Forum:Wowpedia and Xfire in-game browsing!

Take Wowpedia wiki in-game!

Fresh from a partnership with Xfire, we are proud to announce that Wowpedia will serve as the default homepage on the in-game web browser for Xfire while playing WoW. That’s right, no more alt-tabbing, throw away your second monitor, close your laptop, put your pants back on... er, you get the picture. Check out Xfire's browser page for more details.

Been living in a cave and haven’t heard of ‘em? Xfire is the number #1 gaming application for PC gamers. In under 6MB, Xfire enhances a users gaming through in game chat, stat tracking and guild hosting. Xfire also allows users to live broadcast their gameplay, capture and upload in-game video and screenshots. Recently Xfire also went live with Pro Voice, which provides free server-hosted voice chat accessible in and out of game. So having Xfire with you in-game is pretty much like having MacGyver in your guild.

You may also notice the screenshot (right) shows Portal:Mobile - this is a new portal designed specifically for low powered devices.

 * I don't get it. Do you mean Wowpedia will be the default homepage for people using the Xfire browser? Spectro87 (talk) 01:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Basically yup :) (Steam can provide similar overlay functionality, but it's not as advanced) 17:22, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
