At the moment there is a World Names 404 error.
Not certain when it started.

StevenL.3761:

Again with the 404… why? No really… WHY?! It can’t possibly be that difficult to return http status 500 when the error really is a server error.

@API developers, here’s a nice little cheat sheet:
4xx: client-side error
5xx: server-side error

I would much prefer error code 418, simply because its comic relief.

Some time ago the api threw me this:


anet_id, name

1, Anvil Rock [D]
4, Henge of Denravi [D]
3, Yak's Bend [D]
2, Borlis Pass [D]
50, Dragon's Grove [D]
66, Gandara [D]
5, Maguuma [D]
6, Sorrow's Furnace [D]
68, Blacktide [D]
65, Kodonur [D]
9, Fort Aspenwood [D]
70, Vabbi [D]
67, Kodash [DE]  [D]
8, Jade Quarry [D]
7, Kaineng [D]
69, Istan [D]

i still don’t know what that’s supposed to be by the way.
however, the world_names API ist still returning rubbish, which started at 2014-05-21 22:22:43 UTC (that was the last response with a working list i got)

First problems appeared on may 19th somewhere around 1 o’clock in CET.

Edit: Some working world_names.json for backup-strategies as of now:

if i am not mistaken, worlds marked with [D] are the ones PvP and WvW are running on, which arent affected by the megaserver system. We shouldnt get those, though.
