Realm progression rankings for the Shattered Sun questline

Edur, of Gorgonnash-A (EU), has created a web site that relies on game data form participants to rank the realms according to their completion of the Sunwell questline, and a very nice site it is. You can see all the US and European realms and where they stand both on the main phase quests and on the side accomplishments, like constructing the portal from Shattrath to Quel'Danas. There are also nice progress charts for each individual realm, and, most usefully, ETAs for when the objectives might be reached given current rates of completion.
Currently leading the pack is Proudmore (US), with 44% completion of phase two and 75% completion of the portal. My own realm has jumped up from about 40 to 25 in the past few hours -- go Shadow Council! Five US realms are show as still languishing in phase one, although Nordrassil was at 98% as of the last update a few hours ago, and has likely moved on to phase two by now.
On the European side of things, the German realms are in front, headed by Gilneas at 30% through phase two and 55% complete with the portal. Since they're a day behind (they receive patches on Wednesdays, whereas the US gets them on Tuesdays), it's not surprising to see them a bit less progressed.
If you want to help out, download the AddOn from the site, and then be sure to upload your data file for analysis. And if want to use this data for some nifty site or service, the site's author has helpfully made XML feeds available under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. Well done, sir.

Dude where is Shadowmoon on this list I checked this list 5 times and found nothing. No love for us huh.

Servers will only show up if someone on the realm is using the add-on and has uploaded the data. Represent your realm!

If your site isn't on the site....ADD IT PEOPLE!

Medivh: When you need to do a lot of something very fast, a lot. It's pretty much all we're good at. (See also the server's AQ progression back in the day.)

Still quite surprised we're doing this well, honestly.

Looks like Zul'jin is actually doing good for once. Nice to see our server up there :)

Interesting to see that the top 10 realms are all PvE. PvP servers were a huge gank fest the first few days. We still get people hovering on top the quest givers so you accidentally click attack them instead of the quest giver.

standing on top of the quest givers to cause accidental attack-clicks seems to me like an exploit. i've been reporting people i see more than once... i doubt anyone cares, though.

Interesting point:
Out of the top 58 realms, only 6 of them are PvP ones.
Seems the PvP realms are too busy killing each other to complete the dailies.

What do you expect us to do?
Actually, there was a post on Lightninghoof forums saying to put away the sword for a bit so we can progress. A few posts later, multiple people said hell no.
And there is always a shitstorm startin up if just one person feels like ganking.

The Phases will come even if no one does the Dailies, so there's no rush. And PvP servers are PvP-first, PvE second. Why put up a ceasefire, if it goes against the very server type you play on? PvP on PvP servers.

On our realm (Emerald Dream- coming in at a mighty 104th) the alliance seem to have made it their personal mission to be gank happy F***-tards on the island. Not that they are behaving any different in the rest of the realm.
Nice going alliance.

look at spanish realms, there pvp servers rule!

Go Proudmoore!

Proudmoore Pride... After the debacle that was the AQ opening, it's about time we got another world-first at something. ;)
Sinestra Mar 30th 2008 4:11AM
Frankly, I'm surprised Medivh is doing this well. Ever since we got the world first for AQ, we've lost some of our most dedicated guilds and players to other servers. It was mostly thanks to the terrible lag in Naxx, and on the server itself shortly after that patch was introduced.
It's why we have very poor Alliance to Horde ratio. Thankfully, this progression doesn't rely on having a balanced server...only a popular one. Heh.

Another Proudmoore fellow here. Nice to see us doing well.
Go Team... Um.. Server... UM Alliance?
Fairly bad Alliance > Horde ration here. Strange as we too (as a server) lost a bunch of good raid/s/ers to other servers.
