NearbySpy

NearbySpy is a lightweight, passive player-recording addon built for World of Warcraft: Forever. It quietly keeps a local database of every player you meet — in the open world, in your group, in your guild roster and in chat — and periodically contributes anonymous statistics (name, class, level, zone, realm) to RealmPulse, a public demographics project for the Forever server (link at the bottom of this page).

Features

• Passive recording: unit frames, group/party/raid, guild roster, chat channels
• In-game window (/nspy): session summary, fresh-recent counters, level histogram (1–60) and top classes
• Zone /who sweep helper (/nspy suggest) that only prepares the query — you stay in control and click the search button yourself
• Full localization: English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, German, French, Korean (the bundled font includes Cyrillic)
• Zero network traffic except the periodic stats upload
• No passwords, no coordinates, no personal data — see the Privacy section

Installation

1. Download and unpack the archive.
2. Copy the NearbySpy folder into <Client>/Interface/AddOns/.
3. Enable it in the in-game AddOns list.

Full illustrated instructions in your language are on the RealmPulse site (link at the bottom of this page).

Commands

• /nspy — toggle the main window
• /nspy count — counters and debug totals
• /nspy suggest — prepare a zone /who query for review
• /nspy debug — toggle verbose chat logging (off by default)

Privacy

Only the name, class, level, zone and realm of encountered players is collected. Names read from chat channels also enter the database — if that is unwanted for you, simply don't use the addon.
