History of the Eastern Sun Database
For those who are curious, here are some historical facts. I don't remember when the Database was first published, but it was with Eastern Sun 3.00, which came with quite some changes back in the days. It was the patch to introduce Time Stop for Sorces, Aura of Divinity for Paladins (which was completely broken) and the barbarian's lightning skills. It was first made by tsurumurasaki, known simply as Tsuru, who took over the mod from Lothar and Perfect Cell after they stopped developing it, and he kept patching it for years until he suddenly disappeared. He was active for about 5 years on the Phrozen Keep, until his last post on 20 Aug 2008, which was a perfectly normal response to a question about Whirlwind. After that, he never returned, and as far as I can tell, nobody knows what happened.

The database and wiki stood for years after his disappearance, until the database went down some day. There were copies of the database hosted by Seltsamuel (creator of D2SE) and the PK itself, so the information was not lost. The community patches did minor tweaks, such that the DB remained largely accurate, but ever since Alpha took over and Eastern Sun Rises became a thing, more and more information became outdated, much to the annoyance of the players. With the new server we can finally host our own version and update it!

Tsuru was also the one who set up the original wiki, most veteran ES players will remember the good old minimalistic black and white look of the Eastern Sun Wiki. In its later days it was repeatedly defaced and damaged by bots who filled pages with thousands of links to shady websites until, at some point, one of those probably broke the front page and made it impossible to load the wiki. All of the info should still be there, but it's inaccessible at this point, save for the ES Attack Speed Calculator, which still works if you know the full link. The Wiki and original DB are only available via the Wayback Machine.
