Closing DAoC Utils
All,
I regret to let you know that DAoC Utils will be shutting down on July 31, 2019.
A few years ago, this project started as a simple replacement for gimpchimp. At that time, with the release of the item database, I felt there was an opportunity to make a tool that would help the community as a whole. Over the last few years, this project has grown beyond what I could've imagined, and has helped thousands of new/returning/existing players figure out how to template their characters. Building this gave me a tremendous sense of pride, and something that I'll always look back on fondly.
Though I had *many* more plans for the project, it took a halt last year when I lost a lot of interest in DAoC as a whole. I just couldn't keep funneling my time (I'm a father of 3 with a demanding job, etc) into a project that I would no longer use, and was not financially sustainable.
Unfortunately, I was unable to come to an agreement with Broadsword about the future of this project. We talked a bit, and though I felt I was very reasonable, Broadsword decided that it was best to walk away and pursue an in-house solution. I hope that it is something they are able to deliver for you in the future, and wish we could've worked something out.
At this time, I would encourage all of you to begin working on migrating your templates into another solution. Unfortunately, I won't be able to assist with that, so I'm extending the shut down date by a month to give you all adequate time.
I hope, through it all, that I built you all something you found useful and enjoyed using. Good luck out there! Who knows, if this game picks back up one day and/or I start playing again, I might get the energy to work on the project again, though I find that exceedingly unlikely.
Best,
Hopz

I suspect he was trying to sell it to them, not just get them to host it/give it away. There is a preview of their version of the item database in the newsletter and they claim a template building tool will come after. Hopefully it will be up to par with daocutils version

Also it looks like the copy button isn't working any more under the view build report.

How you import that database into GBX?
Database is there already, no need to import anything.
