How to Disable the Wow Character Status Bar
World of Warcraft, or WoW to aficionados, is one of the most popular video games with over 10 million players worldwide. Unlike old-fashioned video games with only one player, WoW is experienced online with thousands of people playing together at the same time. The user interface in WoW provides multiple data outputs which can be confusing at times. One solution is to disable the standard character status bars. Once disabled, you will have a less-cluttered screen while playing. Enabling and disabling status bars are easy once you familiarize yourself with the game's interface toggles.
