Description
# Vamoose's Neighbors
**Your neighborhood directory for World of Warcraft Housing -- see who lives where, check endeavor progress, and visit friends.**
Browse every plot in your neighborhood at a glance. See who owns each house, check which endeavor each neighborhood is running and how far along it is, discover new neighborhoods before you commit, and find your Battle.net friends' and guild members' houses across all neighborhoods -- all from one compact panel with an embedded map.

## What's New in v1.6.1
**Polish pass on v1.6.0**
- **Search also finds friends by Battle.net tag** -- not just character name.
- **Renaming a group works** -- fixed.
- **Groups are exclusive** -- moving a house to group B now auto-removes it from the old group. No more duplicates.
- **Favourites section above Groups** -- stars come first.
- **"Empty plots" bucket behaves itself** -- hidden from the Groups popup (it manages itself), always sits at the bottom of the Neighborhood list, renamed from the confusing "Empty" label.
- **Localization** -- Groups, Favourites, Favourite / Unfavourite, Alliance / Horde / All, and the default group name now display in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (simplified + traditional).
- **Stale plot ownership cleaned up** -- if a friend's plot changes hands (a former owner is no longer the actual owner), VN now correctly clears the old entry on the next scan.
- **Battle.net tag sticks when a friend goes offline** -- we remember it once we've seen it; it only clears when the friend is removed from your BNet list entirely.
