WOW COMPANION APP UPDATES PC
In addition, data delivery methods and restrictions look different on PC and mobile. This leads to additional work to modernize systems to support both a PC and mobile experience.
Many of these frameworks were written over the 17+ years of history of World of Warcraft during a time when mobile wasn’t a consideration. The biggest hurdle in implementing new features was structuring the necessary frameworks to support the feature. In our previous Engineer’s Workshop covering the development of the WoW Companion App, we delved into the intricacies of creating a system simultaneously for both mobile and PC platforms. In light of the change in direction, we moved on to the development of the current WoW Companion App, which provides a more secure experience more in line with the types of activities your character takes on when you log in to play the game today. While there were ways that we could and often did mitigate the effect, the ongoing negative impact from those who sought to exploit the system outweighed continuing to support ongoing development. This was largely due to the number of queries that could flood the auction house resulting in strained servers as they attempted to manage the larger load. Due to the way this app was built, there were times in which individuals would abuse the architecture of the app, often causing a disruption to the player economy and even, in some cases, causing in-game latency. The Remote Auction House was once a part of the WoW Armory app released in 2011 and retired in 2018. With the 9.2.7 patch, it becomes a part of the WoW Companion App.
It’s been some time since the Auction House was available to mobile users, but the time has come for its return.
