Press Release
San Francisco, CA – July 19, 2010 – Curse, Inc. announced today the purchase of the #1 World of Warcraft news site, MMO-Champion.com. The site was bought from Major League Gaming for an undisclosed amount.

MMO-Champion is a natural fit for Curse which already possesses the largest repository of add-ons available for MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) games such as World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online and Runes of Magic as well as extremely popular forums for Runescape, Aion and Final Fantasy XIV. The World of Warcraft news site attracts 7 million unique visitors and more than 80 million page views per month (Google Analytics WW, June 2010). The combination makes Curse the #1 MMO destination online.

“The acquisition of MMO-Champion markedly sets Curse apart from the competition,” said Hubert Thieblot, CEO and Founder. “Not only does the addition solidify Curse as the largest MMO destination on the web, but it plays a central role in delivering a complete Curse MMO solution. Curse is now the ultimate resource for MMO news, forums, databases, and add-ons.”

Gamers and advertisers alike will benefit greatly from MMO-Champion’s purchase by Curse. In the next few months, visitors can expect an updated page design and improved user experience. To insure the site’s strong content offering will not be compromised, Fabien Bonte, the site’s founder and administrator, will be joining the Curse staff as a full-time employee. Advertisers can take advantage of Curse’s extended reach into the core MMO market, making MMO gamers easier to connect with than ever.

The guild has been doing a good job with the game and I welcome all the new recruits!

• If the website is offline for whatever reason, check out the twitter page for quick updates 24/7! @Tsikura
• The uploader is now open to everyone, all you have to do is activate by email. Will delete spammers ASAP
• The website as you all know has not been kept up-to-date (whoops) but I blame school and other boring stuff.

Hello Ladies and Gents! I present to you all, the new website template (yay!). It is not fully complete since there is still content that needs to be filled in. Pages like Charter, FAQ, Roster will go up shortly this week and the rest will follow slowly. For those that care, the media section of the site will most likely go up last in the next few weeks while I fix everything up. The Malygos video will be re-done to make it less shitty and our 3 drake Sartharion kill will come as well. As for other videos, they will compose of the new boss fights in Ulduar and they will only be available for heroic mode (for now).
