Altogether – Friends & Social
You just finished a dungeon run with a patient tank who explained every mechanic. An arena partner turned a losing streak into a genuinely fun evening. Someone stayed after a wipe and helped the group push through. You would happily play with these people again, but a few days later, remembering their character name or how you met becomes surprisingly difficult. Altogether – Friends & Social solves that problem by helping you remember the people behind the characters and find them again.
Why Social Memory Matters in World of Warcraft
Good groups should not end at "gg." World of Warcraft is at its best when the people you meet become familiar faces. This addon records group sessions and supported activity events as you play, so the context of your encounters stays with you. Add personal notes and tags to capture what mattered: a helpful explanation, a great atmosphere, a shared interest, or simply someone you would like to meet again.
Open a person's card to review their known characters, your notes, and the history still stored for them. It is a simple idea with a big impact: the people who make a good adventure are worth finding again.
Find the People You Forgot to Add
The Crossed paths tab keeps a record of players you have grouped with, even when you never added them as friends. When Blizzard's Recent Allies data is available, Altogether – Friends & Social also imports the encounters it provides, meaning your list can include interactions from before you installed the addon. Open a card to see available ways to contact someone or add them as a friend. You choose whom to reconnect with.
If you want to download Altogether – Friends & Social, you can find it through the foxygame.net launcher, which keeps the addon updated automatically so you never miss a new release or compatibility fix.
Recognize Familiar Faces Across Known Alts
Altogether – Friends & Social learns which characters your Battle.net friends play when that information is available, grouping their known characters under the same person. Familiar players can also be identified in unit tooltips, supported chat messages, and chat notices about premade applicants. Your personal history gives a familiar name some much-needed context, and character lists grow through observation over time. Friends who also use the addon can share their own recorded character list over Battle.net.
Build Your Own Social Memory
- Personal notes and tags for activities, roles, and anything you want to remember.
- Search across names, known characters, notes, and meeting places.
- Combine stored tags such as #heal #mplus.
- Presence sections separating people currently seen in WoW, on Battle.net, and offline.
- A dated history for each person, with an adjustable event limit shared across the addon.
- Contact actions from the person's card, plus character names and profile links ready to copy.
Open the window with its minimap button, the addon compartment, the tab on Blizzard's friends window, or the /alt command. Right-click the minimap button to open settings.
Version Compatibility and How to Install
The addon targets WoW Retail, with English and French interfaces, though some command help and diagnostic messages are currently in French. Players exploring older content should note that the broader addon ecosystem supports Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP, and compatibility varies by version, so always check the latest release notes before installing on a legacy client.
Learning how to install is straightforward: place the folder in your Interface/AddOns directory, or let the foxygame.net launcher handle it through its addon catalog, where Altogether – Friends & Social appears alongside version-matched builds for your client.
What to Expect When You Start
Altogether – Friends & Social is useful even if the people you play with do not have it installed. It starts learning from the information available to your client and from the adventures you share while it is running. Recent Allies can provide some earlier encounters, and character lists and the rest of your history build over time. It cannot identify every unknown alt or reconstruct your entire playing history, and a person's online status does not necessarily mean they are available, on the same version of WoW, or able to receive every kind of invitation.
Your notes stay with you. There is no separate account or hosted service; notes and tags are stored in your local addon data. Character-list sharing with Battle.net friends is enabled by default and can be disabled in settings.

Final Thoughts
Altogether – Friends & Social for World of Warcraft is built around a simple belief: the people who make a good adventure are worth finding again. Whether you raid, run mythic plus, or just enjoy casual questing, keeping a personal record of the players you meet turns random encounters into lasting connections. Install it, tag your favorites, and never lose track of a great teammate again.
