Will the server status XML feed return?

Having a working server status page again is very welcome, but the XML feed that goes with it is still producing blank data:

http://na.cityofheroes.com/global/in...=na&format=xml

Interestingly, stripping the format=xml part of the URL does elicit some live data, though in a format I'm unfamiliar with:

Code:
{"timestamp":"2011-09-21 16:55:02","timezone":"UTC","0":{"server":[{"name":"Freedom","status":"Up"},{"name":"Justice","status":"Up"},{"name":"Pinnacle","status":"Up"},{"name":"Virtue","status":"Up"},{"name":"Liberty","status":"Up"},{"name":"Guardian","status":"Up"},{"name":"Infinity","status":"Up"},{"name":"Protector","status":"Up"},{"name":"Victory","status":"Up"},{"name":"Champion","status":"Up"},{"name":"Triumph","status":"Up"},{"name":"Exalted","status":"Up"}]}}
This presumably means it's the XML output code that's borked, rather than the data feed, so hopefully it should be a relatively easy fix. The data is also still segregated into region=eu and region=na (which includes Exalted). Since we are all one happy server family now, any chance of a combined XML feed that isn't blank?

Pretty please?

With a cherry on top?

That looks like JSON format.

Thanks - I knew someone would recognise it. Not a format I've worked with before, but if the XML feed is a goner, I'll see about altering the script I'm using on our SG website to decode that instead.

Whoa. A really really rare redname sighting.

I always appreciate the really really rare posts by rednames.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

ServerGuy? Haven't seen him around before ... or much.

Now I can't help thinking about silly IT ads with super heroes.
