Exclamation Here we go again, more news from Blizzard...

For those of you who have not already heard the news, Blizzard has announced yet another change in their relationship to add-ons which, to a large extent, explains their recent guidelines for add-on development.

In a nutshell, there will now be an in-game add-on tool, the Blizzard Add-On Store, players can use to purchase mods on the fly and as needed.

It's good news and it's bad news... the good news is that nUI will now have a viable way to offer itself as a commercial software application, the bad news is that Blizzard takes 40% off the top for their own profit.

nUI has already been submitted for inclusion in the store as premium add-on... I'll let everyone know the status as we go forward.

For complete details, or to comment, please see http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=21585

For a screenshot of the new add-on store in action, please see http://s.wowinterface.com/storage/ne...ddOn-Store.jpg

Spiel you are almost there. Blizzard ingame store. Cool.

Spiel,

A blessing in disguise. Every Wow player will be able to see and buy you ingame mod Nui.

There are millions of players who don't know about it...

I hope this is a April fools joke. I have no problem donating to mods that I like but this would be a kick in the you know whats. So I can't say how I really feel about this yet, guess I'll have to wait and see how much my monthly WoW bill goes up

But If it is a joke ahhh good one you got me
