1) Bandit Chat - chat aliases, list of last 6 - 100 peeps who I've talked to.
2) Speaker - kept a list of canned speech, global across characters, so damn handy.
3) SortIt! - my most used plugin, source of my love/hate relationship with Gouru - equipping items & suits, sorting, and moving items to side packs. What ACArm used to do.
4) RoboChef - THE crafter plugin imho. Using the chest was a brilliant idea. If only it self-buffed.
5) Tinker Calc - Should be re-named Peace of Mind. Great plugin, esp. in it's later forms, where it would search all packs for salvage and sort by work. Made it very easy to tink safely. Only thing missing was showing the odds with and without brill (before you were actually brilled) - that would be handy.
6) Bandit Sight - no explanation needed here. I would almost rather play with BS/2 profiles than play AC - the game feels hollow without it.
7) Nerfus Buffus - Best self/other buffing plugin ever. Why? Easily user-configurable profiles. I really hope we see this one again.
8) Quest Timer - Updated and working well. Needs a way to track the new drop / raise timers - not an easy task.
9) House Keeper - Not used much, but when you buy a house, a must-have to setup access for other characters.
10) Combater - SO useful! Where do I start - shows XP of kill, kills to level, SPLITS PEAS (yes some of us still use and enjoy old comps) and much more.
11) DHS - a handy utility, included in Decal now.
12) Idler - Keeps you logged in. With ToD, if you are alt-tabbed, and your character logs out, you get a nasty crash. Wish we had this updated for Alpha 5.
13) Mana Mystique - Burns a mana charge when something is about to expire. Simple and very handy.
14) One Touch Healing - now called Healer, worked with Alpha 3, hopefully it gets updated - the only alternative to this is using up 2 hotkey slots and healing the old-school way. Much nicer to just hit 'H'.
15) Spellbar Saver - MAN do I miss this one! Kept your spellbar configs, allowed you to change them by level - a real timesaver as you level up with a mage, or want to set up spellbars the same on several characters.
16) Target Info - Woot! it's back! Try imperiling a group of critters without this one. Unless you like debuffing half the critters 3 times and the other half not at all, heh.
17) UST - All bow down to the developer of UST and pay homage, sacrifice somebody so we can have this back - UST..UST...
18) StartMeUp - Ran a list of chat commands at startup - I used it to sync my friend and squelch lists.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Since ToD and the new Decal, I have discovered El Tank and found that it does what a bunch of these plugins do. But, I still like to hunt without it on, because it's too tempting to turn it on for combat...I try to use El Tracking for a BS/2 replacement but it seems to lag me down. Also, there is a new plugin called Virindi Chat System that allows you to manipulate your chat and run a limited set of commands based on chat events. I love VCS. I've found that an ACTool macro will do what StartMeUp used to do. But still I miss my old set of plugins. Hopefully we will see the old ones updated or the functionality included in new plugins.
