In their own words
RaiderZ Game Database
RaiderZ Game Database is a free web database covering equipment, creatures, maps and quests from RaiderZ. Item records provide stats, enchantments, recipes, materials, drops and vendors. Creature and NPC entries include loot, crafting services and spawn locations; maps describe areas, points of interest, encounters and connected inhabitants. Quest records list objectives, requirements, related characters and rewards. The Trade Market reads active in-game offers directly from the game, and the Skill Calculator supports up to 44 points, with options to save private or public builds. The official full client is a Windows package, version 100.90, delivered as a 4.7 GB ZIP. A parallel experimental 64-bit DirectX 11 client connects to the same live server. Support is available through Discord for live help and email for account or private matters. The listed platforms are web and Windows, and the service is free to play. Users must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use it.
The Visual Novel Database
The Visual Novel Database (VNDB) is a free resource for information about visual novels and eroge, available on the web and through an API. Its wiki lets people add and contribute information, including general details and practical coverage of releases, localisations and producers. Registered users can vote on visual novels and maintain lists of games they want to play or have finished. VNDB also aims to introduce visual novels to a broader audience across geographic and cultural differences. The Kana HTTPS API can query the database and manage user lists. Non-commercial API access costs nothing and is subject to limits: 200 requests per 5 minutes, one second of execution time per minute, and automatic abortion of requests exceeding three seconds. API availability is best-effort, with no guarantees about stability or applicability. It does not provide some site functions, including forums, database editing and account creation. Users can obtain API tokens from the Applications tab in My Profile, and a sandbox endpoint at beta.vndb.org/api/kana is available for testing and development. VNDB's first version went live in September 2007.
