Subcreation Acquired by Warcraft Logs and Archon
The popular data aggregation site Subcreation has been acquired by Archon, now redirecting to the Warcraft Logs parent site! Officially announced in new releases by both Alcaras and the Archon team, the creator of Subcreation shared his excitement in working to combine the two projects to create a better and more future-proofed product for many patches and expansions to come.
- Archon, the recently rebranded parent company of Warcraft Logs promised new tools and increased coherency between its various logging sites, unified within a single brand name. Since launching last October, it has been slowly rolling out new statistical analysis features which overlap with sites like Subcreation and u.gg, such as data driven tier lists and detailed builds.
- Subcreation was an independent project created by Alcaras, which used the World of Warcraft, Raider.io, and Warcraft Logs APIs to provide statistical analysis of Mythic+ dungeons, raids, and PvP content, creating tier list style class rankings and detailed summaries of the top talents, stats, and other customizations used by them, with item and ability tooltips provided by Wowhead.
On a practical level, there isn't too much difference between the two projects aside from layout and presentation; both use the same logged information to organize statistics on all aspects of customization, from talents to gear, enchants, consumables, and the like, to create popularity based recommendations further broken down by encounter, difficulty, affixes, or key level. While some may be sad to see Subcreation go, this merger benefits from Archon's larger footprint, bringing more resources to bear without placing the burden on the shoulders of a single developer.
