PSA: CCP shutting down old character portrait server
« on: 23 Oct 2013, 11:07 »
tl;dr - some 2 years and 9 months after Incursion, CCP is shutting down the server that hosted the legacy character portraits. This means that even player-hosted portrait comparison tools will no longer function, as they still pulled from CCP's database. Under the current plan, it will be kept open until the 28th to allow people to grab what pictures they want, then closing forever.

At current, Chribba is trying to get CCP to hand him the complete database so that he can host it. No word on that yet.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

and so, the memory of gallente glass dresses, and amarr righteous headwear, and caldari shoulder techno-parrots, and minmatar mohican hairdos will slowly fade.  :|

I liked one or two of my old ones, the old Khanid male portraits had some character to them. Won't really miss the rest, old Vicky was pretty terrible.

Update: The operator of the website Evewho is attempting to make a mass-download of old character photos. Unfortunately, he cannot do mass-requests and is limited to individually querying each character profile, receiving the image, saving it to his own servers, and moving onto querying the next. Even with an automated script doing this, he is throttling his attempts so as not to get his IP flagged (or melt his servers from stress).

As of 12 hours ago, he had downloaded over 250,000 image with another 1.3 million to go.

Jesus, you think CCP could just send him a couple of DVD's with them all on.

You haven't aged a day, if anything you look younger.

Missing the old accessories and clothing options something fierce.

For some reason I only have a sightly cropped image, missing out Kala's old badass topknot and incredibly low cut shirt >_>



Better image can be seen here, but annoyingly I can't copy the image over
