I got home at 3:45 this morning and logged in here like usual, and my mood crashed through the floor. I was ready to cancel my account immediately and to send Blizz a very nasty e-mail or twenty... Thank god Cairenn saw my post and pm'ed me almost immediately. She gently let me off the hook by telling me to look at the date... WHEW! Thanks, Cairenn.. You saved my bacon, there... Even though you guys were kinda the ones that almost threw it in the fire in the first place lol. In hindsight, I probably should've looked at the screenie of the "addon store interface" a little closer. I was sooo ready to be completely outraged at Blizz after all the talk and speculation over the new addon guidelines that's been going on lately. The WoWI team really found a way to put the whole thing into a new perspective for us all I think. Thanks, ladies and gentlemen of WoWI! I owe you! <Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. Say no more.>

Here's how you know this isn't real, regardless of the date; You're able to download addons as well as make a transaction with legal tender while in-game.

All these addon authors and you all missed out on the fact that what this says it can do isn't even possible.

Probably the best April Fool's joke today, but easily debunked.

It's Blizz's game, of course it's possible. Addons cannot connect to the internet. Obviously the WoWClient itself can, or this whole thing wouldn't work. It would actually be fairly simple for blizz to design and interface like this, download the files, and reload the UI.

I'm more amused by the number of people who fell for it, but didn't make the joke itself any less AWESOME. Even my woman was all "WTF??"

you people are evil. evil incarnate. you should not have gone for the jugular. you should have just helped blizzard with their dance arena system, or something.

my head literally did explode. its taken the whole rest of the day to get the pieces collected and the walls washed and etc.

Damnit lol

Damn you guys. You got me real good My housemates nearly kicked me out and had to buy me smokes (i was in the process of quitting) and a bottle of bourbon to calm me down and i was swearing and pacing and saying very nasty things about Blizzard

I really thought this site was done for and was in the process of downloading the WAR trial client in preparation of canceling my WoW account.

I totally forgot about April Fools (US is a day behind Aus).

Very well played and Scott, not nice playing along

Just glad WoWI is here to stay. (You are EVIL Cairenn lol)

2 reasons its not gonna happen...

1. blizzard made clear rules about addons... in those rules they stated that addons will ALLWAYS be free
2. they just happened to post this along with dance battle system, and rp quotes on all messages on the wow forums on april 1st

stop freaking and wait a week for real news

Exclamation fake

fairly certain this is an april fools joke because its inconsistent with Curse.com, however, very well done, seriously had me going with those other posts talking about "the end of WoWInterface", would miss this site too much.
