• Cosmos has its own website, and forums.

The usefulness of Cosmos after the 3.0 patch has dropped significantly. To quote from the cosmosui website:

I'm sorry to announce that Cosmos will not be surviving the WoW 3.0 patch with anything like it's former glory. As you probably noticed, development has slowed to a standstill and developers are hard to get ahold of.

Downloading and Installing Cosmos

1. Download Cosmos here.
2. Extract the chosen distribution zip into your World of Warcraft folder. You are now ready to play. This works for BOTH PCs and Macs.
   • NOTE: It's a common mistake to extract it in <World of Warcraft folder>/Interface/Addons. Be careful cause it won't work.
