A Starcraft fan has developed a code that captures the current games created at Battle.net and stores them in a database. A simple php script then takes the data from the database and sums up the # of times each map has been created.



Battle.net has always been watching us constantly since it was created. Our gaming preferences, our trends, when we play, when we don't etc. It is very passive and they use it only for company future game development and so on. Who cares. Well apparently the infamous starcraft fan, accused in the past of site hacking and other vile things, Synd]i[cate has been busy with something productive this time. It is high time that Starcraft fans watch Battle.net too! Good for him!

Basically the data will tell you what are the most popular maps, map-types and other interesting things, for some that is. He currently is scanning the gateway EAST. Hopefully soon he will scan each server and put to rest many myths about each one.

Click of course at your own risk, lol.
