WOW Addons Updater

World of Warcraft is an online roleplaying game by Blizzard. It is without doubt one of the most popular roleplaying games with 12 million subscribers. A great feature of the World of Warcraft game is its extensibility. Users can install so called WOW addons which work very similar to other addon based programs like Firefox or Thunderbird.

WOW Addons extend the functionality of the game by displaying new information, functions or visuals. One problem that World of Warcraft players run into regularly is that addons will stop working after game updates.

The options for non working WOW addons are to disable them for the time being or to search for an update on the Internet. This has become a lot easier with the World of Warcraft Updating System.

The WOW Addons updater will automatically scan the World of Warcraft installation. The software will then query a database and check the version of each installed addon with the version on the server. It will furthermore download and install all newer addons automatically.

The software can also be used to backup and restore WOW addons easily.

    Nice post.

    But: Where can I get this – and why is there no link to the “WoWus”? Who is the author of this program? And whose database does the program query? The program author’s, or does it as well include wowui or curse db?
