LOTRO Community Site Revamp July 28 - Aug 1, 2013 - ESTIMATED

[Community_Name]

I'm not Turbine, but based on earlier Turbine responses, I'll try to summarize for you:

The PvMP Leaderboards are being discontinued because:

• The leaderboards rely on data.lotro.com services for their information on characters.
  
  • The data.lotro.com services no longer work reliably.
    
    • It would cost too much to make the data.lotro.com services work reliably again.
• The leaderboards rely on custom WordPress widgets to display on the Community Site.
  
  • The custom WordPress widgets no longer work reliably.
    
    • It would cost too much to make the custom WordPress widgets work reliably again.

Short answer: They cost too much.

The same answers apply to most of the Community Site features being discontinued, not just the PvMP Leaderboards.

Oh, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, we have full asses of MONEY, but we want more MONEY.
