A new version is up which works correctly with the new status page.

I wrote a small utility to keep track of server status called DFOTray.
DFOTray adds a tray icon which shows the current server state. The icon shows the same info which can be found on the patcher web page. It also plays up/down notification sounds. Right-click on the icon to see more options.

Download DFOTray
Use the above link to download and install.

NOTE: full source code is included with the download in case anyone is worried. it does nothing more than download the status web page, check for ONLINE/OFFLINE text, and update the tray icon and play sounds. That's it, there's no spyware/malware/virus/trojan/etc. You can check the source if you're concerned. Or if you're worried, don't use it and just leave the patcher open or leave your browser open to the status page (see the below link).

 Neat tool, I have a question though. Do you have the source code for it? No offence but an EXE that monitors the games status could be a haven to grab some nice little login packets.

Full source is included with the download :)

Cool, thanks will try it..

O crap,

hehe just for fun

yup and it would not be posted all over Dark fall Beta Fourm if it was not secure and most Darkfall beta testers all used it very handy at times win passed out on the couch waiting for the server to start back up

Sorry for being paranoid. But...You know....accounts get hacked so many times everyday. Thanks for letting me know it includes the source. I will have a look. 

 Thanks coder, your DFO tray tools have been priceless to me while beta testing.

Nice tool. Thanks for this! :D

This is very useful! Downloaded and installed scanned, no virus.. Thank you! oh SERVER IS UP!!

lol running a custom program through a virus scanner is not going to do anything, sigh....In any case the source is clean and compiling the source makes the same program. It's good and amazingly cool. 

correct, using a virus scanner for this would only detect known viruses. anyhow, that's why including the source is necessary.

bump; in case someone hasn't seen it.

bump, thanks coder

bumping this again; since I'm sure quite a few people are anxiously waiting for the server to come back up after the new patch.

Thanks a ton, buddy. From one coder to another, this is good software.

You should post this on the DFO wiki.

bump for justice

used this in beta and it worked great.

now its time to turn up the speakers and take a nap

I added it to the wikia site for DFO.

I don't know what I would have done without this in Beta. Thanks again.

I never changed the server online sound for this, and now it is one of the greatest sounds ever!

 Can we sticky this somewhere?
