Trivia Bot

Trivia Bot

Client Version: 4.3.4

Rating:

TriviaBot allows the user to host quiz games for other players.
Spamming it in /say in crowded places or /general is not a good idea,
but Blizzard’s spam prevention makes it alot harder to abuse it that way currently.

It’s a nice and safe pass-time among consenting adults. 🙂 
Used best in the custom channel, a party with friends or to liven up that “dead” guild chat.

Usage

  • /triviabot or /trivia to bring up it’s control panel.
  • then you can use the dropdowns to select among different Question Lists and Categories.
  • set the output and customize the announce intervals, reporting options etc.


Other Commands

  • /trivia help will list other commands.
  • !tb help whispered to a game host will list other whisper commands.


Quizzes
With version 2.8.0 and later 
TriviaBot no longer contains pre-packaged Quizzes with the main download!

  • Quizzes are instead coming in the form of separate Load on Demand addons called Quiz plugins.
  • This allows the game to load much faster since Question Lists are not loaded until the Quiz host selects them from the TriviaBot control panel.
  • Gives you the option to install only quiz themes and languages that interest you.
  • Allows the community to create and share quizzes without having to wait for the main addon to be repackaged.
