HearthCircle

HearthCircle

Bring social WoW back — one Heart Signal at a time.

HearthCircle is a lightweight social / RP addon for World of Warcraft Retail built to make World of Warcraft feel alive again.
It introduces Heart Signals: an opt-in status system that lets you broadcast your intent (RP, social, tavern, mentoring, housing visitors) and discover other players who are also open to interaction — without Trade chat spam or Discord dependency.

This addon is non-combat, opt-in only, and designed to be safe and respectful.
