I appreciate you reaching out to me in regards to your API change. I marked your service as obsolete and removed support for it as it was not as performant as BattleMetrics, and users said that it was too slow when providing up-to-date information about their player counts.

I am more interested in capturing this information for my users over utilizing another service; however, it seems to be less of a priority due to BattleMetrics filling in most gaps. Is there an argument to be made for using your service?
