As just about everyone knows, recently Blizzard released a new
policy that covers standards addon developers must adhere to in order
to ensure their addons will not be blocked from running in the game.
Part of this policy said that you cannot solicit donations from within
the game as it is considered to be a form of advertising.
Yesterday, we pushed an update to Curse.com that displays donation
info on the addon details page and download pages to support authors
who have spent their free time enriching the gaming experience for
everyone.
For Users
Not everyone is able to donate, and even if you can doesn't mean you
have to by any means. However, for those of you who can afford and are
inclined to donate I'd recommend asking yourself a simple question:
When you setup a new copy of WoW or clear all your addons. What addons must you have before you're willing to play?
Those are the addons I'd personally consider donating to.
For Authors
To setup donation info just follow the steps below.
- Go to your project's page on CurseForge or WowAce
- From the actions select "Edit donation info"
- Complete the form and hit the "Edit donation info" button
From all of us at Curse.com, I'd like to thank all the addon authors
out there who spend so much time developing addons that makes all of
our gaming experiances that much better.
Happy Coding!
