AdventurePlates - FFXIV-Style Social Profiles & Character Cards
For more than two decades, inspecting another character in World of Warcraft has shown you the same thing: gear durability, enchant icons, and a wall of stat numbers. You learn nothing about the person behind the avatar. AdventurePlates - FFXIV-Style Social Profiles & Character Cards changes that by bringing customizable, immersive 3D character profile cards straight into Azeroth, inspired by Final Fantasy XIV's beloved Adventurer Plates.
Whether you are a roleplay enthusiast, a hardcore dungeon crawler, or a weekend casual, your plate becomes your character's living calling card. It tells fellow travelers what you enjoy doing, when you are online, and how you prefer to interact. If you want to download AdventurePlates - FFXIV-Style Social Profiles & Character Cards, you will find it in the usual addon repositories, and the foxygame.net launcher also carries it in its curated addon catalog, so one click handles the install and keeps it updated between patches.
What Makes Adventure Plates Different
AdventurePlates - FFXIV-Style Social Profiles & Character Cards for World of Warcraft is not just a prettier inspect window. It is a full identity system built around expression, coordination, and respect for other players' time.
- Express Your Identity: Pose your character in full 3D with authentic animations, custom lighting, scenic zone backdrops, and ornate trims.
- Showcase Your Playstyle: Display up to 4 focus badges, from Dungeon Delver and Raid Progression to Hardcore Survival, Master Crafter, and Roleplay & Lore.
- Coordinate Playtimes: A visual 24-hour dual timeline shows your regular active hours for both weekdays and weekends.
- Set Social Expectations: The native WU/T (Walk-Up / Tell) system signals whether you welcome random walk-ups, prefer a whisper first, or are busy focusing on a run.
- Zero Spam, Zero Lag: Lightweight peer-to-peer sync compresses your entire profile into a tiny 200-byte whisper packet that syncs on demand with no channel throttling.
The 3D Portrait Studio and Zone Backdrops
Pose, Dress, and Rotate
The WYSIWYG studio opens with /plate edit and lets you rotate your avatar with a mouse drag while you browse categorized dropdown menus. You get 17 authentic sequence poses based on official M2 animation data, including Battle Stance, Salute, Bow, Cheer, Dance, Laugh, Roar, Kneel, Applaud, Flex, attack swings, spell casts, and more. A "Reflect Current Gear" button updates the 3D model instantly whenever you swap equipment or transmog, and you can frame it all with ornate trims like Alliance Gold, Horde Iron, Elven Silver, Bronze Dragon, and Obsidian Slate.
39 Curated Zone Art Backdrops
Every backdrop is pre-cropped to exact 2:3 portrait proportions at 512x768, so nothing stretches or distorts. Choose from Alliance and Horde territories, Kalimdor wilderness, Eastern Kingdoms battlefields, raids and legends like The Dark Portal and Silithus Sands, plus epic landscapes such as The Dreamgrove, Bastion, Ardenweald, and Revendreth.
Playtime Schedules and Social Preferences
Two separate 24-hour schedule bars cover weekdays and weekends, with quick-toggle daypart presets for Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Late Night. Hover tooltips on each hour slot show exact server time availability. Alongside the schedule, FFXIV-inspired status badges make your social readiness unmistakable: WU/T for open walk-ups and tells, WU for in-person walk-ups only, T for whisper first, OPEN for friendly grouping, and BUSY when you are locked into a run.
You can also pick up to 4 playstyle badges with descriptive tooltips, choose an honorific title such as The Explorer or Master Artisan, and write a sanitized motto of up to 140 characters. Privacy controls let you set your plate to Everyone, Friends & Guild Only, or Private, and private plates automatically drop incoming queries.
