Hello sorry if this sound's stupid but i was wondering if someone can explain how like eosig and top experience gainers work. im not asking for someone to make for me i just want some info to lead me in the right direction in doing it myself. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

They take a query of all online characters every so often, insert their data into a database, then using php, they can display this information in a visually appealing manner. They can only query someone who is online at the time of query, which is why some players do not appear in the statcount.

So they don't actually contact the endless server?, because on the endless site it says that it has a server that has stat's that people can use for websites. you can see what i mean here at the bottom of the page where it says php enhanced websites. Anyways thanks for the reply syran.

Well, for Experience Gainers, I have a script running that constantly parses data from the Online Players List, and stores it in a database after calculating things such as experience gained, time online, etc.
