Azeroth Instant Messenger

Remember sitting at the family computer, waiting for the door creak that meant your friends were online? Azeroth Instant Messenger brings that feeling to Azeroth. Whispers open in their own retro instant-messenger windows instead of scrolling past in chat.

IM windows

• Every conversation gets its own tab in one IM window, so you never end up with 20 windows open
• Each tab shows who you're talking to: name, class and level
• Timestamps and red/blue screen names
• Rich text: *bold*, _italic_, ~underline~, text sizes, colors and 10 smileys. Formatting shows in full for buddies who also run the addon.
• Shift-click items into the message box to link them
• "<Name> is typing..." between users of the addon

Buddy List

• Groups for Buddies, Battle.net, Guild and Offline
• People actually playing are sorted to the top, Battle.net favorites first, and away or offline people further down
• Buddies who just signed on or off are highlighted
• Profiles: write a short profile that your buddies can read with Info

Sounds

• Original sound-alikes for incoming and outgoing IMs, buddies signing on and off (door open and close), going away and coming back
• Use your own sound files if you prefer

Away messages

• Saved away messages with %n (name), %d (date) and %t (time)
• One automatic reply per buddy

Popups and filters

• Choose when windows pop up and sounds play: combat, dungeons, PvP, resting or out in the world
• Hide IM windows during combat. IMs that arrive in combat wait until it ends. The addon never steals keyboard focus, so it's safe for Hardcore.
• Spam filter for gold sellers who whisper you as strangers
• Mute list
• Works with chat filter addons such as OlympusMute: anyone they hide never opens a window

Keybindings: reply to last IM, hide/show all windows, toggle Buddy List, toggle away.

Commands: /aim opens Setup, /aim list toggles the Buddy List, /aim help lists everything.
