The information has always been on my portal page, but I guess I can make it a little more prominent.

Originally Posted by Blu_Haze Since the first month of the original world of warcraft launch, I've used the Cosmos UI compilation. At first I didn't think it'd be that great, but I was blown away by all of the incredible features it provided. There were things in that UI that I didn't believe the game was even capable of. I believed the built in census tools, minigames, extra bars, dozens of little minimap buttons, and the fact that the UI could communicate with other people who had the UI as well so you could identify them was just incredible. I used to tell everyone I could about it and convince them that their lives would forever be better if they used the UI as well, to the point that you would've thought I was preaching religion to the heathen non-believers. And then a few months down the road I realized that I really didn't need all of those features, and that it was all dramatically slowing the game down with the bloat as time went on and more things were added. Towards a certain point it got so bad that I literally swore off of using compilations built by other people, and went in search of individual mods that I could swap in and out to my hearts content. Unfortunately I became a little obsessive compulsive about it, and often found myself spending more time finding and configuring new mods than I did actually playing the game. I remember times when after nearly every patch I would spend the entire day, sometimes even multiple days browsing websites like curse-gaming looking for updated versions of the mods I use, new mods to try, and then configuring them all before I was ready to play the actual game. Then I would spend the next week or so checking back for updates to mods I hadn't found yet. It got a little easier nearly a year later when I started using Mondingas Gypsy Mod. This not only took care of the hotbars, unit frame, and buff frame in one small and efficient package, but it also introduced me to the minimalistic approach and convinced me that I didn't need 130 individual mods to get the job done. I was pretty satisfied with Gypsy and around a dozen individual mods until I happened across the original MazzleUI thread on the official forums. I was instantly captured by the screenshot I had seen of it in action. At first I was a little wary of trying it since I no longer wanted anything to do with big and complicated compilations, but I couldn't get it out of my head. I quietly watched it for well over a year hoping that it would be released soon. Mostly I believed that I would try it out for a few minutes as I did the Insomniax compilation, (which wasn't easy for me, as I've been a fan of Insomniax mods ever since the original Starsiege Tribes game back in the late 90's) and then dismiss it as nice, but bloated and full of things I didn't need. Unfortunately for me though, I was surprised to see an actual public release posted on the wowinterface.com thread dedicated to it. I immediately downloaded it, installed, and was impressed with the mazzifier. At first I was a little overwhelmed by it all, and wasn't sure if this was the right UI for me after all, but it quickly grew on me. I realized that unlike the previous compilations I had tried, this one was built with speed, efficiency, and elegance in mind. Although MazzleUI comes with over 150 mods I realized that none of them were really frivolous and that they all played a beneficial role to different classes and types of players. Not only that, but I was very impressed to see that they could all easily be disabled depending on what style of player you are, and what class you play. Plus they could be disabled or enabled easily on the fly from inside the game without even having to log out and mess around with the files. Anyway, what I'm trying to say in this book I'm writing here is that you shouldn't allow the whiners to get you down Mazzle. One look at the official forums will tell you that this game is full of ignorant crybabies who can easily drown out the people who really do appreciate what's being done. In this day and age it's far too easy for people to hide behind their anonymity to fire off insults and let garbage spew out of their mouths that they wouldn't even dream of publicly saying in real life. This will all change though when I complete my invention that allows you to reach through the monitor, and slap the person on the other side. One of these days... If you decide to cease development on this project I couldn't really say I would blame you. Since the first day I had a computer of my own I've always been curious, which has led me to gaining experience in software engineering, light scripting, website development, hardware troubleshooting, 3D modeling, Graphic design, server administration, etc. What I'm trying to say is that I understand what it's like to invest countless hours into a project with little to no rewards other than personal satisfaction. It isn't always easy, and wanting to give it up to move on to other ambitions or even try out that thing they call "real life" is understandable. Just make sure you do it for personal reasons, like wanting more free time for yourself, pursuing other goals, lack of continual interest, etc. Rather than just because a few people who are barely competent enough to operate a keyboard, let alone being able to comprehend what it takes to complete something like this, choose to lash out their own self angst and ineptitude on an internet forum. Trust me, for every socially defective person who downloads this UI and chooses to prove their ignorance to the entire world, there are 10 more like me who silently enjoy the work you do, even though we should voice our appreciation a little more often.

yea, what he said.

Mazzui is the best ui out there hands down---

Donation on the way man


Is there any chance the ui will continue to work with 2.1?

[Detritus]

Awesome mod. I've been using it consistently for some months now and have found no problem with it that couldn't be resolved by reading the FAQ. I've become so dependant upon Mazzle that I'm now more than a little worried that an upcoming release will break it and no fix will be forthcoming. Mazzle is an outstanding achievement and enhances my WoW experience immeasurably. If I was on your server you would, without question, be getting a gold donation in the mail.

Thanks for the hard work putting this together. Hope the nay-sayers and whinger contingent don't dissuade you from supporting and improving the best WoW UI available.

[kanwer]

I've been using Mazzle since before BC and can't live without it. I totally agree with Blu_Haze's comments. Mazzle, you ROCK! Keep up the good work!

[Gelst of draka]

Seriously I couldnt imagine playing my toons without MAZZLE

It is absolutely amazing.

when Mazzle was down during the 2.0 patch a while back i serioulsy didnt play WOW till mazzle came back

The time and hard work you have put into this project is greatly appreciated by so many people in the WOW community

please keep up the hard work as i would be very bummed out if Mazzle was no longer being updated.

Thanks again!

[Toradol]

Hello,

I really like this UI. I sure do hope you continue to update and work on it.

Thanks Again,

Toradol

[Khameleon]

For each person that complained or hates mazzleUI, there are probably at least 10 that love it, but like people say the ones that love it are mostly silent. Only whiners like to be outspoken usually.

You should update this UI and continue to support it because we all(thousands of fans) love it, appreciate it and depend on you now that we are used to this UI lol.

Please don't abandon us

[rhylin]

I quit smoking crack by playing wow... I quit my addon obsession by trying mazzle...

I NEED MUH FIX!

[Zamian]

Just a look on the Number of downloads people use your UI. I have no problems donating to use your UI. you and many others have put time into making this a fantastic UI.

If you feel this is less than rewarding for you.. I suggest you charge a fee to use your product.
You can charge people a one time fee of say.. 20 bucks with unlimited updates.. or charge people 5 bucks and mebbe a buck for each update.

I do realize there are many children and teenagers who play this game who dont have access to credit cards.. Hence why the Game cards were invented ^.^ Just think if you recieved just .50 cents for the number of downloads of your product.. I am sure that would make you feel like your project will be full of Mazzledazzle then.

[archermoo]

Just wanted to add my $.02 in as well. MazzleUI is an amazing compilation, and a joy to use. Donation to follow...

[Geboran]

Mazzle,

I am a hard man to impress when it comes to finding a "complete" interface compilation for WoW that really makes this game so much more enjoyable to play.

Blizzard programmers and developers have a *LOT* to learn from you and your wonderful team regarding how to offer such robust features to their otherwise bland interface.

I am only one person amongst the masses, but I will iterate what many others have said:

MazzleUI is *THE* interface that I do not want to go without!

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! Truly!

*bows graciously*

[Rhonjura]

Well... I have watched this post for a long time now and after Mazzle's statement about how he didnt feel appreciated and that he wasnt getting enough... Money.... There has been page after page of post's and with people sending money your way. The only thing I am curious about is there has been no response from mazzle or his team saying if there will be a update.. And I think thats kinda important since this upcoming patch is bringing heavy changes to the UI world and will only cause more problems with mazzle then there already is. Dont get me wrong I love mazzle to death and wish I could still use it in raids but its just to outdated and to buggy... Please either push out a new release or please tell us if you are just taking the donations and dont plan on putting out another release.

[Ratheri]

You know, I was going to say something clever here, but it just sounded stupid.

[darko265]

i love the UI DON'T QUIT NOW PLEASEEEEEE

one more thing i find it funny that loads of ppl have it and yet no 1 at ALL on my realm does (hellfire) so i had a prob when i first got it and i couldn't open my bags :P i got it sorted now

[Tyrnal]

Mazzle,

I used to be the "author" of the Langend UI, the minute I stumbled on this UI all enthusiasm for Langend died. I was completely awe struck by the amount of effort that you put into this. The dedication of your testers to the long hours (months) of coding you must've gone through. There are those of us out there who have followed your mod from inception all the way until you discontinue it. We all thank you.

I've handed this mod over to many people, every single one of them has been amazed at how awesome it is. From it's elegant design, to ease of use and set up. Keep it up, we're all waiting for the next release... almost as adamantly as the SM3 release.

I agree, if you plan on putting out another release or regularly updating then let us know and I'll gladly donate.

[Mizer18]

I think you have quite a few fans Mazzle

Me inlcuded

[ComputerUser]

I love the idea of a self installing and configureable massive collection.

Unfortunately I'm one of those who can't read/see stuff after mazzled. SIGH

Anyways keep up the good work.
