Curse Acquires MMO-Champion.com!

We're proud to announce our recent acquisition of MMO-Champion from Major League Gaming, and a new member, current head honcho of MMO-Champion, Boubouille to our close-knit team!

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. MMO-Champion attracts 7 million unique visitors and more than 80 million page views per month making 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.

    This makes me mad to no end. A thief steals information releases it publicly, and then reaps in the reward. Using brand recognition to cash in and wash his hands of it.

    yeah I know MLG operated the site and it was a business transaction, however this is not a robin hood scenario.

    tbh not alot will change, refreshed site deisgn and more stability, Boubouille is a WoW reporter and will continue to bring us the news as it happens just like always, and if curse try to restrict him im sure he could set his own site up and haul the clan with him : ) so news wont change,

    as for data mining, its how we get the clues of whats coming and start to try to put them together, if you dont like data mining, then why visit a wow info site? if stuff is already released simply visit the offical wow site or read patch notes : )

    hes hardly a thief, hes a reporter : ) and a damn good one

    Wow... Not very happy! MMO Champion has been a great site unlike curse. Curse is cluttered because it tries to accomplish everything... this is not going to happen. If curse decides to make a dedicated World of Warcraft site without all the spam of lego mmos and other nonsense then maybe there user base will grow. The only thing I like about the curse site is the application and the add-on database.

    We are very excited to hear more about the changes coming to MMO-Champion. BB's content certainly deserve a better designed website. *wink*

    I wouldn't like it if they would stop data-mining...
    I just like to see new things before they happen ingame, and I think I would stop reading MMO-Champ, if they drop all the "forbidden" stuff (data-mining, leaks, etc...)

    @Emkay443

    There's a reason why Blizzard doesn't release the info that ends up getting data-mined before it's released, it's just not ready yet. Why show off something that isn't ready for our feedback and that could possibly be completely different or not even happen?

    @Megamanx266

    Why not ?
    It doesn't hurt anyone to leak infos about a game.
    Furthermore, those are not exactly leaks, since all the data usually comes from the client, which is public anyway.

    I think this is an excellent move, especially now that Zam has acquired WoWInterface. There's an excellent opportunity here as well - Curse can use their resources (Curse Client) to pull a rich data set from the game via users, and MMO Champion can make use of their existing DB structure and large user base to offer a more reliable Wowhead/Thottbot/Allakhazam service, which can be shared between the sites. There's potential here to not only take on Zam, but to far surpass them too.

    Both sites are doing what they do best, so combining their resources can only be a good thing.

    " If curse decides to make a dedicated World of Warcraft site without all the spam of lego mmos and other nonsense then maybe there user base will grow."

    Each game hosted on curse has their own dedicated sections. Perhaps you should take a closer look at that large orange menu at the top, for example. The 4th button which is clearly marked "WoW Addons" takes you to the WoW addons section. Above the orange bar you'll even find "Select a portal" with a dropdown to choose a game. If this is not enough to appease you, I'm afraid no one can help you then.

    If you consider the news banner at the top of the main page as "spam", then I'm afraid you need to disconnect your internet as all gaming/news sites have banners with the latest news.

    " this is not going to happen"
    It already has, as indicated by the news.
