Confirmed: Addons Are Coming to Rift
UPDATE: MMOUI will be hosting a Rift UI site at http://www.riftui.com! As part of the ZAM Network, the MMOUI team runs WoWinterface, EQ2interface, LotROinterface, and so on. The site should be up and running next week.
Many of the users in our Rift general forum have been discussing the possibility of Addons coming to Rift, and Assistant Community Manager James "Elrar" Nichols has confirmed that the rumor is indeed true. The folks over at Massively noticed that Nichols made the confirmation announcement today in the new Alpha Addon API Development section on the official forums.
Nichols said that the initial implementation of the Addons API has recently been released on the Public Test Shard, and Trion Worlds plans to reveal more details in the coming days. He also touched on their guidelines for the new feature:
"We remain committed to our policy that, when we do release the API to live shards, the API meets our expectations and is supported with the highest standards. Addons, Skins, and other modifications to the User Interface must not interfere with the quality and stability you have come to expect. To that end, we must also ensure that the API will not be abused and allow players to automate their play."
