Welcome to WIMAddon.com - The official home of WIM (WoW Instant Messenger)
WIM is a World of Warcraft addon which helps you to manage your whispers by making them into a classic instant messenger interface such as AIM, Yahoo and MSN.
With game play in mind, WIM has a large array of options where you can customize how WIM interacts during different situations, such as while you are in combat or in town talking to friends or selling your crafts. The WIM community and their suggestions are responsible for a large variety features that exist inside of WIM. With this in mind, the creation of this website seemed to be a viable solution to help keep the community growing.

I've been meaning to create a video for some time now. I finally got around to it.

I know it's a day late for the US community, but the patch came a week sooner than I had thought. Anyway, its up now.
WIM 3.1 has a new feature which everyone has been asking for for a long time now... CHAT SUPPORT. By default chat is disabled so if you want to use it, make sure you go into WIM's options (/wim) and enable what you want handled. You will also note that the options have been rearranged a little. This is because Whispers and Chat have their own option sets. For example, each have their own behavior rules, sounds, filters and history options. I tried to add as many options as I can conceive in order to have them function the way you'd want them to. Please note, although working, it is still lacking some features (such as intercept slash commands) and a few other which I did not have time to implement yet. I am expecting a lot of feedback on the chat functionality as it is new and we all know we can't please everyone in one shot. I hope you enjoy, below is the complete change log:
-Pazza Note: Some have reported problems downloading from the site. It would appear to be Firefox and it's cache. If you click to download and instead get WIM-3.0.10 then either clear your cache or try downloading with Internet Explorer. Sorry for the inconvenience. April 01, 2009, 10:39:46 PM by Pazza
Firstly, again, I apologize for any frustration yesterday's joke caused anyone. That wasn't my intention.
Moving on and back to business, here is the next WIM update. As you can see from the change log all joke related material has been removed from WiM. Also, as you can see this is mainly a bug fix release for the problems reported this past week. You wont be seeing any new features appearing in WIM 3.0 as I am preparing for a 3.1 release with the long awaited chat support. The concept is easy but the application isn't. I am trying to cover as much ground as I can while getting feedback from our testers and by using it myself, when I'm actually on. What's so difficult about chat? It's not difficult. Organizing the options for it is what is time consuming. Trying to make an intuitive set of options which appeal as as large of an audience as possible without making it convoluted. That there is the challenges I am confronting. Anyway, it is late and it's been a long day. Below is the change log for 3.0.10.

Quick reply regarding the April Fools Joke:
1. I am sorry if this scared the crap out of you. That wasn't my intention. I thought it would simply raise a brow and go "wtf?!". I guess that was my mistake. So if you want a formal apology. I'm sorry. 2. A quick way to stop the sounds which doesn't involve modifying code. Go into your addons directory and navigate to "WIM/Sounds" and delete the 2 files aping1.wav and aping2.mp3. You will no longer be bothered by Darth Vader and his crappy modem. 3. If you feel I betrayed your trust, don't. Or do for that matter. The choice is up to you. Whether you use WIM or not doesn't affect me. I don't get paid for the time I put into it. In fact, it costs me money. I've invested about $2,000 into it over the past 2 years in hosting to make it easily accessible for everyone. 4. It's April 1st everyone. I even wrote this storyline for it... StarWars Episode VII The Wrath of Dialup As the rebellion continues to strengthen after teaming up with both the Alliance and the Horde to help destroy the empire, Vader tries to sneak below radar by infiltrating Azeroth and tainting the minds of many World of Warcraft players. Unfortunately, Vader's plan is foiled! After being destroyed so many times, the Death Star is no longer equipped with broadband, so Vader's only option is DIALUP! Vader's determination leads him to continue his quest hoping that users will have their sound muted as to take over their Warcraft experience undetected! God... What a noob! Never Fear however, to help combat against Vader and his evil storm troopers, you might get lucky and have R2-D2 come to your aid! Good luck noobies round the world and may the force be with you!

This update applies many requests that people made in regards to the new Expose feature in WIM. The border which everyone hated so much is now disabled by default. I also added an option to select which direction the animation executes.
At last, and long requested, I was able to come up with a way for the windows not to close when the world map is shown or when you are zoning in an instance. You're message windows will no longer close and will be waiting for you where you left them for when you return. The update includes some other minor fixes which have been reported. In regards to the resizing issue people have been I having, I will focus my efforts on resolving them in the next version. Thank's for your patience, comments and reports. Below is the complete change log. Complete Change Log:
