Curse.com has released a full
item,
quest,
NPC,
spell, and
recipe database for RoM players. As a player you
can also automatically upload a profile of your character to the site using the
Curse Client. Your use of the
Curse Client will allow us to collect and upload valuable information from the
game, while also allowing you to access an enormous database of quests, items,
and of course your own personal profile. A picture is worth a thousand words; so
here's a few screenshots to help us display the wealth of information readily available
for you at RunesDB.com:
Full details on any quest!
Tons of information on every area in the game!
How does it work?
Our data collection is done via a small application which runs on Windows. It
sits quietly in your system tray, periodically sending information on entities
(monsters and npcs), items, quests, your profile, and various other small bits
of information to the ROMDB. The client poses no security threat to your system
and we do not collect any personal information such as email addresses or
passwords.
The client itself is not a hack and does not provide any advantage over other
players. All it does is collect harmless information about objects in the game.
What do we collect?
As stated above, we only collect what is necessary for our database, no
personal information or passwords are collected. Data collected from the game
includes:
- Your character's profile
- Item statistics
- Entity information (NPCs, interactable objects, monsters), including what
they drop and where they spawn
- Quest information, including which entities give you quests, and which
complete them
- Zone information
How can I help?
To submit data to the ROMDB will first need to
register for an account. Once
you have an account, you may then
download the installer. After installation you will be asked for your
username and password, enter your CurseID username and password,
not your game account login. Once done the client will work on it's own. You can
check its status and change any configuration by using the icon in your system
tray.
