Grand Exchange Data
On a personal note, I'm glad that you have been trying to find information about pricing data that goes back to periods prior to what is displayed in the Grand Exchange Database. The reason why the charts simply seem to end is that the user who was keeping them up (User:Pointy) stopped doing that for some reason. I haven't taken the time to get them going again, although it would be useful. We really need a volunteer to help keep this type of activity going.

The raw data, in other words the prices of various items in the Grand Exchange linked to when that item was at that price, is all still here in the wiki database. You can still extract this data (completely independent of Jagex), but it would take a little effort to get it back up to speed again with all of the new items we have.

If you want to see the technical details about the price charts, look at User:PointyBot, which has links to to software originally used to make the price charts.

I hope this helps. It isn't perfect, and there certainly needs to be a restart of this project. I appreciate your interest in this little project of mine, but you should know that I'm not the only user who has participated in working on the Grand Exchange Market Watch data. --Robert Horning 02:30, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
