Moonlight_Info
In the vast and ever-evolving worlds of Azeroth, staying connected with your guildmates is often the difference between a successful raid night and a scattered group. Whether you are grinding dungeons in World of Warcraft Retail or reliving the glory days in Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, or MoP, knowing who is online without constantly spamming the guild chat is essential. This is where Moonlight_Info shines as a lightweight, highly customizable solution designed to keep you informed at a glance.
Real-Time Guild Presence Tracking
The core functionality of this addon revolves around its unobtrusive main information window. Unlike bulky interface replacements that clutter your screen, Moonlight_Info provides a small, freely draggable frame that displays the current count of online guild members against the total roster. It is designed to be minimalist yet informative. With a simple left-click, you can instantly open the full guild frame to send messages or inspect players. A right-click grants immediate access to the settings menu, allowing for quick adjustments without digging through complex menus.
What truly sets this tool apart is its sophisticated "Watch List" feature. Players often have specific friends or key raid members they need to coordinate with immediately upon login. By adding specific character names to your personal watch list, the addon highlights them the moment they appear online. The visual distinction is brilliant: characters who have logged in within the last thirty seconds are marked with a star icon and displayed in white text. Those who have been online longer appear in a user-defined color. This allows you to instantly distinguish between someone who just arrived and someone who has been waiting in Orgrimmar or Stormwind for hours.
Audio Alerts and Smart Notifications
Sometimes, looking at your screen isn't enough, especially when you are crafting or managing inventory. Moonlight_Info integrates seamless audio alerts to ensure you never miss a critical login. When a watched character transitions from offline to online, a distinct notification sound plays. Conversely, if you log in and find that a watched member was already present, a different sound cue triggers. This dual-audio system helps you understand the context of your guild's availability immediately. These sounds are fully configurable, ensuring they fit your personal audio landscape without being intrusive.
Advanced Performance and System Metrics
Beyond guild tracking, this addon serves as a compact dashboard for your game's performance. The optional top info bar can be enabled to display server time, the current date with color-coded weekdays, and vital system metrics like FPS and latency. The latency indicator is particularly useful, changing colors from green to yellow to red based on your connection quality, acting as a traffic light for your gameplay experience.
The level of customization here is impressive. Each element in the top bar can be assigned to a specific line and position with independent font sizes. The addon intelligently prevents overlapping, ensuring that two items never occupy the same space. This makes it an excellent choice for players who want maximum data density without sacrificing screen real estate, regardless of whether they are playing on a high-end rig in Retail or optimizing for older clients in WotLK.
Installation and Configuration
Getting started with this powerful tool is straightforward. When you download Moonlight_Info, you will find it compatible with a wide range of game versions. The installation process follows standard procedures: simply place the folder into your Interface/AddOns directory. If you are unsure how to install addons manually, many players prefer using launchers that streamline the process. For instance, the foxygame.net launcher offers a unique advantage by featuring a comprehensive addon catalog where you can locate Moonlight_Info and enable one-click installs that automatically handle version compatibility and future updates for you.
Once installed, the configuration is handled through a dedicated options window built on the AbstractFramework UI library. This interface is divided into two clear tabs: "Guild Alerts" and "Top Info." Here, you can tweak list font sizes, adjust colors via a picker, and toggle the visibility of various header elements. All your preferences are saved to the NewMoonlightGuildDB variable, meaning your setup persists seamlessly across sessions and character logins.

It bridges the gap between minimalism and functionality, offering deep insights into guild activity and system performance without overwhelming the user.
