Forever Journey

Forever Journey is a personal character journal for World of Warcraft: Forever.

Instead of being another statistics dashboard, Forever Journey records the story of your character: places discovered, levels reached, quests completed, professions developed, deaths encountered, personal memories, and other meaningful moments along the way.

Features

Overview

A compact summary of your current journey:

• Character portrait, race, class, and level
• Total played time
• Completed quests
• Current money
• Recorded deaths
• Total recorded events
• Chronicle start date
• Recent journey events

Chronicle

A chronological journal of recorded events.

Events are grouped by date and can include:

• Level ups
• New zone discoveries
• Dungeon and instance entries
• Deaths
• Quest milestones
• Learned professions
• Profession skill milestones
• Manual memories created by the player

Chronicle also supports:

• Favorite stars on memories
• Editing and deleting manual memories
• Multi-select filtering by event type
• Favorites-only filtering
• Combining Favorites with one or more event-type filters

Manual Memories

You can add your own memories directly from the Chronicle.

A manual memory contains:

• A title
• An optional note
• The current date and time
• The current location

Manual memories can be edited or deleted later. Automatic journey events remain read-only.

Favorites

Any Chronicle memory can be marked as a favorite.

Favorite state is persistent and is used by:

• The Favorites-only Chronicle filter
• The Memorable Moments section in History

History

A retrospective view of your character's journey.

Depending on when Forever Journey was installed, History can contain:

• Recovered character state from before the journal started
• First recorded discoveries
• Level milestones
• Quest milestones
• Profession milestones
• Memorable Moments selected with favorite stars
• Journey summary

Recovered History

Forever Journey does not invent historical dates.

If the addon is installed on an existing character, it can recover information that is still available through the game API, such as:

• Current level
• Completed quest count
• Played time
• Money
• Professions

This information is displayed as a recovered snapshot rather than as fabricated historical events.

From the moment Forever Journey starts recording, new events are stored normally in the Chronicle.

If the addon is installed on a new character, the History begins naturally from the start without creating a recovered archive.

Quest Milestones

Forever Journey records quest milestones every 50 completed quests:

• 50
• 100
• 150
• 200
• and so on

Milestones that were already passed before the addon started recording are not recreated retroactively.

Profession Tracking

Forever Journey records:

• Newly learned professions
• Profession skill milestones every 75 skill points

Existing professions at the moment the journal starts are treated as part of the character baseline and do not generate fake historical events.

Death Memories

Deaths are recorded as part of your journey.

When the client exposes additional Death Recap information, Forever Journey can enrich a death memory with details such as:

• Killer
• Ability or spell
• Damage information
• Environmental cause

Supported environmental causes can include:

• Falling
• Drowning
• Fatigue
• Fire
• Lava
• Slime

Available detail depends on the information provided by the game client.

Minimap Launcher

Forever Journey adds a small journal launcher around the minimap.

• Left Click — open or close the journal
• Drag — move the launcher around the minimap

The launcher position is saved between sessions.

Slash Commands

Open or close the journal:

/fj open

Show available diagnostic commands:

/fj

Diagnostic commands are primarily intended for troubleshooting and development.

Saved Data

Forever Journey uses WoW SavedVariables.

Journey data:

• Persists between game sessions
• Is stored separately for each character
• Survives /reload
• Survives a full client restart

Manual memories and favorite state are stored together with the rest of the character's memories in schema v3.

Localization

Currently supported:

• English
• Russian

Beta Status

Forever Journey is currently in beta.

The current beta focuses on:

• Reliable journey recording
• Persistent character history
• Honest recovered history
• Core quest and profession milestones
• Manual journal memories
• Favorites and Memorable Moments
• Chronicle filtering and navigation
• A complete Overview / Chronicle / History journal experience

Known Limitations

• Exact chronology from before addon installation cannot be reconstructed when the game API does not expose it.
• Recovered History is therefore a snapshot, not a fabricated timeline.
• Quest milestones already passed before recording begins are not recreated retroactively.
• Existing professions are treated as baseline history.
• Profession milestone tracking begins after the profession baseline has been established.
• Detailed Death Recap information depends on client API availability.
• Previously recorded NPC names are preserved as historical data and may remain in the client language in which they were originally captured.

Feedback

Forever Journey is an early beta.

Bug reports, compatibility issues, and feedback about the journal experience are welcome.
