LOL FNW. I don't request a profile blob editor so much as I request getting entirely rid of the blob from the database and save character data in relational db fields/tables like the Good Lord intended a relational db to be used

(And for anyone who takes that seriously, there are issues around doing it that way -- not the least of which are possible impact on server performance, reliably saving multiple fields/tables, and just the sheer amount of work that would go into overhauling that.)

Rogean, that's a clever way of using the blob. For the same reasons I mentioned earlier though, don't necessarily expect the fields he's extracting to be in the same positions they were when that was written. He said that was from his RaidAddicts... so it was... some time ago :P
