I Play WoW on Facebook

If you're looking for some WoW representation on Facebook, it'll do you right. The only real complaint I have is that it doesn't by default show off any armor or stats that you have (the other app, WoW Armory, does, and here's another app that's even flashier if you want to go that way), but then again, how many of your Facebook friends really want to follow your characters that closely? And there's a quick link to the Armory page for those who do. All in all, nice app, and the perfect way to show a little WoW pride on Facebook.

I have it on my facebook page. But it makes me sad that I'm alone from any of my guilds...

I've been using it for a while, and it's a pretty good app. The only problem is that it doesn't auto-update your character information (you've gotta manually reset the character data) and the interface is a bit clunky, and doesn't have a smaller version for the left sidebar (just the same version that's used in the main column).
I don't think the creator is doing anything more to it either. I haven't seen any new changes since I added it several months ago (maybe even a year ago).

To let you know, I've been dedicating about 2 hours a week to it pretty consistently since launch. The majority of the changes lately have been in the backend to improve stability and performance.
The next major user-facing feature is a much better image uploading system.

I use an app called "Hearthstone" on facebook for my WoW stuff. It lets you duel your friends too.

I've had this on my Facebook for a while. I wish more people would use it; there's only 2 people from my guild. The only annoying thing is that you have to update it manually (for example, when you reach a new level).

I wish Mike would put some effort into his gear, wow.

@baluki
i use this app and i have it set on my left sidebar. i guess you just need to fool around with moving your applications because, if i'm not mistaken, you can actually put them either there or in the main section, depending on your preference. i'm the minimalist type and i actually just reactivated my facebook, so i don't have a bunch of random clutter. it's just this app :[ haha.
