Honestly, I don't see any reason why a leveling guide would not be allowed, or could be stopped for that matter. It doesn't give any kind of unfair advantage, doesn't effect game play and certainly doesn't cheat/hack the game. Has no effect on any other players either. All it really is is a massive amount of suggestions that you, the player, choose to follow or not. Besides, the only way that Trion would know what addons you were running is if they were to invade your privacy, which is illegal unless the CIA are the ones doing it lol. I figure they'll follow suit with the rules that Blizzard has set for WoWs addons. Which, I have to say are pretty fair rules. I remember back when you could control winamp from within WoW via an addon but due to some people having account info stolen, Blizz removed the ability for their xml based addons to control anything outside the game. Just my 2 cents btw lol. If they actually go through with it and enable the addons then it'll be cool, if not, still cool. Oh, and if I offended anyone, I apologize.

Here is the opening post from Trion about addons:
Default Addon Development: Alpha
Hi all,
As some of you have no doubt discovered, the initial implementation of our Addons API has recently been released on the Public Test Shard. We will be releasing more details, guidelines, and documentation for the intended usage of Addons in the coming days.
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.
While we’ve provided a robust default UI we understand the desire to customize and make it your own. In the end, we want to deliver something of quality and continue to iterate this feature with you once it is live to give everyone the greatest chance to help this system evolve.
We have opened up this new forum section and invite developers to collaborate together and with us while we prepare this feature for release – thanks for your interest, and stay tuned!Comment

I'm gonna merge this thread with the other rift thread that has this information in it. It's really a off-topic discussion about another game even though we are talking about a Zygor guide.I'm Rebur, Tadia, or Judianna most games.

Here's a post from sanktanglian in the addon forum. It's what he found so far from digging around in the files. Now this is no way official since it's not from Trion. I wouldn't expect anything official from Trion till either Monday or Tuesday. And anything official may come from them at E3 so it could be awhile before it's posted on the Forums. But here is the post:
so ive done a little digging in the game files and have a few things to share:
Addons loaded from Game Path/Interface/Addons
Addons will each provide their own toc file
Addons toc file is found at Game Path/Interface/Addons/Addon Name/RiftAddon.toc
Rift's flash files can be loaded via the lua
It will support createFrame
Hooking existing functions might not be possible
using luajit 2.0
supports savedvariables
Will display how much memory an addon is using
It also appears there will be settings for each addon outside of savedvariables.
i just went in game and it appear there is a /script and a /reloadui, where the first says that the lua environment isnt currently running, and the second does work
From Kewne:
Event system, there is one
Here's the rest (3 files in 1 covering API setup, persistence and frame stuff).I'm Rebur, Tadia, or Judianna most games.

The biggest thing I'd love to see Zygor do for Rift is a talent guide. That's really the only thing I use the WoW guides for unless I'm leveling a toon on opposite faction. Which, due to me having been Alliance most of my WoW life, I've been using the guides to level my hordie alts lol. Anyhow, I could defiantly justify spending a little extra cash on a talent guide for Rift. The way it is now is so much more fun than it was in the Beta.Comment

I am sooo looking forward to an AH addon. I like to feel lazy most of the time so all this manual AH scanning is for the birds!Comment

Addon Info.
From Trion:
I posted this way off in the depths of the Addon forums, but I thought I'd post it here also. Hey everyone! My name's Ben and I'm a member of the UI team. I've developed a lot of smaller features (like the Public Group system) but now my main job is lead developer of the addon system. I'm going to be paying close attention to the Addon forum and giving out technical support occasionally. I've been working in the game industry on and off for around a decade, taking a break to go back to school and put in a few years at Google. I was also heavily involved in the MMO addon scene for about two years. I'm going to be using my addon experience to make Rift's addon system as good as I possibly can. You have no idea how excited I am to see what people make with it.
Indeed I am. I've got some experience in this field.Holy crap. Are you ZorbaTheHutt as in the dude who worked on QuestHelper in WoW?
Here's a pair of examples to get you started.
To install:
* Download the addon you're interested in
* Open Rift Public Test Shard
* Click the "Addons" button
* Click the "Open Addon Directory" button
* Wait for the directory to open up
* Extract the addon into that directory, preserving its path layout
* Return to Rift
* Click "Refresh"
* Play the game!
The actual extraction method depends on your operating system but we're going to assume that addon developers can figure that bit out.
Trion Development Tools are a set of Lua-based utilities that we plan to improve as we go. At the moment, their only purpose is to dump the list of available functions, optionally with documentation. "/dump" will show the bare list, with "/dump detail" giving function and parameter descriptions. The detailed output is far too long to fit in the chat buffer - you'll want to use "/log" to turn on the disk chat log first. Trion Development Tools also includes detailed documentation on the .toc format and is probably where you should start.
Zorba's Buff Bars is a set of modified buff bars in a drastically different style, and is provided as an example of a realistic mod. We'll be fleshing it out as we add functionality.
Files are in this link to the forum post: http://forums.riftgame.com/showthrea...=1#post2566747
Here's a list of available functions, followed by the same list with extra documentation. Keep in mind that the addon system is a work in progress and the vast majority of the time spent so far has been spent on the framework, not the API. More functionality will be showing up as the system is improved.
Rift API functions are self-documenting via Development.Documentation and will also dump their documentation if used incorrectly.
Note that this is the exact output that is generated by the Trion Development Tools addon.

From Trion:
A few bits of information. First off, addons will not be included in 1.3. We want to make sure the addon system is completely ready for launch before launching it. Second, in preparation for 1.3, addons will be disabled on PTS from June 15 through June 22. And possibly a day or two later, but we'll get them back up as soon as we can. We know you're excited to keep working on addons, but this is necessary for a smooth 1.3 launch. Finally, it's our intention to keep PTS up as much as possible until the Addon system is released. We'd like to give you plenty of time to work on addon code. We realize this will be an inconvenience, but we'll keep your development environment available whenever we can.I'm Rebur, Tadia, or Judianna most games.

I don't think Retailers are going to like Trion selling Rift at 9.99 for the digital download (from the Rift website).I am CDO. This is a lot like OCD, except the letters are in alphabetical order... as they should be.Comment
