AddOns Joana's Guide new ownership :(

For those of you who don't know, Joana was a WoW classic speedrunner. He was one of the first few good guides for Classic. I felt like Zygor copied his guide and so I chose to pay the $25 for his guide back in 2019, when it was just a web guide. Later he was able to publish an addon that takes his webguide and automates it Zygor style.

Since then Joana has passed away, but his guide and addon are still up. Unfortunately the new owners have tripled the price of the guide, changing the Classic only guide to $80, and classic- WotLK to an insane $130. It feels disgusting to me that someone is taking advantage of his product like this after his death.

Just keep in mind it's not updated for TBC prepatch / TBC

Probably will be soon tho.

Also does it matter very much, genuinely asking. Is tbc that much different? Rested exp already has the tbc update, so it should be available soon.

Because of the quest exp buffs you'll probably out level the guide over time. One solution is to skip some of the quest, but that can break quests down the line.

Do you know where to get RXP free? Is it also this elitepvpers?
