long-overdue bug fixes, and nearing a significant release that will include support for Turtle WoW's custom content (v1.17.1).

How does it work?

To upload a raid to Legacy Players, combat logs must be collected and uploaded using the provided main and helper addons, which are available for Vanilla, TBC, and WoTLK. Having at least one player with the helper addon enabled during the raid significantly improves data accuracy. It's important to note that the ./Logs/WoWCombatLog.txt file must be removed before entering the raid.

Once an account is created (email confirmation is not required), players can upload a ZIP archive of the ./Logs/CombatLog.txt file to https://legacyplayers.com/contribute/upload, selecting the corresponding realm. Within a minute, the raid information becomes visible in the PvE overview. Users can easily track their upload history in their account settings for convenient sharing.

Can I add my own private server?

Certainly! Legacy Players aims to benefit as many players and servers as possible. To add your server, simply reach out to Niralthas via Legacy Players's official Discord channel (#legacy-players). For seamless integration, an exporter is provided so that your server can directly interact with LegacyPlayer's API, automating the larger part of the logging process for your players.
