    WoW Launcher PLUS
    Version: 0.3.1
    by: Bl4ckSh33p [More]
    WoW Launcher PLUS (WoWL+) is the successor of "WoW Manager". Its purpose is to replace the default WoW Launcher and give you some additional features.

    Now supports 32- and 64-Bit Live- and PTR-Clients!

    LOCALIZATION: I started to add support for localization and it should be added with one of the next updates. But I want to ask for your help to add more languages. If you like to help visit the "Localization" page, please.

    Current features:
    - View the latest News from the original Launcher or use a custom Homepage
    - Open your Guildpage with a single click
    - Create backups of your important WoW related files
    - Launch your favorite Voice Chat Application with a single click
    - Check the Status of your favorite WoW Realms from five regions
    - Delete cache files on startup (useful for addons which track rare mobs via cachefiles)
    - Launch WoW immediately after launching WoWL+
    Additional "Tools" in the Menu on top:
    - Visit popular WoW Websites (more to come!)
    - Launch the original Launcher and the Repair Tool

    Installation:
    Just download the .zip file and extract it into a new folder. To launch WoWL+ doubleclick on WoWL+.exe or create a new shortcut for it.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: WoWL+ does not change any WoW Files. It is a separate application.

    Updating from a previous version:
    Just unzip the new file in the same folder and overwrite all files. All settings (stored in "Settings.ini") should be preserved.

    Known Issues:
    - None

    Feedback, Suggestions and Bug Reports:
    - WoWL+ on Facebook (get the latest news and updates here)
    - Feedback Thread
    - Suggest a new Feature
    - Report a Bug

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Since AMS (the app I use to create WoWL+ and my other tools) is no longer available for free I need to get the full version to continue development. If you like WoWL+ or my other tools you can help me with a small donation via Pledgie. Every Donation is very much appreciated!

    Hello and Thanks. I noticed the same issue a few times and got the English (US) launcher content instead of the German one. I try to find a solution for this to fix it in an upcoming version. If it happens more often let me know, please.

    Do you mean the realms for the Realm Status feature?
    To select the realms just click on "Settings" in the menu on top and then select the region and realmname in the lower left.

    Okay guys, I just tried downloading this while logged out (so the fact that I'm an admin couldn't possibly have any impact on the ability to do so) and it worked absolutely fine for me. Could you both post what OS you are running, what web browsers you have tried to download it with, whether you are running any blocking plugins for your browsers (ala NoScript, AdBlock, etc), please? Put it in this thread please, so we can turn this back over to comments on the file itself, not problems with the site. Thanks.

    Strange, I use Google Chrome and downloading works fine for me.
    I sent a PM to one of the admins.

    Thumbs up WoW 64 Bit support coming with next update
    I believe the new 64 Bit WoW Client is the reason for this request. It will be added with the next update.

    is 64 bit really an issue here O_o
    The concept i am getting from this program is that it will be able to launch wow (or at least relavent wow launcher), Have links to websites, show server status, & deletion of a creature cache file.

    I don't really see why there would be a need for a 32bit & 64bit version of this program. IMO (as in 2 versions of the program)

    downloaded and installed and it a nice interface. Can't wait to see when i can auto delete that creature cache file and be able to set the watched realm to my own realm or be able to have a list of realms watched.

    Any hoot marked this as a favorite so i can keep an eye on it's progress. ^_^
