Title: FindUo not Updating as fast as it used to
Post by: Endless Night on July 28, 2009, 09:31:33 AM

Anyone else noticing that www.Finduo.com Does not seem to be updating as fast as it used to ?

The problem goes even further.  My house just outside of the East Gate in Luna is not even listed.  I have posted in their 'House Not Listed' Forum more than a couple of times, but it seems to get ignored.  SearchUO seems more responsive and lists a lot more Venders than FindUO does.

we had a similar problem oracle. we had two vendors on a house just outside of luna. TTs vendor showed just fine, but mine didn't. then one day, mine started to show up again, and then a week later it was gone again. it was completely random why his showed and not mine

I mean it still looks good and functions properly .. but the database is just not updating.

I stopped using searchuo.com as they were only listing thier sponsored vendors .. so i guesss ill start trying ultimacodes.com jeeze.

I stopped messing with SearchUO after they made the massive changes to their site which made it pretty much suck and they list very few vendors compared to others.

FindUO has been my favorite but as of late it has been kinda funky, they didn't update ATL for almost a week...but then it was getting updated every 3 hours...dunno if they are having some issues or what.

I haven't tried ultimacodes in a long time, I will have to give them a try again.

Yea I utterly despise the new searchuo, but finduo has been failing me miserably. I have also gone on to ultimacodes.com and it's pretty decent

The good thing about Ultimacodes is that it does ALL the shards not just the US shards. The bad thing is it only does Luna and not Zento.

Title: Re: FindUo not Updating as fast as it used to

I never find anything in Zento anyways, as long as it hits the whole area surrounding Luna I am good.

I prefer finduo.com myself.  I do use both it and searchuo, but my guilds vendor house ( 3 houses outside the south gate of luna) only seems to be getting updated every 3 to 4 weeks.  I mean, wtf.  That's nearly useless.

This ultimacodes.com sounds interesting, and I'll be taking a look at it very soon.

When I am doing any serious searching I use ultimacodes...but I do use finduo a lot...even though I have been irritated with them since the change over, I still like them the best for a fast search, and being able to see (when they update) everything around luna too...I seem to get my best deals outside "the walls"

I use finduo and searchuo for cross referencing. Often times one has something listed that the other does not. I do like that searchuo has an easy boolean function that doesn't require the 'and/or/not' switches or anything like that.

Title: Re: FindUo not Updating as fast as it used to
Post by: Toptwo on July 29, 2009, 05:00:49 AM

Yeah, but for the most part that cross-referancing isnt worth a poop..since Search uo isnt any where near as comprehensive..just yesterday I did a search before I went off to sit in the bank on Atl and sell some HW runic's I did a search on SearchUO...it showed NO HW runics for sale, but Find UO showed 6 (and it had been updated fairly recently). So yes, it can be used as a cross-referencing tool...just dont base TO much on it.

Too true, as for surely both sites can be at least a day behind

Title: Re: FindUo not Updating as fast as it used to
Post by: Endless Night on July 29, 2009, 05:38:42 AM

UltimaCodes  seems to be uptodate, Unfrotunatly UltimaCodes doesnt List Zento or outside Luna.
Finduo is still listing stuff i purchased 2 days ago.
Searchuo never listed 1/2 the stuff initially. (no zento/outside luna)
   
Finduo is/was definatly the best choice and ill be using it again if they can get then updates back on schedule.

A Quote from Finduo Website.. this probably has something to do with it...

Quote

Our store is now live, and will be updated to compete with competitor pricing. We are now sponsored by Searchuo.com and deliverys of items are now instant! You can live chat with delivery anytime and pickup your items moments after payment

So it seams that its all merging together...

That sux cause searchuo is biased to who is paying the their bills.

Title: Re: FindUo not Updating as fast as it used to
Post by: Xclio on July 31, 2009, 01:18:51 PM

That really blows because SearchUO has gone way down the drain....hope they don't kill FindUO off.

Title: Re: FindUo not Updating as fast as it used to

If they do anything like they are doing to searchuo they will destroy it .  But since they are just sponsering the site who knows?  But does sponsoring have to do with $$$ all the way?

I deleted my search uo link.. worthless at this point and find uo is not doing the job for me anymore either

Sounds like it's time to start the ScriptUO marketplace search engine  ;)  ;) Somebody better start scripting!!!

Speacily project anyone... wouldnt be that hard to write .. would take a couple account to keep updated i would imagine.

I have this all written, but it's just such a pain to manage.  You have to keep the bots running along from house to house.  I was monitoring Pacific, Atlantic, Sonoma, Baja and Napa at one point in my testing.  And I still see nobody has done the BOD scanner yet.  That was a feature on mine.  It's slow for sure, but it worked.  For an average size shard, it would take about 90 minutes to scan just Luna.  So in order to make updates efficient, it would take more than just a couple accounts running 24/7.
