We started WoL as a free service, when we were looking for new tools to help us analyze combat logs better. Miles started playing around with this idea in early 2008 when logs took an hour or more to load on WowWebStats during peak times and, no less important, there was no way to update logs live on the servers while raiding. You can still see our source of inspiration on the site on some of the pages like the player details page, and a ton of our improvements (survivability overview, the "heroism blue marking") are now an "industry standard" ;)

But with growing traffic comes a higher demand on hardware and hosting. As we wanted to keep WoL free and available for everyone, we decided to introduce advertising on the website and came up with premium subscriptions that increase your combat log storage, offer extra ranking spots and an ad-free experience.

With your support, we can continue to provide this service to all WoW players. Your money is spent on servers - computing capacity and storage (3rd generation by now), professional hosting and of course, the people behind the new features, updates and support. Together, we cover the roles of frontend- and backend developer, dba, system/vmware/storage admin, data analyst and more, and the biggest reason we stuck around is our love for this game and the community.

We don't have a secret agenda or corporate sponsor with fat wallets - this is a site created by gamers, for gamers. We've done this for more than 6 years now, and with your continuing support, we plan to keep updating and improving WoL until the end of Azeroth.

By default, reports expire a certain amount of time after they are uploaded. You can extend the time a report is kept by 4 weeks by purchasing a Pro subscription or make reports never expire with an Unlimited subscription.

In addition to this, premium subscribers have access to 75 exclusive spots on the rankings.
