Wowstagram

Instagram for your WoW character. Put yourself in the picture, change the outfit, strike a pose, add a filter and share it with your realm, or only with your guild. Everyone with Wowstagram sees it in their feed, and can like it and comment on it.

Type /wgram to open it, or click the camera on your minimap. Works on Retail and WoW Forever.

• Stories along the top, Suggested for you on the right, and a profile grid, all in a dark, clean page inside a WoW window. One click for fullscreen.

How does it work?

A picture isn't an image. It's a tiny note saying which appearances are worn, the pose, the background and the filter. Every player's game draws it again in 3D, so pictures cost almost nothing to send.

WoW can only dress a real player it can see, so a stranger's picture uses the best body available, and a small badge says which:

• Their own body, when your game can see them (target, group, nameplates...).
• Stand-in: their exact outfit, on a body of their gender turned into their race (the same trick as the in-game Shop's previews).
• Look-alike: someone of their race and gender in the same kind of armour, with their real helm, shoulders, cloak and weapons.

Also

• Try it alone: type /wgram demo for made-up people who post, like and comment on your pictures.
• Built not to lag a busy realm: only a few players answer each login, and every sender is rate-limited.
• Only you can edit or delete your pictures and comments.
• Settings: window size, sounds on or off, a chat line for likes and comments, the minimap button, sharing on or off.
