I always jumped to stop spellcasting when you couldn't move around because you were max ranging your heals/cast. Or you could always bind space bar or some Ctrl+space to move forward to stop casting.

I take it the stopspellcasting() command wasn't in 1.12? Otherwise we wouldn't be talking about this?
It was in there since release (pressing Esc would invoke it if you were casting a spell), but consider that most EU and US players would have been playing under 50ms ping I guess there wasn't much impetus for change or many people seeking castbar mods out (or knowing that they even existed). I only recalled castbars with support for showing latency being a "thing" in TBC. My brother knew the guy who started up Lowerping, back in 2008 he'd put down a $400k deposit for a house, all that was made by running an ssh proxy service for Oceanic players to get around the WoW client not disabling the Nagle algorithm and perhaps some other stuff like pre-sending acks for packets yet to be received. That I could get my ping to be sub-200ms from it formerly being 350-450 was unusual.

It's bumming me out recalling all of this stuff, it took years of hounding for Blizzard to disable Nagle and add server-supported next-spell queueing. Which reminds me, got more "Please resub to WoW here's a great deal" mail, sure I could resub for $30 instead of $50 but surely you'd think they'd try and re-entice you by making the first hit free, but no. If I could play a month or two for free I probably would.

I've been working on a castbar addon which displays latency and stops casting intelligently before new spells.

New version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ed9mzpq5t7ozr9b/LagCast-0.99.2.zip

Changelog:
  • Allows display of custom cast bars (textures included) in addition to the standard cast bar.
  • Custom cast bars can be resized in addition to being moved (except for the standard Blizzard cast-bar, that can only be moved)
  • Added some more LagCast-behaviour configurability
  • Added some sweet sweet (but untested) doco to README.MACROS, read this if you're gonna use this mod for clever macro stuff (in case you have spells like Nature's Swiftness/Presence of Mind/whatever the priest one is)

After installing this mod, the first thing you want to type is:
  • /lc
If you have a mod that steals "/lc" (you probably don't) preventing it from working, then try:
  • /lagcast

New version of LHCP!

http://www.filefactory.com/file/4h86gqc9nzmx/lhcpV2.zip

You need to delete the LHCP files you already have and use this as a fresh install, otherwise just extract it to your addons folder. It's much bigger than the previous one mostly because people were scared by the fact that the other was a exe. I WAS JUST TRYING TO COMPRESS IT MORE OKAY GOSH. Hopefully /lhcp list will work properly now and there will be less errors. Make sure you try out the new /lgw and /lgwtheme !

Holy poo poo, I forgot how hard it is to make money in vanilla. Granted, my dude is only like, level 12, but still. I bought the sword skill and it wiped out a third of my dough. My precious 10 silver! How much money do y'all have? I have to reacquaint myself with a currency that isn't super inflated by multiple expansions. Hopefully some chumps will buy the crap I posted on the AH, and I'll get one of those fancy GOLD coins!

In order to have enough money for mount at 40, you need to not buy a lot of your skills, and grind a bunch. Basilisks in shimmering flats, or elementals in the badlands are good.choices.

Gathering professions never shirt either. Also, there's a large enough population that you could sell some of the better stuff you find on the AH (Potions, wicked claws, etc)

I can't remember when they introduced reputation discounts. I know Honored gets you 10% but I'm thinking exalted gets you an additional 10%, if so that's 20g off the level 40 mount (18 skill / 2 mount) which is pretty nice. Of course getting to exalted is tricky especially if you do a lot of grinding instead of questing.

Time to reroll human? I remember taking loans from my warlock and paladin friends or others that weren't near 40 yet. But sweet Jesus was no where as bad as getting your epic flying mount in TBC when you had no gold...

There was no 10% for exalted, just honored. PvP Sergeant also gave an additional 10%.

Now that CrunkNutshotjuice has gotten the ball rolling on streamlining guild bank requests, I've been inspired to add some long unfinished functionality to the guild website.

When you visit http://getweirdwith.us now, you will see a checkout link floating at the bottom of the page. To select what items you need from the bank, simply click on the table rows corresponding to your desired items. You can deselect a row in the same fashion. When you select a row it will change colors to indicate your selection, and the item quantity will change from static text to an input field. You can use this input field to record how many you need of a particular item:


After you've selected all the items you desire, go ahead and click the checkout link. Afterwards the following confirmation dialog should popup:


Here you can confirm your selections or empty out your cart. If everything looks weird, just enter you character name, the password (alfalf) and click the checkout button at the bottom of the dialog popup. There are absolutely no restrictions on this form, I will probably add them in as I have time. So help me god, if you weirdos sql inject our site I will delete it so fast. Once you click the checkout button, an email is sent to bank officers and a reply is posted to the Guild Bank Request Thread with your request. Currently it just emails me, but if you're one of these people and are silly enough to want these notifications let me know.

If anyone has any comments/suggestions for this process let me know. I've already had a dream of creating a headless wow-client bank bot server for a long time to completely automate the bank, so if that was one of your suggestions consider it preempted.

Done! I can more or less pull anything about an item that would be stored in this mangos table item_template. Since the item level is stored directly in this table, it is a simple addition. I'd like to have more options for search the bank (stats, armor, whatnot), but some of that is a little more obscured.

So I DLed the no-install client, changed my realmlist file, and cannot connect.

I tried both using the wow.exe as well as the fenixlauncher, but neither gets me past the initial username and password screen of wow.

Oddly enough, using the fenixlauncher resets my realmlist file as well.

Thoughts on how to connect?

Do not use the feenixlauncher, just run wow.exe . Install the connection patch and make sure you realmlist is changed and you should be set.

Just made a character, really enjoying it. No big arrows pointing you in the quest direction, you have to read and do some searching yourself. Plenty of WSG starting so I'm hopefull about getting rank 11 some day too. Maybe its just the nostalgic feeling clouding my judgement but I see myself sticking around here for quite a while.

Also Homercles' next idea (I got inside info now) is indeed awesome and after seeing what he could do with this one, he might just pull it off.
