I remember a time where titles were shown on forums. (Im pretty sure my memory is correct on this)

Now im not asking for this to be back etc. But what happened with that was causing issues and thats why it got removed? I think it got removed during a time i wasnt on much

October 2018, something happened with titles in-game....some accts were being bugged from it. Titles were disabled and everything worked out again.

They had to remake the whole title system, and when that launched is when the website lost titles. That was November 2018.

The forums, and other site pages, fetch the playerdata api with some fancy javascript. This has a parameter for titles in it. That api is trying to access the old title data, which is now no longer around, thus nothing displays.

Looks like this when printed:

Original message details are unavailable.

jQuery000000000000000_0000000000([{"isSuffix":false,"recruiting":true,"name":"YtHaar-Mej","clan":"Caped Carousers",

"title":""

}]);

If the api is updated to get the new title variable, titles would be able to be displayed once again on the forums and other site pages that try to fetch and display titles.

example of it, when it was working:

Original message details are unavailable.

jQuery000000000000000_0000000000([{

"isSuffix":true

,"recruiting":true,"name":"YtHaar-Mej","clan":"Caped Carousers",

"title":"the Ravensworn"

}]);

Can I turn in a paper without citing all sources?

Ahh, the fond memories. Seems like an easy enough fix, on paper above there anyhow. I realize you're not asking for a fix, but it would be fun to see again sometime nevertheless.

APIs fetch data and display it to be used. So all it has to do is have the correct variable name sent to it, and boom it'll reappear.

Theoretically, all they'd have to do something like this:

"title" => $player_details['title']

"title" => $player_details['new_title']

...obv not gonna be php on a java system but its the same concept for a visual.

If that's done, then none of the website pages need to be updated any. once it sends to the array, every page that used it will immediately work again.

It would be nice to see it working again after 4.5yrs though. Can I turn in a paper without citing all sources?
