I was going through my Curse client today to update my addons, and this question came to my head. What addons do people rely on?
Personally, I love Bartender, although I don't find it necessary. The only time I find myself really needing it is when I need to get my glasses prescription updated and I need to make the buttons for the UI bigger...I like Omen well enough, although I don't often go in dungeons, so aggro doesn't really matter to me much. I like SilverDragon, mainly because it lets me know to be careful since there's a rare about. I do, however, find it annoying when I'm in a party with someone who happens to be taking a flight path somewhere and then all of a sudden, SilverDragon lets me know that they saw a rare, and I panic, thinking that it's right next to me or something. Of course, with my luck, it's usually a giant spider that they see...
To be entirely honest, the only addon that I absolutely rely on is HealBot. I love HealBot. It's amazing. But even that, of course, is only turned on when I'm healing.
What about you? Are there any addons that you absolutely cannot play without?

5 Level Project: Larolleyi 1-15
Just got my new re-made Mage, Larolleyi to level 15. I am remaking her in celebration of the patch that will be coming out on Tuesday with features that I love. I adore the new talent system, and they're making Fire Mages a bit more stable; so I made a Fire Mage!
Anyway, at level 5, she looks basically the same as Archanique did. I'll list her equipment anyway, I guess.
Northshire Abbot's Robe, Outfitter Gloves, Northshire Abbot's Cinch, Apprentice's Pants, Northshire Abbot's Shoes, Militia Quarterstaff. Also, on her back is Milly's Fire Extinguisher from the quest Extinguishing Hope, because I hadn't turned it in just yet.
At level 10, she looks a bit different. As you can tell, I changed her hair, at least. Her equipment is:
Linen Cloak, Candlewax Streaked Robe, Red Linen Shirt, Lion's Pride Bracer, Patchwork Gloves, Red Linen Sash, Uncle Stonefield's Pants, Wolf Fur Boots, Militia Quarterstaff, Long Lost Wand.
She is now officially a Fire Mage, and has taken Tailoring and Enchanting as professions.
At level 10, she now looks completely unique compared to my other characters. She is wearing: Cloak of the Stag, Rat Hair Vest, Lion's Pride Bracer, Heavy Linen Gloves, Red Linen Sash, Uncle Stonefield's Pants, Wolf Fur Boots, Satyr Horn Staff, Lesser Magic Wand.
I honestly think I'm going to try to get greens for my bracers and pants before I start dungeoning...if I start dungeoning...Wish me luck! If I decide to, it'll be my first time dungeoning as DPS!

Equipment
I tried a new thing with Archanique's update post, which was adding in the equipment she's wearing.

I'll write up what they're wearing now here, however.

Sorry for the hiatus...
Sorry that I've been away for a while. I've been into Skyrim, which I didn't really think would be good to post about since I wouldn't really have any set way to mark my characters' growth.
However, I am back of WoW, so I'll be back with the WoW characters!
Among the things that have changed...
Thearixic, my Warlock, has been deleted in favor of recreating her as a Human Warlock named Archanique. Nyoro has also been deleted, and reborn as a Worgen Death Knight of the same name. So, I'll update my alts page with that.
School for me will be starting on Monday as well, so I still won't be making too much progress during the week. On weekends though, I can generally get a bit done if I don't have too much homework.

More Divina!

Another interesting thing about Divina is how the Chat system is set up. You have General, Whisper, Class, and Zone. The interesting one here is Class Chat. Basically, instead of having one big chat for everyone to talk in, it's split up by class. For example, I'm playing a Cleric. Therefore, the people that I see talking are also all Clerics. This makes it a whole lot easier to get up-to-date on what the important skills and stats are for a Cleric. This also, however, means that it's much more difficult to contact a Knight, Sorcerer, Mechanist, or Assassin, which I would assume makes it more difficult to group up, but still, it's interesting.
Also, just as a note: Although the graphics and setting of the game are very child-friendly, the chat is often not-so-much. Or, at least, that's how the Cleric chat is, I don't know about the others having never played another class yet XP
*As of January 2013, Divina has shut down.*
Today's Divina Update
Today, I have leveled Cardboard all the way to 21. I've only just started putting points into my specialization. I also got a great new costume. I still love how the costumes in this game are purely aesthetic, so I don't have to equip something that's terrible looking for decent stats. I just worry about my divine wheel, and I can equip whatever I want for clothes. I loved the stuff I already had on, but this change of pace is nice too.
Tsundere is now level 16, and is specialized in magic. I'm finally in the second area, fighting Fuming Imps. I'm very proud of myself for sticking with one character for more than a day; although that honestly might be because starting over is a pain in this game, and you can only have two characters...If you want to delete a character, it's pending for three days. I'm still waiting on the deletion of my Sorcerer, as I would like to create a Knight instead.
I'm still really liking this game! I'm sure the novelty will wear off in a few days, as it always does, but until then, I'm enjoying my time playing it!
I also really like Knowledge Master, although I know a lot of people don't like the randomness of the questions. I personally adore it! The randomness of the questions is what makes it fun, honestly. Sure, the achievements may be pretty impossible to achieve, and I doubt that anyone actually has them, but I love the random questions! If they just lowered the amount of points for the achievements, it would be perfect. I feel like if the questions were all about Divina, like a lot of people seem to want, then that would give new players a huge disadvantage. At least with the random questions like this, someone totally new to the game has a chance to participate. I mean, having just started this game, if those questions were about the game, I probably wouldn't even bother trying until I've played the game for a while; but because the questions are about anything, I am able to play Knowledge Master, and even do fairly well at it! I'm actually excited about it right now because I got third place in the last game, and I was holding onto first for a good while. ^^
