DontReleaseTBC is a safety-focused quality-of-life addon for The Burning Crusade Classic (TBC 2.5.5) that helps prevent accidental spirit release after death.

Designed for tanks, raiders, dungeon runners, and players who frequently corpse-run, it blocks unintended release actions until you intentionally hold a chosen modifier key (SHIFT / CTRL / ALT) for a set duration.

This protects against accidental clicks, keyboard slips, UI spam, or panic releases that can waste time, break dungeon recovery, or cause raid issues.
