With
patch 3.3 just hours away, we thought it might be nice to do a quick list of major addons that have already been updated to give you something to do while waiting for the servers to come back up, then
waiting in the login queue, and then waiting for Dalaran to load. You've got a good fifteen minutes worth of downtime just trying to get out of Dalaran. Oh, and don't forget to set your game client to load out of date addons to cover all of the ones that haven't updated yet.
Editor's Note:
- Please be extra careful about clicking links in the comments of this post. We will leave them turned on, but topics like this bring phishers out of the woodwork. Stick to addon hosts you recognize, such as Curse, WowAce, and WoWInterface. Wehaxugold.com is probably not a legitimate source of add-ons.
- Some add-ons will work if you check "Load out of date AddOns" in the add-on list box at the character select screen. Your milage my vary however.
- We are updating this post throughout the day, however we cannot list every possible add-on.

Just to let you guys know, Everyquest has been updated to use the new QuestHistory API, and is fully compatible with 3.3 (having extensive testing on the PTR), even though the TOC hasn't been updated yet.
This is fairly old news, but I havn't seen it anywhere on WoW.com yet.
People going for Loremaster: Rejoice!

I'm actually editing an article about it right now for later today. EveryQuest rocks this patch.

*does a little jig* So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOREMASTER WILL BE MINE!
Henrah Dec 8th 2009 9:47AM
This is awesome news indeed, Adam!
It's one of the lesser known add-ons, but with this new functionality it truely does rock now.
I look forward to the article!

Can I give up quest helper with this? I would LOVE to, I keep my recount clear all the time too because I feel like I'm just lagged down with add ons.
Actually I'm feeling like having a good old clear out of add ons and going very minimal for 3.3
shocking I know! But I couldn't do without a quest add on for my Pally alt

Does this mean I get to be one of those people who complains that kids these days have it too easy, since I completed my Loremaster a couple weeks ago before Blizzard added the function to let mod authors query the completed quest list?
Gnosh Dec 8th 2009 10:58AM
Questhelper supports not only listing the quest, but adding the questgivers as waypoints.
So there.

Yeah man, I feel your pain. I completed Loremaster about 3 months ago, and it was a hardcore achievement - you really felt like you had done something epic.

Ace3 and Atlasloot Enchanced updated a few minutes ago.

(Yes, the above is a joke -.-)
catharsis80 Dec 8th 2009 9:51AM
That's hilarious how so many people downrated it so fast.
catharsis80 Dec 8th 2009 9:57AM
AND apparently they hate that it was a joke, too. Strange. Do they want the hacked gold or don't they? Or maybe just no sense of humor.

But... Wehaxugold.com said that I would get all legendary items if I installed their addon: ThisAddonIsNotAKeylogger :-( ahhh man
Skonged Dec 8th 2009 9:41AM
Just get the authenticator and the legendary item is yours! They gave me a free epics and I sold it to someone i the raid.
Shionia Dec 8th 2009 10:00AM
good lord skonged, just LET IT GO :p
Skonged Dec 8th 2009 10:46AM
What are you talking about?

Is there a good alternative to the Curse Client so I can autoupdate?
Brian Vrolyk Dec 8th 2009 10:12AM
wowmatrix works for most of the addons worth updating. And if not, there's usually a decent alternative that does.
Yakuko Dec 8th 2009 10:16AM
WoWMatrix hosts mainly out of date addons now that Curse and WoWInterface blocked it from updating directly from their sites (the fact that they were stealing bandwidth should be reason enough not to use it). There's the Minion from WoWInterface, but I personally don't like it as much as the Curse client which works beautifully for me.
Ackis Dec 8th 2009 10:40AM
There's version 4 of the Curse Client which I personally use.
You can get it here:

WoWInterface also has a client called Minion. You can get it here:
