World of warcraft mods and addons
December 31st, 2009 by dace
Several useful mods and addons that help you enjoy the game even more.
There are several accepted programs that help add to your World of Warcraft experience without violating any rules or laws. These programs consist of chat programs, meters, and slight interface changes. Some of the chat programs like Vent are basically required for any type of major raiding. The meter progams allow you to gauge the healing or damage of your group while interface programs allow you to get prepared for battle.
Application that gives you various tools to improve your World of WarCraft experience. Please note that this is not a cheat. This app will track your stats while you play so you can analyze them in order to constantly improve.
The number one tool for end game instance raids such as Molten Core, AQ 20, and AQ 40.
A leading peer-to peer Voice Over IP program that allows small groups of players to chat for free. Fun for small guilds who do not do much raiding.
Various mods such as CT RaidAssist (screenshot above) that allow you to do many things such as monitoring the health, rage, energy, and mana of your raid.
Another chat program thats allows for chatting while in a group or raid, but based on the client-server model instead of peer-to-peer.

Blizzard Entertainment muscled its way into the MMORPG market back in 2004 with this game based on their illustrious Warcraft strategy series. Although it does not rewrite the book on MMORPGs, exceptional artistry, nicely paced gameplay, an engaging world, solid PvP, and a great interface made World of Warcraft a favorite among fans of this genre. It’s easily the most refined and popular game of its kind with millions of players worldwide. The Battlechest version includes both the original game and the first expansion, The Burning Crusade.
Many people discovered MMORPGs by playing EverQuest, so EverQuest II had high expectations to live up to, and it doesn’t disappoint. The graphics are outstanding, voiceovers are used extensively, character creation is very impressive, and the combat system is a cut above the rest. Since release there have been several expansions and adventure packs, and PvP servers have also been added to the game. The Shadow Odyssey is the game’s 2008 expansion, and it includes all previous expansions as well as the core game.

A gritty world with many adult themes winding through it, Age of Conan is a MMORPG intended for a mature audience. The combat system is very unique, requiring melee characters to swing their weapon in different directions, allowing complex combination attacks, and giving you defensive choices to make as well. At the game’s high levels, guilds can build cities and keeps which can be attacked by other players. Age of Conan fell a little short of expectations at launch, but like most games of this kind, improvements are implemented with each patch.
Mythic Entertainment’s Warhammer Online, like the famous table-top RPG it’s based on, concentrates on realm vs. realm (RvR) conflict between the forces of Order and Destruction. Every zone in the game has an area that is dedicated to RvR with several objectives in it which ultimately decide who controls the zone, culminating in a siege of the enemy’s capital city. The game has potential, but some of the siege mechanics seem a little off, and the engine tends to choke more than most on large numbers of players.
The award-winning Final Fantasy series has been adapted into this famous MMORPG from Square Enix. Three powerful nations try to protect the world of Vana’diel from the hostile beastmen. Note that FFXI is a significant departure from other Final Fantasy games, and it can be daunting for casual players. It’s also the first MMO that allows PS2, Xbox 360, and PC users play in the same universe. The Ultimate Collection. which arrived in 2009, includes the core game and all previous expansions.
Like its predecessor, Lineage II focuses on battles with other players and large-scale siege warfare. This time it’s fully 3D, with visuals powered by the Unreal graphics engine. Guilds challenge each other for control of the game’s castles in scheduled PvP events. Like most Korean games, it uses a point-and-click movement system. The North American version has a number of features to lessen the level grind a little, which appears to be paying off. The Epic Edition is bundled with all 5 earlier Chronicles.
A huge seamless world, elaborate crafting, and a diplomacy system with which you can sway NPCs are among the features offered by Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. It’s relatively demanding compared to many recent MMORPGs, both in terms of hardware requirements and time requirements, which isn’t to everyone’s liking. There is a considerable amount of depth to the game, and it’s an ambitious project with a lot of potential.
EverQuest continues to hold a special place in the hearts of MMORPG fans, being the first 3D game of its kind to catch on in North America. It still has a large player base, and likely has more content than any of its competitors. The game is set in a mythical realm full of all the usual halflings, ogres, healers, necromancers, and monsters, featuring a remarkable level of character and class specialization.
