Is this compiled by you (using the client) or did someone (Rogean?) parse the actual server? What were the parameters of the server data parse?

This is done client side - Rogean has access to far superior tools to see what's going on on the server but he obviously cannot open these to the public

How it works essentially is that I've made a series of macros, for instance:
/who all cleric 1 10
/who all cleric 11 20
(etc)
The output of these are logged to the eqlog.txt file and then parsed and inserted/sorted into a database.
If the parser sees a newer record for a player, it updates the record in the database, it otherwise ignores it.
This allows me to eventually, as I run these macros several times a week, to catch every character at least once and end up having pretty accurate data.
