event_names v1 API disabled?
Drant.5902:
https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/event_names.json (before it was disabled) contained a list of names and IDs of dynamic events. It does not include numerous obsolete events such as Scarlet Invasion and Queen’s Gauntlet, which event_details.json does include. That’s why I use it to filter out events in event_details.json, which has the needed coordinates and parameters to draw the map event circles.
An event map is helpful for new players to find where events can happen so they can do their dailies. Will the event_names.json be re-enabled? Or should I just do the filtering manually when reading event_details.json.

@lye Apr 19 19:29 (https://gitter.im/arenanet/api-cdi?at=57166b04b129b59c56d98d1b)i’m fixing a live server crash right now
(/v1/event_names.json is disabled for today)
we changed the deploy process for the content server since last time it leaked some goodies before the patch went out
having the old content server running while the new patch is out has triggered some interesting bugs

[X] fixed [ ] not fixed
I guess lawton forgot to enable the endpoint again or its still not fixed.

Just checked on this; the patch to fix the crash hasn’t deployed live yet.
