We're excited to announce that with the expansion of the Author Rewards Program, two new PayPal options are available on a trial basis in the CurseForge and WoWAce stores! Authors are now able to cash out at $100 and $150, respectively.

A lower cash incentive has been a long-requested feature, and over the next two months, we'll be testing these two payment amounts as a long-term option. Please feel free to give us feedback regarding these options, as we are always looking to better serve our authors!

With both Minecon and the brand new Minecraft features live in the Curse Client this weekend, Curse is offering a free Premium weekend to all of our users for the Curse Client!

Wanted to try out saved world sync, addon sync, one-click updating, or just wanted to see what the ad-free experience would look like? You'll have a chance to explore these and more for free until Monday, November 26th, at 9AM CST. Any worlds you sync during this time will be kept in our storage for a month, giving users plenty of time to consider purchasing a Premium subscription to continue taking advantage of its benefits!

Don't forget that plugin developers who uploads their plugin to our BukkitDev or CurseForge services and receive 1,000 or more downloads get a free Curse Premium subscription as thanks for your contribution to our community!

A quick overview of the brand new Minecraft features are as follows:

• World Saving: Each and every world you've made in Minecraft can be backed up through the Curse Client, with the ability to manage your backups through an easy to use interface. A "More Info" tab provides you with quick access to your health, level, the number of items in your inventory and gives you the ability to copy your world's seed for easy sharing at the click of a button.
• Quick Saving: Every world that is backed up is then quick saved every few minutes by the Curse Client, with the ability to force a quick save by hitting the Escape key and bringing up the Minecraft pause menu. Built an awesome house only to have a creeper pop up out of nowhere and blow it up? Now you can easily click to restore your your world to before that happened!
• World Syncing: Curse Premium members will have the additional ability of being able to easily and quickly upload their world saves to the cloud, which makes it available for download on any PC you want to play your world on!

Get started now by downloading the Curse Client, or check out that very same link for all the awesome features the Client has to offer gamers!

The Curse Team has an exciting announcement to make: it is now possible to sort by Mists of Pandaria beta compatibile addons on Curse.com!

Want to check out what authors have already done? Simply click this link to browse all of the addons available!

As the beta continues on, you can be sure that more of your favourite addons will pop up in this listing! Addon authors are constantly updating their creations to be tested by their users in preparation for the expansion pack's release.

Should you still want to manually download and update your addons, please be sure to install any downloaded MoP beta compatible addons in the proper World of Warcraft installation folder. Placing MoP compatible addons in the current live client may lead to crashes, bugs, or loss of stored addon data.

• Ability to reorder games via drag and drop
• Curse resource links available on each game's tab
• New "play" button -- launching games now even more hassle-free

Curse is happy to announce a brand new planned feature for our Curse Client -- The Developer Center. This will be a quick, easy way for any author to upload and manage their projects. To make this new feature the best it can be for our authors, we want all of your suggestions on what you'd love to have and appreciate!

With this new Developer Center, you'll be able to easily upload new projects and new versions, and see your project list. To top it all off, we're also creating a simple, intuitive wizard to make everything fast and effortless!

Any and all suggestions or thoughts can be sent to [email protected], or leave a comment here -- Our developers will be checking both regularly!

The Curse Client is undergoing a gigantic overhaul, and we need you to test the changes!  This will be one of the largest updates the Client has seen -- as such, suggestions are also appreciated!

 If you'd like to help out, head to testclientupdate.curse.com, and install this test Client.  Please be sure to close the regular Curse Client when testing this one!  As almost everything has been changed or updated, every facet of this new Client needs to be tested.  Some primary examples include:

• Installing new addons, as well as installing many addons at a time
• Update / Uninstalling existing addons
• Search My Addons / Get More Addons, as well as the search filter
• Viewing Changelog, Description, author links, and web site
• AddonSync
• Saved Game Sync
• Scanning for games
• Start Game button
• Update All
• UI Wizard and addon settings cleaner

<div>Please send any and all feedback or suggestions to [email protected].  Any and all are encouraged to help us improve our Client for the better!  </div>

 

Greetings, all!

We have become aware of an issue where authors are not receiving their complimentary monthly Premium subscriptions as they should. If you are an author affected by this, please note that we are working quickly to address this and a fix will be rolled out shortly.

In most cases, if you were previously receiving a complimentary monthly Premium subscription but did not receive one recently, you are still eligible for the subscription and are being affected.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our authors!
