The World of Warcraft Realm Status Tool is a free Firefox extension that lets users check the status of realms in World of Warcraft within the browser. The extension is accessible through the Firefox Tools menu and lets you view current information about all realms on WoW, like which ones are up or not, the type of realm (RP,PVP,Normal), and their population size. It can also be set up to track an individual realm and alert you if the status changes. It is written and maintained by Kurt Wilms. You can download the latest version of the extension from the download page on Mozilla's website.
The latest version is BETA 0.25.
