WoW add-ons

[morment]

I finally took the plunge and bought World of Warcraft, I know a lot of people on here play, or used to, and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for good add-ons for it.

haven't played since early last year but...I'd look for something in inventory management first.

Just go to http://wow.curse.com/ and browse through shit and try stuff that sounds useful

Thanks, I'll give that a look.

I downloaded the free trial a couple weeks ago, then upgraded Saturday, so I haven't had it too long.
I'm sure I'll wind up getting Wrath and Cataclysm at some point.

I leveled from 1-70 before I even knew about addons. Now I use a bar mod (Bartender4), Minimap mod (Chinchilla), Mail mod (easymail), Buff frame mod (Satrina Buff Frames), Chat mod (Prat), whisper mod (WIM (wowinstant messange)), Raid/party frame mod (Xperl) and a few more for raiding and watnot. Oh a good one is also Fluidframes.

I play on eldre thalas* Horde and my name is Moonunit hit me up if you ever need advise.

Well, I use- Atlas Loot, Altaholic (very useful if you have more than one toon on a server), Bartender, Healbot when on my druid, Omen threat meter, Deadly Boss Mods, Sliceadmiral on my rogue, sexymap, and probably some others that I can't think of.

Who the fuck am I? I dunno. But I highly recommend Deadly Boss Mods, Bartender, and XPerl to get you started. I also love my Quartz, Titan Panel, and Grid. If you start hearing about meters and decide to find out what they are, Recount is the most used but I personally opt for Skada because Recount was abusing my memory. One that doesn't seem to be used a lot but I find really nice is Sell-O-Matic2. It provides you with a button on vendor windows that you can click to automatically sell any grays and you can also add other things (like Fish Oil if you're not a shammy) to the list of auto-sell stuff.

While we're on the subject of WoW, I quit oh...18 months ago? Jan 2010 or so.

Since then I've been getting 3 or 4 emails a week telling me my account is under investigation and I better login or it'll be deleted, and lately the occasional one offering me a free "winged guardian" mount if I click some link.

Now, obviously it's spam (though some are decently worded) but who the hell sends this shit, and how do they get my email address? I signed up to some fairly reputable forums for WoW...and can't think of any other way I handed out my email in relation to it.

Here's a hilariously badly worded excerpt for your enjoyment -

I haven't gotten an email about it, but I have had a couple of random messages in WoW saying there were "complaints about me" and that they needed to verify that I was actually who I said I was, or something along those lines. I checked out the website and it was an obviously fake battle.net screen.

 

[Jupiter551]

Just from random people?

Unless it has the blizzard logo before the name in chat, they're not legit, ever

 

[morment]

The name had Blizzard in it so they were trying to make it look like it was legit.

I didn't know about the logo thing, but I figured it was fake regardless

 

[Jupiter551]

Nah GMs have something like this in front of their name (or at least did when I played)

My old Battle.net account e-mail gets loads of those e-mails Jupiter. Not sure how it got out there either but it did. I changed my Battle.net e-mail specifically so I don't have to even look at them to verify they're fake. I almost deleted my TBC Beta invite because it didn't look legit with some formatting errors and such. It's been over 6 months and so far so good on the spammers not picking up the new address.
