Cosmos was one of my favorite addon collections. I used many of their addons. I have had to find replacements for many of them. It did force me to pare down my addons though. A shame they will not be doing any more updates. I have not found a decent replacement for EasyMail yet though. I did find a good quest log replacement in Lightheaded. I did manage to make a few of the addons from cosmos function by loading out of date addons. They are ones that did not have other dependencies. I removed the rest. Still searching for other replacements.

My server is horible at selling glyphs. Actually, after the first day I have only been able to sell a handfull of major glyphs. Minor glyphs are selling okay but there are so many scribes on my server that half or more of my minor glyphs are known by someone else. There are many people giving the glyphs away if mats are provided! I gave up on most of my majors and just gave them to guildies (they always tip good) and I am saving the rest for a better market. I was one of the first on my server to lvl inscription (thanks for the guide) and I did make almost 3k by the next morning.

Luckily I have found addons to do most everything I absolutely need. I dont use too many addons anyways but I do miss some of my map addons. I tried cartographer but I was not happy with it so I am not using any right now.

When using Bigwigs I cant see any writing in my chat screen which was pretty funny. Being told when to roll over Vent and not knowing what you got. apparently i rolled 100 on my T6 helm tho so im not complaining
Inscription has been a bit of a farce so far but i got pretty lucky with my minor glyphs (water walking, underwater breathing & water shield) so i have managed to make 4k gold so far and still hav a bank full of mats and glyphs to spare and this is from a player who is very bad at making (or retaining) money. made a few DK ones that im holding onto until WOTLK goes live and hoping that will make me a bit aswell

Um, I’m not confused – the client (the program you are running on your computer) for WowMatrix is not the same as the Curse client. Yes, either client can grab said addons wherever they want, but that does not make the piece of software that you are running on your computer the same. The Curse client basically does not work for Macs. The WowMatrix client does work for Macs. I don’t understand why you’re confused.

i guess i was a fortunate one here, i knew that addons wouldn’t work on patch day so i took my addons folder and moved it to my desktop and went from there first looking for updates for the addons i had, luck ran out from there, but one good thing happened, 2 days after patch i had all my addons back with no errors. i feel your pain about extra bars Gavin, i use to use bongos, as of Thursday night bongos didn’t work, next best thing was domino’s and to find out same author and just an upgraded version of bongos yea got action bars next, next was coords, downloaded map notes and yea coords, to make it short i got my mail mod, outfitter, titan quest, omen, dtm, and a few others loaded and works fine, all on Thursday night. addons take patients to get the updated version so if your addons aren’t working and you want them back, just wait and see if they get updated if not find one that is similar or is a run off such as domino’s to bongos. good luck and happy mod hunting.

i disagree with you lawbringer on the wowmatrix being curseclient…if it’s the same code…they greatly improved it over the curse client…works way better

The only thing not working in Prat for me is the “button” module. It puts the scroll buttons in the middle of my chat window?!? I just disabled it and everything’s fine.
BTW, I am using Prat as a replacement to TasteTheNaimBow. Not perfect, but it does inject some colour to my chat windows…

“The beta version of FloTotemBar is working fine now. ”

Thank you thank you thank you

My fave totem mod so far had been TotemMenuRedux. It was clean, plain and simple. And defunct with TBC. SO I moved on to Yata, but I found out that in 3.0 it will only display vertically, and I had it set to go horizontal.
This FloTotemBar looks like just the right thing!!!

Wowmatrix gets auctioneer from WoWInterface. So it can still be updated.

Two weeks before the patch I farmed herbs and had over 1500 herbs in my bank. When patch day came out, I was able to level inscription without having to buy herbs, so that saved me a lot of fustration and agony not to mention gold.
I was the first person on my server to reach 365 in inscription by using Galvin’s Guide. The server was a big mess and at first I wasnt able to do anything, but I just waited it out and stayed up all night to level it. The next day no one was able to go to Outlands because it was crashing, so i was able to make and sell higher level glyphs that other inscribers couldn’t make. I made over 2000 gold the first night. I was selling my glyphs for 50 and 100 gold. Soon other people were starting to get on the bandwagon and they were selling their glyphs for 10 or 5 gold. I used the money i made off my glyphs to buy them off the ah, and resold them for my price. Unfortunately I didnt have enough gold to keep up. I ended up spending my gold to buy the cheaper ones and resaling them. After awhile people were selling their glyphs in trade chat for 3-5 gold. People in the trade chat were complaining on how high the glyphs were in the ah and were buying the 3-5 gold ones. I couldnt beat that. I had to lower my prices drastically, I refused to sell my glyphs so cheap after all my hard work, so I decided to sell my glyphs by level. Level 15@15 gold etc etc. To my amazement I have been doing pretty well, and some times I will throw in a DK glyph just to get people to buy from me. This is actually working, and most people send me tells saying ” Are you joking,” I will tell them no im not joking buy from me today and I’ll throw in a free DK glyph. Of course I don’t do that everytime, but I have to do something to beat the competition.
The minor glyphs have been a disappointment, for some reason no one on my server seems to wants to pay for anything they want something for free.
I have a stash of glyphs and ink in the ah from all the herbs I collected, and most of my customers like the fact that they dont have to wait on a glyph. I just go right to my bank and get the glyph, takes two seconds and they are on their way.
