Player made addons

[Arda]

Will there be player made addons, if so what script language will it be in and how much freedom will players have to create their own addons.

There is no support for player made addons. Opening up for player addon's opens up the code and game to exploitation and hacking security wise in a very big way. We decided to put all the hooks we could into the interface and allow full re-skinning in XML but no open language for the players to create their own modules.

Hi Athelan,

Just to be clear on this... in the Oslo event videos, Gaute seemed to say that you wouldn't have support for 3rd party addons at launch but that the capability would be added in a later patch. At least that's what I got out of it. So are you saying that you'll never allow 3rd party addons period (which is what it looks like to me) or that it won't happen at launch but might happen later when you've had time to figure out the said security issues etc.?

Thanks again for the answers.
