The beginning of March started a whole new World of Warcraft problem for many gamers who do not use WoW Matrix. One by one slow play began to take effect because the usual Carbonite Quest Helper that everyone used was now obsolete. So do you keep playing trying to reach your destinations in the dark? Probably not. In fact, if you made it here you are most likely looking for a solution to this madness.
Well, if you read the message you've seen 100 times on your WoW screen you could head to www.carboniteaddon.com to download the new version. Unfortunately, this will cost you anywhere from $4.99 a month, to $14.99 that lasts the entire year. While this may be fine with some of you, the alternative is getting it free by using the WoW Matrix software. One thing you need to understand though is that you won't be getting the new version of Carbonite Quest Helper.
You most likely didn't want to hear that, but WoW Matrix will help you get going again. The only difference is you will be using the previous version of Carbonite Quest Helper (2.02). This is a simple download with a small amount of work on your part. Luckily we're going to give you the step-by-step so you can do this in a timely fashion and start getting back to those quests you've been longing to complete.
The Benefits of WoW Matrix
Even though you will be initially using this to gain access to the Carbonite Quest Helper for free, there are many other benefits to the WoW Matrix. Once downloaded you will be able to update any type of addon you have on your World of Warcraft account. See, this setup will save a substantial amount of time having to keep track of all your addons. Instead it will load, check all addons for updates, and after you click update it will install the new versions all at once.
How to Download WoW Matrix
The download itself is automatic from their site, but the rest of it can be difficult to remember. When you get to the WoW Matrix website, you need to find the download that is compatible with your computer. There are three choices in all and you won't miss it since the Linux version has a picture of a penguin. A box will come up and the only step you need to take is to click on the RUN button.
Once everything is finished you will need to extract all the files. Doing this manually is a pain in the wazoo, but if you click "My Computer/Local Disk C:/Program Files/World of Warcraft (the file)/Interface/Addons, then it will go into the appropriate area. If you are logged into your account, make sure you exit out and wait a few minutes. In the beginning you may notice it not working how you would expect it to, but after a short while it gets back to normal.
You Make the Call
Keep in mind you can still pay the money to get the updated version. This is just an easy way to still enjoy your World of Warcraft gaming without paying a penny for something you were already playing for free. Hopefully this helps many of you and if you thought this was useful, don't go anywhere. We will have hundreds of helpful hints to give you an extra edge over your game. Just thank us later, but for now go get your WoW Matrix and take back that Carbonite Quest Helper.
