In order to encourage a strong role-playing community it would be great if we could standardize the AddOns that we use to facilitate role-play on Turtle WoW!
Both of the following AddOns work in the 1.12.1 vanilla WoW client and using them can greatly enhance your role-playing experience.

AddOn Installation Tutorial
In order to install AddOns you first need to navigate to your World of Warcraft directory.
Your World of Warcraft folder should look something like this:
Locate your Interface folder.
The inside of your interface folder should look like this:
Open the AddOns folder. It will currently only contain the default Blizzard AddOns. Keep this folder open.
We are going to need it later.
If you haven't downloaded the AddOns listed above you will need to download them for the next step.
When you download the AddOns they will arrive as a zipped folder.
In order to get them to work in WoW first we need to unzip them.
Right-click MyRolePlay and select Extract All...
You could extract them directly to your World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns directory but there is a small problem with this method (it will create an unnecessary folder that will prevent the AddOn from working).
Instead, extract them to the default path. You should now have two MyRolePlay_v2.2.2 folders.
Open the unzipped folder. You can tell that it is unzipped because it will no longer have a zipper on the icon.
The inside of your MyRolePlay folder will look like this:
In order to get the AddOn to work we are going to need to copy and paste it. My preferred method is to cut and paste.
Right-click on your MyRolePlay folder. Cut or copy based on personal preference.
Now you need to navigate to your World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns folder.
You should have kept this folder open from earlier in the tutorial.
It should look something like this:
Paste your MyRolePlay folder into your World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns directory.
Repeat this process for the Outfitter AddOn. It will make switching equipment for role-playing a lot easier.
Your AddOns folder should now look like this:
We're almost done. The AddOns should now be in the right format and location for WoW to read them.
Next we'll need to launch the game. Navigate back to your World of Warcraft folder and launch WoW.exe
Log into your account. The final step awaits us on the Character Selection screen.
There should be a new button in the bottom-left corner.
Click the AddOns button.
Make sure Load Out of Date AddOns is checked for good measure.
Any AddOn with a checkmark next to it will load when you log into a character.
Verify that both MyRolePlay and Outfitter have a golden checkmark next to them and click "Okay".
You are now ready to Enter World and start Role-Playing!
I will cover how to use MyRolePlay and Outfitter in a future tutorial.
Slowly turtling my way up.
