Some helpful links related to the games we play. If you can think of any useful additions to this page, please post about them in the forum. No such thing as too much info... ;-)

World of Warcraft Community Site

Blizzard's official site for World of Warcraft, featuring basic introduction to the game, strategy, technical support, etc.

World of Warcraft Data Base

Thottbot, an absolutely exhaustive source of information on all aspects of the World of Warcraft. Invaluable.

Allakhazam's Magical Realm

Another comprehensive data base of WoW information.

CTmod

CTmod, home of CT Raid Assist, an invaluable end game mod, and mandatory for participants of guild raids (an alternative mod is also acceptable, Ora2, linked below). Ogaming's review of this mod says 'CTmod is a small, sleek, efficient mod that adds all the basic tools you could ask for. Some of its basic features include four ways to display your player, party, and targets life and mana stats, as well as the very common sidebars and options menu. One of the most notable aspects of the mod is how clean the options menu is. The tool tips are short and descriptive, and it gives a message in your chat window when you change something. Changing an option is just a simple click of a picture. The mod does not support class specific mods like Cosmos, but it has the essentials. Our only regret is it has no update program. We recommend this mod to anyone with a very low experience or better in computers. If you can drag and drop you got this one down.'

oRA2

oRA2 is a lightweight alternative for CTRaidAssist. It should support all addon messages sent by CTRA and reply correctly to them. oRA2 has no raidframes, use your own favorite ones. oRA2 does have maintanks and playertargets.

Deadly Boss Mods

Teamspeak

Teamspeak is a multiple user voice chat program used for communication in instances. If you have to take the time to type 'Help me!' it's already too late. ShadowRaven hosts its own Teamspeak server - sign on information available to members and applicants.

Warcraft In Game Calendar

A handy little add on, this gives you a calendar accessible from a tab on your minimap, with guild events listed and described.

CallToArms

Call To Arms (CTA) was created to help players who are having trouble getting into raids for any instances or otherwise. CTA works like a search engine, allowing players to host, find and join raids very quickly and easily like never before.
CTA lets raid leaders create a profile of their raid. This profile includes a short description, the maximum size wanted, the minimum level of the players in the raid and even a password to join. Raid leaders can even set the class distribution of the raid members.
Players can also use CTA to search for these raids using various search criteria. When a suitable raid is found, players can easily ask for an invitation to the raid. Even if the players do not have CTA, they can still request an invitation by sending a whisper to the raid leader.
CTA will automatically invite players who meet the requirements of the raid, ie. an invitation will be sent only if the player has the correct class and level needed by the raid group.
CTA operates on a single channel (CTA channel) and has several anti-spam features. Communication is efficient and lightweight - only queries are sent over the CTA channel - at a maximum rate of once per 5 seconds per user. When not in use, CTA automatically removes the player from the CTA channel, so broadcast overhead to the server is minimal.
