HeyListen

Mirrors ready checks and whispers from one WoW account to another, so you never miss them while alt-tabbed away or playing without sound on your second account.

Why

If you multi-box two accounts on TBC Classic — boosting one character with the other, while you raid / farm / level the other manually — you've probably missed a ready check after a boost run, or a whisper while focused on the other window. HeyListen mirrors those events from one account to the other, in-game, with a clear visual + audio alert.

Ready check → full-screen red flash on the receiving account
Whisper → toast notification (sender + message), top-right corner, movable

No external tools. No background daemon. Pure Lua addon — communication runs entirely inside WoW over the standard addon-message channel.

Requirements

TBC Classic / Anniversary (Interface 2.5.x)
Both characters must be on the same realm and same faction (TBC whisper limitation)
Addon installed on both accounts

Installation

Install via your addon manager (CurseForge app, etc.), or unpack into the AddOns folder:

World of Warcraft/_classic_/Interface/AddOns/HeyListen/

For Anniversary realms:

World of Warcraft/_anniversary_/Interface/AddOns/HeyListen/

Setup

After install, log in on each account and pair it to the other character:

/hey <Charname-Realm>

Example with two characters Stroetroll (Account A) and Andryusha (Account B), both on realm Spineshatter:

On Account A: /hey Andryusha-Spineshatter
On Account B: /hey Stroetroll-Spineshatter

Verify with /hey test from either side — the other account should see a green TEST toast.

Commands

All commands also work with /heylisten and /hl as aliases.

Command	What it does
`/hey <Name-Realm>`	Set the mirror partner (shorthand)
`/hey pair <Name-Realm>`	Set the mirror partner
`/hey unpair`	Clear partner
`/hey status`	Show current partner and state
`/hey test`	Send a test signal to the partner
`/hey mute`	Toggle sound on/off for received alerts
`/hey move`	Toggle drag mode to reposition the toast stack

Limitations

TBC Classic does not allow cross-realm whispers, so both characters must share a realm.
Whispers from your partner to you are not mirrored back (prevents loops).
If the partner character is offline when an event fires, the message is silently dropped — the addon-message API in TBC does not report delivery failures back to the sender.
Whisper text longer than ~200 bytes is split into multiple addon messages and reassembled on the receiving side. Very long whispers (multi-paragraph) work but arrive after a brief delay.
