Hey all,

I just decided to try out Wrath of the Lich King a minute ago, and haven't logged in to WoW for over a year. All of my addons were obviously outdated so I tried running the wowaceupdater (1.9), it crashed, and I can't seem to find a newer version. Has it been discontinued?

TIA

k, thanks. Thank god there is still an updater though :)

You picked a good time to come back. It was a bit of a rough transition, as WAU was discontinued before the Curse Client was in good working condition. Now things are pretty smooth again.

WoWInterface.com has an new updater for the addon's they host. I just updates addons. Doesn't have any of the features that the curse client has.

Personally I don't see the need for an automatic updater at all.

Unless there is something specifically broken in your UI preventing you from playing you can afford not to update your addons for a while.

There's also a number of ways you can use to manually update your addons. No it doesn't take as long as people think. Takes me 15 - 20 minutes every 2 weeks , usaully on a maintenance night or if I'm bored on wow.

My commendations for not finding manual updating to be a horribly tedious and time-wasting procedure.

I like to use an updater to keep up with the latest alphas because I like to test them and provide feedback to authors who wish to hear about issues.

It's also a hell of a lot less work than downloading and unpacking a zip file and then moving it into the correct place, which gets REALLY tedious if you have to do it often or if you have to update too many addons at once.

Ironically, it was his statement of "to each their own" in another thread that prompted me to reply to the "I don't see why anyone would wan to be different from me" sentiment :p

It was more about arguing against the "an automatic updater program is THE ONLY way of updating your addon"

Yeah , HunterZ I still feel each person should have their own method of updating.

An automatic updater program suits you since you need to be downloading the latest build of every addon you use since you're going to be picking the code apart most likely.

It doesn't however suit me as I only ever update on maintence nights or when i'm having a problem with one of my addons. :cool:

There is absolutely no value in continuing this discussion. The original poster asked a question, and the question was answered. Everything else has been discussed into the ground a dozen times over, and there is nothing new to add to the discussion. Thread locked.
