Group Calendar

While this mod is not specifically for the Rogue class it does rock. I remember since the early days of raiding the guild event planning was done through some guild or 3rd party website. This addon allows you to manage upcoming raids and player events directly through the game. It syncs everyones data and the guild leader / officer does not need to be on for updates to get through.



It allows you to setup raids with role based signup. This is perfect for when you need DPS but don't really care who the hell is wacking the mob... just that they wack is hard... and wack is fast. lol.

Even if you dont have a guild just a group of friends that want to coordinate nights to run Kara and other instances this is a great mod. It can be configured so that any player can add an event from a 25 man raid to their birthday.

Heres a quick list of new features in Group Calendar 4 from the curse website:

  • FEATURE: New networking code designed for better reliability and scalability
  • FEATURE: Role-based signups for more flexibility in forming groups
  • FEATURE: You can now edit your own events and get tradeskill cooldown messages while on another realm or faction
  • FEATURE: Whisper-based UI allows players not running GC to view and sign up for events
  • FEATURE: Backups (both automatic and manual) of your event data to help recover if something goes wrong
  • FEATURE: Circled dates and times for events you're attending are now color-coded: yellow for pending, green for confirmed and blue for standby
  • FEATURE: Event templates remember up to the last five variations on an event type (you can schedule "Karazhan Alpha" and "Karazhan Beta" and it will remember your setting preferences for both)
  • FEATURE: /cal slash command added -- same as /calendar, just shorter, and /calendar still works too
  • FEATURE: /cal command now shows help by default (use "/cal show" to show the GUI)
  • FEATURE: New '/cal history numdays' command to set the number of days to keep events
  • FEATURE: History length is stored in the auto-config data so it can be set for the entire guild at once
  • FEATURE: MD5 hash protection to detect damaged event or attendance updates
  • FEATURE: Date and time settings are verified by comparing clocks with other users on the network
  • FEATURE: Players can now sign up for events as a standby
  • FEATURE: Event titles now auto-complete
  • FEATURE: Synch period is now two minutes long instead of five
  • FEATURE: Database version info in About tab now shows the total number of databases known
  • FEATURE: Event attendance list now shows separate totals for accepted and standby players
  • FEATURE: Dungeons with a 7 day reset cycle now only show the next reset instead of the next four
  • FEATURE: All localization files are UTF8 and all escape sequences have been replaced by their real characters
  • FEATURE: /cal reset now resets only the current character, with a new parameter of "realm" to reset the databases for the realm
  • FEATURE: Tradeskill reminder messages are smaller
  • FEATURE: Brilliant Glass added to tradeskill cooldown reminders
