The prank was awesome, and in the spirit of 1st of April. :)

Made me feel a bit nostalgic, though, listening to that modem sound.

Thanks for the "VERY" funny prank (NOTE THE SARCASM). You wasted my time. Hope that makes you happy. You're idea of a "Funny" prank makes me wonder about your mental health. I'd see a doctor if I were you. Clearly, your suffering from some kind of illness. I might have thought it was a joke if the Confiker worm wasn't scheduled to come out at the same time as your lame joke.

You *did* scare the crap out of me. However, all I must say is: well played sir, well played.

Thanks for continuing to make such a great addon. To hell with those who can't take a joke. :)

I don't care about an apology. Just fix the damn thing. Or at least turn it down. For those of us who wear headphones, you are killing our ears.

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 effect 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 a storyline for it which I posted on WIMAddon.com.

I did find humor in it as I remember the days of listening to the modem connect and taking forever. Time have changed.

There's a difference between a workaround and a fix. Also, this workaround doesn't fix the stormtrooper icon issue.

Joke or no joke, this sound file sucks. What's funny is I was sorting thru my addons to find which dumbass put this sound file in and WIM was the least of which I expected. Talk about a rep check....I'll move onto other messaging addons thanks.

If you would like to use WIM for the rest of today in peace, *manually* download and install v3 3.0.8. Then go into Curse Client (if you use it), right-click on WIM and select "Toggle Ignored" so that WIM won't automatically update to the foolish version.

Note: Versions 3.06 through 3.08 contains an earlier version of the joke, which is only enabled if you reload your user interface form inside the game. If you are an ACP junkie like me, then you may be happier with version 3.0.5b today.

Well, I was almost sure that it was a 1st of April joke from WIM or Blizzard, but what scared me most was the fact that it removes your account name from the login screen and uncheck the “remember account name” check box, cause usually this is a sign of keylogger.

I know that they're fixed. Still that joke was a third time I had to browse web trying to find answer to a problem with the same addon. And that made me sad.
