AionSource.com and Curse form partnership (ftw)!

Mark · 04-10-2008, 07:19 PM

I'm excited to announce to all you Aion fans that AionSource.com has joined forces with Curse.com, the MMO portal powerhouse whose name is nearly synonymous for WoW addons, to give you fans a better Aion experience. Curse and I have been in contact with each other since about a year ago, but only a few weeks ago did they offer to formally partner up with AionSource.com. Almost immediately I recognized the advantages of their proposition and accepted their offer.

Curse also supports other large fansites such as Warhammer Alliance. They're pros at what they do and already are helping AionSource.com grow and evolve, as evidenced by Zyuu's activity in the community and our recent server move. If you haven't heard of Curse before I encourage you to check out their website right now. They recently released WoWDB, a direct competitor to Thottbot and Wowhead. Curse developed this new skin you are seeing right now. They also helped move AionSource.com to a dedicated server in the span of a night. Like I said, they're good. What does Curse get out of this partnership? Your patronage, hopefully, and recognition as a kind of modern-day MMO philanthropist.

So AionSource.com just got upgraded from Coach to First Class on the Aion fansite plane. It's still the same site you know and love, but now we have a bit more more clout. We'll get more features, more exclusives. The only direction to go from here is up, Aion fans. I'm no scryer, but I predict a massive surge of content and visitors soon, driven by the gaming media finally "discovering" Aion. The sky's the limit, nearly literally. Let's fly together.

If you have any questions or concerns, post them. I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.

Awesome *** job, Mark! Curse!

Herro, Curse!

The change was a little sudden but I think I'll recover because of the awesomeness.

Casket · 04-10-2008, 07:23 PM

Looks freaking nice.

But question, since the merger, are we going to see alot more of:

Well, we have these amazing exclusive screenshots and if you just go register at Curse you can see them!

I really hope not. I love Curse, they helped quite a bit during my WoW days, but I don't want to see AS become someone's *****.

Cylicon · 04-10-2008, 07:23 PM

Niiiiiiiice.

RenegadeAngel · 04-10-2008, 07:23 PM

Wow, it kinda scared me when I first saw the new look, admittedly.

Trickster · 04-10-2008, 07:26 PM

Love the new layout and the partnership sounds like a fabulous deal for aionsouce

Diablo · 04-10-2008, 07:26 PM

Now we are cursed.

Yakuzan · 04-10-2008, 07:27 PM

Interesting, I have always liked Curse for it's contest, layout and large list of WoW addon's. The new skin is 100% better than the purple one, huge improvement.

Good job, Mark and the team.

I noticed advertisement, I just hope it doesn't over-take the website.

Aeshec · 04-10-2008, 07:28 PM

Nice new look! Awesome news!!

Casket · 04-10-2008, 07:30 PM

Also, second question. Since we are now part of Curse, are some sort of new rules going to be enacted?

Like only serious discussions?

Karnage · 04-10-2008, 07:31 PM

OMG I hope not. Otherwise my life is ruined.

knite16 · 04-10-2008, 07:31 PM

If I hadn't just learned today that Stone Temple Pilots got back together and are playing my city, this would have made my day. But seeing the new skin came reeeeeealy reeeeeealy close.

Congratulations Mark, and AionSource.com for a great ~~merger~~ partnership and a wonderful door-opening opportunity.

We're only partners with Curse at the moment. Our same rules apply, and they're damn good rules. Read 'em here: AionSource.com - Announcements in Forum : News & Announcements
