Great list Ciaran! Glad someone listed all the DBM addons - they're pretty much a requirement in the later dungeons / raids. Can't say I've actually used TauntMaster before - looks pretty useful though in huge fights where finding the stray mob can be a bit of an effort! I'd also suggest Omen Threat Meter http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/omen-threat-meter It's not really necessary when tanking trash as you'll be switching targets too much to properly take in the data. Really helpful for long boss fights, though - you can see when you're hold of the mob is slipping to that pesky Mage and act appropriately.

Even if one does exist - it'd be a nice exercise to learn the basics. Might try that over the weekend and post files and code here so y'all can better it.

Yeah exactly. That doesn't effect solitaire though - could still make that. Well - unless you want to make an ASP.NET version of Solitaire with a back-end containing a random number generator for the original card shuffle. If you wanna make one of those you're screwed. What does WoW need that it doesn't already have? There's an IM addon, quest helpers, loot databases, countless class helpers... I'm sure there's already one, but how about a gold count for all of your characters right there in your backpack? So you see which of your characters had what gold. And then a grand total at the bottom so you could grab all the money off of each of them towards a mount or something similar.

Much to my delight and, hopefully, the delight of the people using it, this site is now getting near-properly used. I hope to get as many people as I can interested so we can all help make this a proper gaming community! That is of course a team effort. The use of the forums is already blindingly brilliant and the place immediately has a really good feel to it - we just need to get even more people interested. Grab everyone you can - everyone you play games with or talk to on a regular basis. We'll get this place used so we can all help, share and create! On top of that, it's important to note that this site is barely in its infancy. It's sitting on a brand new forum software named XenForo and, through the use of various PHP hacks and a hell of a lot of CSS, looks how it looks today. There will be errors. There will be grey text on grey backgrounds and transparent blocks where no transparent blocks should be. If you see anything you think needs to be changed - tell me. Take a screenshot if you have to or just explain the problem. The above even stretches to improvements and suggestions for the site. Do you want to see something implemented that isn't already? Or something that you think could be done better? Things like trophies and awards, application systems or even a gallery of default avatars. If you think of it, suggest it. As a final word - signatures appear in the majority of forums and most people like them. The idea of the layout of this site, however, is to keep it as clean as possible. Huge signatures bursting at the seams with BBCode and images would only serve to ruin a currently-clean-looking set-up. I have thought of allowing, like the status updates, 140 characters or so for a motto or a favourite quote. Even that however would distract from the content. What do you think? UPDATE: Please post all problems in the "Help & Support" forum and all improvements and suggestions in the aptly-named "Improvements & Suggestions" forum.

It's important to note that addons in-game cannot communicate with anything out of the game. So querying APIs like Facebook and YouTube couldn't work.

Might integrate a "Post TItle of the Month" trophy just so I can award this thread.

Ooh or maybe Battlefield 3.

Hello there. I think I'm gonna go ahead and start doing some World of Warcraft addons. Not sure what yet, but I'm sure I can find something simple to eat up my time. I spent quite a while writing some artillery programs and the like on Armed Assault II so I'm alright with SQF / LUA (and most java-based languages). So the question stands - what shall I make?

As you can hopefully tell from the title, and the page you're on, Ahoy World has a brand new website! We've also recently expanded to a World of Warcraft guild on the Aggramar Realm (EU) and a small-but-dedicated Battlefield 3 squad who've been tearing it up in Rush and Squad DM. With this new site and expansion, I'm looking forward to watching Ahoy World, both as an entity and as its wonderful user-base, grow and flourish! For the moment only those of you who've been given this URL will have access to this site. Without the direct URL this is in-fact inaccessible. When the finishing touches have been made (we're almost there!) we'll move this site over to http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk (instead of /community) and will be officially public! We've already got a couple of people looking to make content for us and the World of Warcraft guild has provided us with a solid base of reliable players that are happy to help out. If you want to, please, for the moment, get in contact with either me or Yast by emailing our contact email: [email protected] To the 34 members currently in our midst - welcome! Let's make this a good'un, eh?
