WoW Insider predicts widespread panic when patch 2.0 gets loose, as it will completely Y2K everyone’s addons.
As everyone begins to realize their addons are no longer functioning, they'll rush to Curse Gaming and WoWInterface. These sites, always sluggish on or around patch day, will all the worse for the complete failure of every addon that currently exists. Some addons will be abandoned by their authors, as the work to rewrite them would be too great. Others will be abandoned because the ability to make them functional will no longer exist. And yet others will simply take time to rewrite and not be immediately available.
What they mean is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
So what’s to be done? Insider suggests preemptively checking up on your favorite mods and seeing if the creators have made any plans, either for abandonment or early updates.
