World of Warcraft

Lich King Beta: Author Key Giveaway!

We're very excited to offer a unique opportunity for AddOn authors with projects hosted on the Curse Network. You've supported us over the years, and this giveaway is part of our thanks for all the hard work and time you've devoted to improving the experience of World of Warcraft players worldwide.

We're going to be giving away Beta keys for Wrath of the Lich King, and any AddOn author is eligible! There are a few fairly simple pieces of criteria which must be met, but all-in-all, if you're an active member of the author community, there's a good chance you'll be hearing from us soon!

How do I enter?

It's fairly simple to enter; send an email to community@curse.com and enter the subject "AddOn Author Beta Key Giveaway"

Include in the email:

  • Your Curse username
  • Your primary AddOn projects
  • The websites where your AddOn projects are hosted here on the Curse Network

And of course, the criteria to be eligible:

  • You must be an AddOn author with at least one valid AddOn project here on the Curse Network.
    • The project must be your creation. We cannot stress this enough; AddOns falsely claimed as your own may disqualify you from this and any future contests on Curse.com. Please respect the time AddOn authors have put into their work by leaving the opportunity to valid authors.
    • Compilations do not count as valid submissions for the giveaway.
    • At least one of your projects must be compatible with World of Warcraft patch 2.4.3.
    • If there are multiple members on a selected project, the code will go to the "Project Lead" and they can choose whether to use it or give it to another member of the team.
  • Only one Beta key will be given out to each author.
  • You must be entering the giveaway with either a valid US or EU World of Warcraft account -- Chinese and Korean accounts are currently not eligible for entry.
  • You must enter the giveaway with a valid email address which we can reply to in the event you're chosen.
  • Blizzard Entertainment reserves the right to deny entry into the beta.

Authors chosen for the giveaway will be contacted to supply additional information Blizzard requires to receive the Beta keys, so please submit your entry via a valid email address.

Once again, thank you from everyone at Curse for all the hard work you've put into your AddOns! See you in Northrend soon!

    I'd say you already have, by the number of downloads.

    ... says I, with an AddOn that has spent time in the top 20 in the past. ;)

    Having replied to the acceptance e-mail, how long does it take for me to actually receive a key?
    I'm using Hotmail so I'm always afraid an e-mail doesn't arrive.

  • Sun, Jul 20 2008 12:36 AM ()

    Still no key in my inbox although being approved by curse. Is there anything known about the ETA? I'm anxiously checking my inbox a million times a day, without luck ofc :(

  • Sun, Jul 20 2008 12:36 AM ()

    Same here man, I'm growing impatient.
    Mailbox and this page, multiple times a day.

    Anyone anywhere with the answer?

    A new batch of beta keys has been sent out, but it seems to be ppl that just opt-in for the beta. No keys have been sent out for the addon authors giveaway afaik. Frustration keeps rising whilst my fingers bleed from hitting the refresh button. Ah well...

  • Sun, Jul 20 2008 12:36 AM ()

    I finally got mine, fingers crossed for everyone else.
