Forever Told

Your story, forever told.

Forever Told writes your adventure down as you play. Every new zone, every level, every boss, every friend and every player who ganked you on the road to Tarren Mill goes into a living journal, grouped into chapters as you climb to 60.

And when someone wrongs you, Forever Told never forgets. Keep a grudge list, pin wanted posters with a gold reward, and share a bounty board with your guild so that anyone can take your revenge for you.

Made for WoW Forever and Classic Era / Hardcore. It uses no combat data on Forever, so it works within the Midnight addon restrictions.

The Journal

• Automatic entries: first visits, dungeons, level-ups, quest milestones, epic (or rare) loot, gold milestones, profession ranks, first boss kills and deaths, each with a bit of flavour text.
• Chapters: your story is split into seven named chapters, from First Steps to Legend, one for every ten levels.
• Chapter recaps: at levels 10, 20, 30 and so on, the chapter you just finished is summed up: new places, quests, dungeon runs, bosses, friends, deeds, deaths and time played.
• Your own notes: add a line whenever something memorable happens.
• Filters and search: show only places, levels, loot, PvP and so on, newest or oldest first, and search any page.
• Level-up moments: a slim banner (held until combat ends) and an automatic screenshot every time you ding.

Fellowship

Everyone you've grouped with is remembered: when and where you first met, and how many groups, dungeon runs and boss kills you've shared. Your closest companion sits at the top.

Deeds

35 home-made, vanilla-flavoured badges, from Hogger Hunter and Saddle Up to Eastern Kingdoms Delver, Survivor (level 20 without dying), Sweet Revenge and Guild Enforcer. Progress bars show how close you are to each one.

Grudges & Revenge

• Grudge list: every player who kills you, with their class, level, guild, where they were last seen, and a running score of your revenge against their kills.
• Sweet revenge: kill them back and it goes in the journal: "Sweet revenge on Stabby! Score: 2 to 3."
• Nemesis nearby: a red warning when someone on your list shows up on your nameplates, target or mouseover.
• Rivalry map: which zones you get ganked in, where you hit back, and what time of day it happens.

Wanted Posters

• Click any grudge to open a parchment WANTED poster: portrait, crimes, last seen and reward.
• Set a reward of none, 1g, 5g, 10g or any amount you like, then pin it to your guild's board.
• Share takes a clean screenshot of just the poster, ready to post on Discord.

Guild Bounty Board

• Guildies running Forever Told share their open grudges automatically.
• Poster wall: every guild bounty as a mini poster on wood, highest reward first. Collected ones get a red AVENGED stamp.
• Collect a bounty: kill anyone on the board and everyone who posted them is avenged: "Bob avenged you: Stabby is down."
• Witness reports: spot a wanted player and your guild sees "last seen in Tarren Mill, 3 minutes ago by Bob."
• Rewards: addons can't move gold, so rewards are promises. The poster tracks who owes whom, and the person who posted it marks it paid once they've traded or mailed the gold.

Atlas & Stats

• Atlas: every place you've discovered, by continent, with the level and date you first arrived, plus dungeons, bosses defeated and the zones where you've been ganked.
• Stats: time played, fastest and slowest levels, a time-per-level chart, deadliest zone, most gold held, bounties collected, and a breakdown of every chapter.

Commands

/forevertold works too.

Good to know

• Who killed you: Classic Era gives addons the combat log, so the killer is exact. WoW Forever closes it, so Forever Told blames whichever hostile player was targeting you in your last 15 seconds, and marks it as a best guess.
• Guild features only work with guildies who also run Forever Told. Bounty sharing and witness reports can be turned off in Settings.
• Time per level asks the game for /played once per login, so you'll see that line in chat once. You can turn it off.
• All data is saved per character.
