World Of Warcraft Addons

Are you an avid World of Warcraft gamer? World of Warcraft is a massive mulitple online role playing game (MMORPG) that has made its mark in the MMO community by creating quality new content regularly, advertising fiercely, and pandering to the public needs and wishes. This pandering to the public and their wishes is where the use of World of Warcraft addons comes in to play, and as of March 2012, there are over 4938 addons available on Curse Client alone.

Every gamer has wished at some point that they could change the screen layout or add a new simple function. Gamers are major critics of the ways that the developers have set up the basic functions and user interface (UI). World of Warcraft developers realized this and allowed the ability for its users to edit everything from the screen layout, to automate certain functions, or even change the art and design of various aspects like the health/mana/rage meter or perhaps the minimap. Many MMO's have options to do this but very few allow, accept, and encourage this like the World of Warcraft staffers. This was a good move and leaves you plenty of options.

Once you have your World of Warcraft client installed it would be best if you played the game as it is before you start trying to adapt the functions. After getting the hang of the game you will start wishing certain things were a little different. This is when you want to start using addons. You have the option to add them one at a time with sites like wow interface or Curse Client, but the process can be complicated. If you use the Curse Client it will add and manage all of your World of Warcraft addons for you, thus making the complication factor go away. It will even update them automatically as new versions of the World of Warcraft addons become available.

This is particularly important when the game has its regular updates. Often times a game wide update can damage or break the function of an addon, but with the Curse Client you can be sure that it will be back up and running in no time. With the Curse Client you can add these functions one at a time or in a bundle if you are a premium member, though it is often best to add them one at a time so that you know where the problem is if something does not work right. Adding them one at a time will help you pinpoint which was the quirky addon. Some addons will not work with other addons, but if that process worries you there are plenty of bundled addons that are gathered and guaranteed to work well together such as Manaview’s Suite which are also available for purchase separately.

World of Warcraft is a great game and the ability to adapt the UI in unique ways makes it so much better. This process can be daunting at first, but World of Warcraft chose wisely by making it legal within their Terms of Service or policies thus making it easy for individuals to share their World of Warcraft addons with each other. You can make the most of this benefit with a quick download of the Curse Client and peruse through all the World of Warcraft addons that you could use to improve your game. I have a detailed list of WoW addons that I believe everyone should have, and some that I know many guilds require. Once you have a few loaded up, you will begin to see how powerful these things can be and you may never play without them again.

Reminder: always check how your game reacts after each addon is loaded for any problems in the game, this is necessary in order to be able to tell which of your addons is causing the problem.
