What is a Subscription to The Undermine Journal?
A "subscription" is your personal user account here at The Undermine Journal. There are free subscriptions and paid subscriptions, but we'll get into that later. The primary reason you would set up a subscription is for Market Notifications.What are Market Notifications?
The Undermine Journal usually receives new data for every realm every hour. Market Notifications is a service we provide to let you know when the market changes in a way that you specify.For example, if you wanted us to watch for a rare pattern, heroic item, or S/S battle pet, we can send you an email message as soon as we see it.
What kind of notifications do you send?
Currently we can tell you when the quantity, market price, or price to buy any amount of an item or battle pet falls over or under a target value. Just visit the item's page and look for the "Market Notifications" section above the auctions listing.On our Unusual Items category page, we can notify you when any items with certain properties (uncommon recipes, rare weapons over level 200, etc) are seen, after having been absent for the number of days of your choice.
How do I log in?
We only accept Blizzard accounts, since everyone who visits the Auction House would have one. But don't worry, we never see your password, or even your Blizzard account address.Blizzard has a login service that securely interfaces with third-party sites like The Undermine Journal. You can read Blizzard's explanation of it here. We don't get any account details, we can't see your billing information, and we don't even ask for your character names. All we get from Blizzard is a unique numeric identifier for your account, and your public BattleTag.
What does a subscription cost?
You can log in and get a free subscription right now. You can set your notifications and tell us your email address, and we will email you periodically with the latest events that happened since your last message and are still valid. We check the auction house for you with every data snapshot, but we will email you up to once every 8 hours.Only once every 8 hours? Can't you email me more often than that?
We also offer a paid subscription tier, which lets you choose a frequency up to every 2 minutes. Paid subscriptions are sold for $5.00 USD for 60 days.How do you send notifications more often than hourly, if you use the Blizzard API?
It's true that we get data for each realm only about once per hour, but if you watch multiple realms, you could benefit from sub-hourly notification frequency, since those updates are staggered. For example:
| Event | ASAP Frequency | Hourly Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 1:00 - Aegwynn Update | Sends 1:00 Notification | Sends 1:00 Notification |
| 1:23 - Medivh Update | Sends 1:23 Notification | Queued |
| 1:42 - Zuluhed Update | Sends 1:42 Notification | Queued |
| 2:00 - Aegwynn Update | Sends 2:00 Notification | Sends 1:23, 1:42, 2:00 Notifications |
What's the full list of subscription benefits?
| Free Subscription | Paid Subscription | |
|---|---|---|
| Item/Pet Market Notifications | Yes, 5/item, 1,000 total | Yes, 5/item, 1,000 total |
| Region-Wide Notifications | Yes | Yes |
| Unusual Item Notifications | Yes, 20/realm, 50 total | Yes, 20/realm, 50 total |
| Notification Periods | 24, 20, 18, 16, 12 or 8 hours | Same, or 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, ½ hours, or ASAP |
| Cost | Free | $5.00 per 60 days |
Anything else I should know?
We offer no warranty for this service, and as always, we rely on the Blizzard API to obtain the data to send notifications. You should review our Terms and Privacy Policy, linked in the footer below, as you will need to confirm your acceptance of it when you log in for the first time. Finally, while the website and emails are localized in many languages, we can only offer customer support in English.You can read The Undermine Journal in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Traditional Chinese (for Taiwan), or Korean. Just choose your language in the dropdown box in the top right corner of the page.
All the item and pet names are translated from in-game data, but localizing the rest of the site has been a challenge. Most of the text on the site (over 90%) can be localized. However, we'll need some help from native speakers of each language to translate the terms we don't yet have. If you would like to help translate parts of the site (and not with Google Translate), it would be a big help!
It's really easy:
- Download the locale file for your language: German Spanish French Italian Portuguese Russian Traditional Chinese Korean
- (Optional) Download the English locale file if you want a reference: English
- Change values in the locale file that need translations. You don't have to change them all, just do whatever ones you want.
- EMail me at localizationles at thetokenunderminejournal dot com, and attach your updated locale file.
That's it! We will find the updated lines from your file, and update the website with them soon after.
Subscribers who are helpful with localization may receive some paid subscription time free of charge.
