All About Wowhead's Acquisition
(Be sure to check out the Q&A below!)A few days ago Wowhead entered into a new and exciting era. I've been working with the ZAM network to join Wowhead's amazing assets and community with their own. I'll be honest and frank with you guys up front. At first, I had my doubts about ZAM, which owns the "other" database websites out there. I heard many stories about IGE this, IGE that.
I have spent a couple weeks speaking with the entire ZAM team and let me give you my personal thoughts. They are very straightforward, honest, and driven people. I know their plans, their goals, and quite a bit about their staff. They have no relation with IGE. They are all about content and building communities and tools to help gamers, just like what we've done with Wowhead.
I've set up an email address for any and all questions about this. Please email me anything you'd like to say to a new address I've setup for myself and our team. In addition, I'll make sure the president of the ZAM network will read and address it. The email is [email protected].
Thanks!
Tim Sullivan, CEO
Wowhead
The official press release from the ZAM Network follows:
The ZAM Network is pleased to announce the acquisition of Wowhead.com, the Internet's fastest growing World of Warcraft website. Wowhead will become an essential part of the ZAM Network, joining other leading sites for MMO gamers such as Thottbot, Allakhazam and MMO Interface. Each month, millions of gamers visit the ZAM Network to find game information, access tools and content, and interact with other players."Merging with the ZAM Network is a very positive thing for us and our community," says Tim Sullivan, CEO of Wowhead. "We have seen tremendous growth in our traffic. Now we will be able to continue to focus on building great site features and not have to deal with many of the administrative aspects of running a top 1,000 Web site. It's my strong opinion that Wowhead will remain the best site on the Internet for WoW information, and the community will continue to grow and thrive."
"As their rocket ship traffic growth demonstrates, gamers clearly find Wowhead to be a phenomenal resource to get information on World of Warcraft," said John Maffei, President of the ZAM Network. "We feel extremely lucky to be working with such a talented, cool team. Thus far we've been blown away. By continuing to put the top minds together in this space, we can really thrive in making the best sites for MMO gamers."

The saga of Wowhead continues: the site is currently down, as in no loading at all. My first thought was that Blizzard's maintenance and the extra traffic from the sale news brought them down, but they've never experienced uptime problems in the past, so that seems unlikely.
And then Centipede (thanks!) sent us this forum thread in which someone who claims to be a Wowhead moderator says it's down so they can implement "character profiles and gear wish lists (ala CTProfiles)" that they were supposedly hoping to put up before "the end of the month," which is of course right about now.
So when the site comes back up, maybe we'll see some brand new features to play around with. We'll keep an eye on it and let you know more when we do.
