Ready Check Popup
Every raid leader knows the moment. You hit the ready check, the chat scrolls, and somewhere between boss timers and healing assignments you lose track of who actually clicked ready. The Ready Check Popup addon solves that problem by putting the answer right in front of your face in a clean, simple window. No more squinting at chat lines or waiting on players who quietly went AFK on the bench.
What Ready Check Popup Does
This lightweight addon creates a popup window that tells you when players in the assigned groups are ready or not ready. By default it watches groups 1 through 4, which covers the standard raid setup, and it clearly displays exactly who is not ready or offline when a ready check fails. Instead of guessing why the check stalled, you get names, statuses, and a clear picture in one glance.
The addon also includes a close window button and a pull button, but only if you are the one assigned to do so in the raid. That means raid leaders and assistants can close the popup and start the pull timer without juggling extra keybinds or slash commands. If you are not a leader or assistant, the buttons simply do not appear, keeping your interface clean.
Why Raiders Actually Need It
The original motivation behind the addon was simple: the author kept missing the moment when everyone was finally ready, and got tired of waiting on chat notifications for players sitting on the bench but still in the raid group who never clicked not ready. That is a familiar frustration for anyone who leads raids regularly. Ready Check Popup fixes it with a direct, visual answer.
- Instantly see who is not ready or offline when a check fails
- Default tracking for groups 1 through 4, matching common raid layouts
- Close and pull buttons for raid leads and assistants only
- Minimal interface footprint that does not fight with your other addons
- Built to solve a real raiding problem, not to pad a feature list
Game Versions and Compatibility
Ready Check Popup for World of Warcraft is built to work across the major versions players actually raid in. Whether you are pushing current content in Retail, reliving the original journey in Classic, or progressing through TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, or MoP, the addon's core function stays the same: show you who is ready and who is holding up the pull. Compatibility with these versions means you can keep the same raiding habits no matter which era of Azeroth you are playing.
Installing the Addon
If you are wondering how to install it, the process is the standard World of Warcraft routine. Download Ready Check Popup, extract the folder into your Interface/AddOns directory, and restart the game or reload your UI. Once loaded, the addon works quietly in the background until a ready check fires. If you prefer a smoother path, the foxygame.net launcher keeps Ready Check Popup in its addon catalog and handles one-click installation alongside automatic updates, so version compatibility stays current without manual folder shuffling.
For players who run multiple game versions, this matters. A launcher that tracks which client you are launching and updates the right copy of the addon removes an entire category of "why is my addon broken" moments before raid night.
Who Should Use It
Raid leaders and assistants get the most value, since the close and pull buttons are gated behind those roles. That said, any raider benefits from seeing a clear status window instead of parsing chat. If you have ever stood around waiting for one person who never clicked ready, this addon was made for you.
It is also worth noting that the addon was created with AI to solve a specific personal raiding problem. That origin shows in its focus. There is no bloat, no unnecessary configuration maze, and no attempt to replace your entire UI. It does one job and does it where you are already looking.
Final Thoughts
Ready Check Popup is the kind of small quality-of-life addon that quietly saves minutes every raid night. It removes the guesswork from ready checks, surfaces the names that matter, and gives leaders the tools to close the window and pull without extra clicks. Download Ready Check Popup, drop it into your addons folder or install it through the foxygame.net launcher, and stop losing pulls to players who never clicked ready.
