I'm currently using the SBF packaged with realui which is 3.2 and i tried Zygor repair and reinstalled realui to no avail.

Everything worked fine yesterday. I installed Zygor 2644 and my buff frames went away. I unload Zygor and they come back. Also, it's been noted by several on wowinterface's realui forums that their buff frames disappeared when they upgraded Zygor to 2644. They unload Zygor and everything is back to normal.

SBF has yet to give me an issue with the guides. I would suggest there is a triangular effect going on with another addon being used.

I dont fly on airlines that charge baggage fees, I dont stay at hotels that charge resort fees & I will not switch to a software subscription service regardless of the price.

At a small subscription price the real benefactor will be the payment processor--not Zygor the developer. While a high subscription price could temporarily increase cash flow it may significantly decrease demand to the point that subscriber turnover could be an issue requiring more expenditures for marketing and less $$ available for development. Determining the price elasticity of a recreational guide could be a very tricky proposition.

I wish Zygor well in its endeavors.

Someone else had an issue with a bunch of LUA errors with the new update while most haven't. What fixed their problem, and just might work for you too, was to install the Ace3 libraries as a standalone addon.

Out of interest, what is stopping people just paying $5 whenever a large update is realeased? That sounds hugely cost effective for buyers.

I'm curious about this also. In its current form Zygor is simply a WoW addon. Once you have it, you can keep using it.

Without some way to remove the addon from your PC, I don't see how a subscription service would work. Zygor would need some way to remove access to the guide when customer's cancel their sub. As it stands they do not have the capability.

Presumably you won't get any bug fixes or updates if you don't subscribe. Remember that you need an active account to either download the latest guide or use the updater.

Yes, but with your usual subscription service (TV, mobile phone, internet)... once you stop paying, the service stops completely.

What motivation would any customer have to keep paying their Zygor subscription, when it is working for them as it is? As someone else posted, what is to stop customers subscribing for one month after a major update, then cancelling again?

[mzanker]

Well, there isn't apart from them being stuck with a particular version, along with that version's bugs, etc.

Most people are honest, though, and they want their guides to be bang up to date.

[zarpus]

Yeah, and plus, when there is a WOW patch, it will probably be broken again anyway.

We are implementing a solution that will not allow you to do that.
