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.

Every  Monday hopefully I’ll have updates to post. To start off, here are some changes:

• Added an old video Mallek made to start off the Youtube page. If you know what I’m talking about, expect epicness.
• Added Ventrilo and Website donation meters. Because of caching, may take 2-3 minutes for donations to fill meter.

Donations as always are welcomed but I would like to say a few things. Ventrilo server is a responsibility I am partaking but paying for it is something I am rarely able to do so donations for the past few months have been greatly welcomed! I added a website hosting donating meter as well if anyone feels comfortable helping me pay for the website. I allot funds towards the website guaranteed every month but any donation would help ease up the cost but don’t worry too much about it.

tl;dr … Ventrilo donations are very important, website donations are very very optional.
