A Look at the New Curse Office!

Another lovely day in downtown San Francisco, California. Except this day is unlike the past six months leading up to it. This is our third day in our new office building, in the heart of the Financial District.

Since I was brought on at Curse in March, we've grown quite a bit with incredibly talented people devoted to moving Curse forward - focused on ensuring our expertise in the World of Warcraft AddOn space is used in other gaming-related areas such as databases, video hosting, image hosting and social networking.

Our old office was rapidly shrinking in available space; some of the team was back in Europe and even then, we were running out of room. The decision was made to move to a new, larger office that would fit our needs now and in the future.

With that, I present to you Curse, Inc. Offices 2.0. I took the liberty of snapping pictures of various areas of the office (though I respected most executive offices - don't want to make them mad!). We've set up some cool Blizzard swag on our walls, but we definitely need more!

With the larger office, we were able to split the teams into sections, that way the execs in charge of managing the teams can better focus their efforts while not bothering people not involved in the team with conversation or questions. The Community and Marketing teams share a room in the office, as seen below.

And of course, my desk is the coolest of them all!

We also have a much larger conference room than before, along with finally getting a whiteboard to draw ideas and brainstorm plans for the future!

Please forgive the lack of chairs in the conference room; we've been slacking over the past few days - but I assure you - we have them, as you can see here.

Last but not least, those developers everyone has grown to love (and some new faces you haven't met yet). All of them share a fairly large room together; Zinor, Asp, Kaelten and Osso are here as well as a few new folks that have been added to the team recently. As you can see from the images below, they were already hard at work when I took the pictures, not only on fixing issues Curse members have reported, but also future features coming soon!

Hopefully you've enjoyed this look into our somewhat empty offices (for now!).
