FriendShare

DOWNLOAD

FriendShare is an alt-friendly addon that shares friends and ignore information across characters on the same realm and faction. It is useful when you want this information or control available inside the game without adding an unnecessarily large UI package. The goal is to make a specific WotLK 3.3.5a task quicker and easier to read while leaving the rest of the interface largely unchanged.

Main features

  • global friend list across alts.
  • shared ignore list.
  • import and rebuild commands.
  • optional automatic handling of your own alts.

How to use

Log into each alt after installation, then rebuild or import the lists only if needed. Check that names belong to the correct faction and realm.

Useful commands in the supported build include:

  • /friendshare reset
  • /fs import
  • /is import
  • /fs alts off

Installation

  1. Download the addon archive for your WotLK 3.3.5a client.
  2. Close World of Warcraft before replacing addon files.
  3. Extract the addon folder into World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns.
  4. Start the game and make sure the addon is enabled on the character-selection screen.
  5. Test its basic function in a safe situation before using it in a raid, arena, Auction House session, or other important activity.

If FriendShare does not appear to work, first check for an extra nested folder inside AddOns and confirm that you downloaded a build intended for the 3.3.5a API. Old WotLK addons often have several forks, so commands and optional modules can differ slightly between packages. Keep a backup of a working addon folder before replacing it with another fork.
