New WoW Map Uses Google Local API

Lord Satri writes "The WarCry Network lead me to the world's only ultra-high resolution map of the World of Warcraft universe. From WarCry: 'The site leverages the powerful Google Maps API to create a revolutionary scaled map with detail and precision never before seen on the Internet. A user can display any number of ore, herbs, or, treasure. Currently there are more than 15,000 resources in the database. All this, on one easy to navigate page.'"

But does it leverage...

The site leverages the powerful Google Maps API to create a revolutionary scaled map with detail and precision never before seen on the Internet.

But does it leverage the power of insufferable marketing lingo to pro-actively develop a synergistic user-oriented information transaction? Yes, yes, I think it does.

No

'... All this, on one easy to navigate page.'

All this, on one smoking server.

Used google api, but not their servers

I wonder if even Google's servers could've handled the load fired at that poor site. Then again, I wonder what they were thinking, to make a WoW interactive app, post it on the internet, and then allow just everyone to go use it. Of course, now that all the WoW people know about it, it'll just be slammed forever. I'd love to see a graph of their traffic:
satuday: 9 hits
sunday: 10 hits
monday: 9999999 hits
tuesday: 999999 hits
wednesday: 9999 hits + holding, ka BOOM! goes the server...
