    WoW Launcher PLUS  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: 0.3.1
    by: Bl4ckSh33p [More]

    Important Note: I am currently working on a completely new launcher for Warlords of Draenor and the first alpha should be available for testing soon.
    New Website (more details coming soon): http://wow.bl4cksh33p.de


    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!

    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

    Many features like deleting cache files for rare mob scanner-addons or creating backups of your settings are still missing in the Battle.net Launcher. If you still like WoW Launcher PLUS and want an updated version for Warlords of Draenor let me know, please. Just write a comment.

    Re: done?
    Hi. It's not "done" completely. But the new Blizzard Launcher is a nice piece of software.
    Maybe I can modify/add some things for Warlods of Draenor. Suggestions and feature requests are always welcome.

    My launcher can't access the WoW Update Servers but if you launch WoW and a patch is needed it will automatically start the download. So you won't miss it when you use WoWL+.

    Error from Blizzard Newspage
    Thanks for the report.
    The error is not from WoW Launcher PLUS itself. I have never heard of serving-sys or used it. It is caused by the Launcher Newspage from Blizzard.
    I can't fix it right now but I will take a look at it and try to fix it soon.

    Like this overall, especially for the creature cache nuking.
    ----- Glad you like it.
    Thank you for your suggestions! I did not have much time to work on it lately because I am moving to another town next month. But I will continue to work on it soon!

    Sadly, IndigoRose discontinued the free "Personal Edition" of the app I use to create WoWL+. I can't get the latest update with some bugfixes for the runtime until I mange to collect about 300 US$ / ~ 250€ to buy it.
