About Curse Client
If you've managed to find your way over to this section of the site, you're either curious about how our data collection works, or you're interested in helping submit data to the website. So, here's some frequent questions.
How does it work?
Our data collection is done via a small application which runs on Windows. It sits quietly in your system tray, periodically sending information on entities (monsters and npcs), items, quests, your profile, and various other small bits of information to Curse. The client poses no security threat to your system and we do not collect any personal information such as email addresses or passwords.
The client itself is not a hack and does not provide any advantage over other players. All it does is collect harmless information about objects in the game.
What do we collect?
As stated above, we only collect what is necessary for our database, no personal information or passwords are collected. Data collected from the game includes:
- Item statistics
- Entity information (NPCs, interactable objects, monsters), including what they drop and where they spawn
- Quest information, including which entities give you quests, and which complete them
- Chunk information (zones and locations)
- Your character's profile and statistics
What games do we collect from?
Currently we only collect from two games. More may be added in the near future.
- World of Warcraft
- Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
How can I help?
To submit data to Curse you will first need to register for an account. Once you have an account, you may then download the installer. After installation you will be asked for your username and password, enter your username and password for Curse, not for the game. Once done the client will work on it's own. You can check its status and change any configuration by using the icon in your system tray.
Taking Screenshots
The client allows you to bind a hotkey to take screenshots while you're playing games. When you are finished playing it will let you review the screenshots you've taken and upload the select screenshots to your profile automatically.
What's Next?
After you've begun submitting data you may notice some new additions to your account. If we've detected your character you'll be able to display the gear and abilities of that character on your profile, as well as choose a "primary character" for displaying elsewhere (such as on forum posts). To display your character you must first mark it as visible in the character administration.
"You may also notice a box called "contributions" appear on your profile and account home. This will allow you to see what you've discovered in-game and may have even received reputation points for."
What is "Install Package"
On every project page, you will see an icon with the text "Install Package". With the Curse Client installed, this button functions as a one-click download/install/extract for your addon projects. Save time and effort by using the Curse Client to install your addons for you!
