The user interface options in WoW are many, and thanks to Blizzard quite flexible. In fact WoW probably has the most customizable interface of any of the MMO’s. This is one of the great strengths of the game I believe. The interface is very important but often over looked for things more easily shown off like fancy eye candy.

Take this screen shot I start you off with here. I use nearly no component of the standard Blizzard UI. My UI is a finely tuned machine and I will share with you each piece, explain why I use it and why you might want to as well, I’ll also provide you links on where to get.

I’ll start off here with a list as to what I’m using then I’ll break each one out into its own page with screen shots and larger descriptions.

So is all this necessary? Probably not, plenty of people even play with the Blizzard UI. My question to them would be why? Blizzard gave us the ability to have all this because they knew it would enhance our game play. Giving talented developers like cknight the ability to make the game that much more fun and interesting for the rest of us!

I’ll be highlighting each mod, giving screenshots, links to download and more detail about how and why I use it.
