[Future req] Show/Hide news on login screen (start screen)

[shikulja]

The news section usually does not work on private servers. And it just distracts every time you start the game.

Solution
block via hosts or patch exe
127.0.0.1 launcher.worldofwarcraft.com
127.0.0.1 status.wow-europe.com
127.0.0.1 launcher.worldofwarcraft.co.kr
127.0.0.1 launcher.battlenet.com.cn
127.0.0.1 launcher.wowtaiwan.com.tw

• the downside may be that the entire domain is added to the hosts

another solution, change UI, gluexml to hide news, seems more complicated, and may break compatibility with other modifications
I couldn't find the address in the exe to change it. Perhaps it will be possible to change only gluexml as a modification
