I just think it's much nicer to customise WoW rather than have a separate program. :) Good luck.

Steff:
But wow will not be able to manage this good.
The point is to manage different servers. And the nature of server creators is that they want own stuff. Means own login. So you will never bring them all together to mod the login for access of other servers.
But if there is an app taht many server support and the community push, the creatores need to create an entry for the launcher to bring more people to the server.

So there must be a app in front that give the player an easy way to play on different server.

Here is a sketch of what I mean. It should not win a design price.

Left is a list of all servers added to the launcher.
Right side shows banner and news of the selected server.
Bottom buttons are linked to the current selected server’s urls.
If the client needs updates the play button swaps to update.
Play set realm list, move out last patches, move in patches for the server and start wow.
Update opens up new window that downloads the new stuff and integrates in background to the patch.
You can update many servers the same time.
Servers that need updates are not playable.
So you can update 2 servers and play on the third.

An additional idea would be to add a search mode that connects via soap to a modcraft server and you can search for new servers there in a database.

Wow this concept looks really nice,
but I think the Create Account button should be a little bit transparent if you already have an account on this server.

And maybe (if it's possible, because of different account creation pages) a feature to set a default account and with one click create this default account on the selected server, if it's not possible or an error occurred it leads you to the normal account creation.
