I meant the game devs. They could rig an RSS feed that would be consumed by the wiki.
Right, and that's what I'm trying to explain: the game devs don't "do wiki".

Rogean, Nilbog, etc. do not have anything whatsoever to do with the wiki. The only way they might even tangentially get involved is that Rogean might take five minutes of his time to install some software on the wiki's machine, if people beg him nicely.

That's it: otherwise they don't do anything whatsoever with the wiki. The wiki is 100% player-made, and that includes any dreams or desires you can possibly imagine for it: we have to build them.

Hmm, well does the feed from the game server logs already exist? I thought the data source was maybe posted player logs or something.
Yup [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Like everything else, every last data point (of the millions that exist in the wiki pricing data) comes from a player (Ravhin) writing code which parsed logs, which in turn were uploaded by still other players.
