Max Adventure Journal Retail V1.2.8

A roleplay session recorder for World of Warcraft Retail.

Max Adventure Journal Retail records your gameplay session and turns your journey into an immersive narrative chronicle. It tracks zones, quests, dungeons, raids, companions, PvE/PvP events, deaths, loot, recovery, gold changes, and personal notes, then generates a readable roleplay report that can be copied, archived, or shared with your guild.

- Manual Start / Stop recording.
- Narrative chronicle generation.
- Dungeon Chronicle Mode for 5-man dungeon / instance runs.
- Raid and social-context tracking when detected by the client.

- Compact movable mini HUD.

New in V1.2.7:
- Major RP vocabulary expansion for both English and Italian.
- GDR/RP Say pools have been expanded to reduce repeated phrases during normal play.
- Added class-aware identity lines for Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Death Knight, Shaman, Mage, Warlock, Monk, Druid, Demon Hunter and Evoker.
- Journal reports now inject class-specific narrative identity, so a Paladin, Death Knight, Mage, Rogue, etc. no longer sound the same.
- Dungeon and party chronicles now use recorded companion names more strongly in RP text.
- During gameplay, RP phrases can now use current party data such as companion names, party count and dungeon/zone context.

New in V1.2.6:
- Added Retail-safe manual line-by-line RP Guild Story sharing.
- The Guild RP button now prepares a short RP adventure report split into numbered lines.
- Each click sends one line to guild chat, avoiding Retail automatic multiline blocking while preserving the story.
- Added /maj guildnext to send the next queued line and /maj guildreset to clear the queue.
- The Guild button changes to Next RP while lines are waiting.

New in V1.2.5:
- Guild Chat report is now a real RP micro-chronicle instead of a stats-only summary.
- The single Retail-safe guild line now includes the character, class, dungeon/session, companions, combat outcome and narrative closing.
- Keeps the report within one guild message to avoid Retail multiline chat blocking, while preserving the roleplay adventure feel.

New in V1.2.4:
- Fixed Retail Guild Chat reliability again.
- The Guild button now sends one complete compact report line instead of a delayed multiline queue.
- This avoids the Retail client blocking automated delayed guild messages after the first line.
- Full multiline chronicles remain available through /maj export for manual copy/paste.

New in V1.2.3:
- README updated to match the current Retail release.
- Version metadata aligned with the V1.2.x feature set.

New in V1.2.2:
