OK, now I'm peeved... It's nearing 6 months since we've gotten updates to the WoW data files. Either please update them or release the file so that someone else can develop and update the file.

Waiting for 6+ months for them to be updated is absolutely ridiculous...

Note to LoneWolf - Why isn't someone in LoneWolf updating this file? You can seem to spend enough time with WotC products....

This is one of the main reasons I haven't paid to update my license. If I got consistent updates for WoW, then I'd invest money in your product...
Relying on regular people to update your product is just stupid...

Lone Wolf does not update the WoW data files because Upper Deck seems wholly uninterested in sending us the spoiler data. We spent countless hours talking to them about getting the spoiler data from them, and they repeatedly promised us the info. However, they never delivered. After numerous rounds of layoffs and restructuring at UD, resulting in having to ask completely new people each time, we finally gave up. So the files are being maintained by an enterprising user who is volunteering his time in the effort.

The reason we spend the time with the Wizards games is that they send us the spoiler data for each new release. They view CV as a worthwhile too for their players and are willing to invest a few minutes every quarter to send us the data we need. Sometimes we have to remind them, but they are responsive and get the data to us. Once we have the data in a standardized format, we can convert it into CV data files reasonably easily.

If UD were to do the same as Wizards (i.e. send us a file they already possess in-house), we'd be able to do the WoW data files. The total time commitment on UD's part is in the neighborhood of 5 minutes every time they release a new set. Sadly, that appears to be more time than they can spare. :-(
