WoW Classic TBC: How To Change Nameplate Distance


Blizzard has announced a fix for nameplate distance issues that was present all throughout Classic, improving the range nameplates appear from 20 yards to a maximum of 41 yards.

In the first few months of classic, a script was going around that allowed players to increase the distance nameplates would be active, but was removed from the game.

Players have been asking for a fix and Blizzard has confirmed that the script will be working in The Burning Crusade Classic.

It looks like in the original code, the original development team intended to create a checkbox that toggled nameplate distance between 20 and 41 yards, but ran into a technical limitation. In an upcoming build of the Burning Crusade Classic Beta, you can set the nameplate distance between 0 and 41 yards. Community Manager Kaivax Said in a forum post.

To run the script players will need to paste it into their chatbox.

/script C_CVar.SetCVar(“nameplateMaxDistance”, 41)
