When will SE release an addon SDK?

[Raikki]

When i look at it, the addons that they allow are UI customization only... all others add ons such as threat meter, are provided by the dev, as they do not want PS3 users unable to have them too...

A first-party cross-platform damage meter would be great, but I don't think it'll happen. Damage meters will exist (and should exist), but they'll almost certainly be third-party and PC-only.

Yoshida did say that any addon that becomes very popular or like a must might be dev team ported to the ps3.

I thought they said UI add-ons woul be built in Flash? in that case, Adobe Flash is your SDK, just need to know the ins, outs and functions for each widget, I guess. Not sure where all of this is going though, it's not even beta yet.

Addons suck. If an MMO makes players feel like they can't play it "efficiently" with it own UI then its over bloated with abilities/power/spells and the systems in which those are use is broken.

If someone tells me I can't raid with them because I don't have such-and-such addon installed to play , they can go to hell. The only reason people think games like WoW needs addons is because they over complicated something that should have been simpler from the start.

I missed the days where one or 2 bars was enough to have fun with. FFXIV:ARR doesn't need addons! K.I.S.S. it!

Hello!

We’ve received several requests for add-on tools on the Alpha forums as well, but we expect it will take approximately half a year after official service begins before we provide tools as we would like to ensure stability first.

While it will be a bit in the future, we will make sure to keep you up to date with specific details when we can.

Even tho i dislike addon and hate if it get to the point that ls make you use addons. I say this is really bad news for the game overall not having addon from day one would really hurt the game in NA where people love Addon to death. But seeing how addon or only UI base and i guess not much of a issue.

How so? i remember when 1.0 came out a shit load of people was bitching that it did not even have addon. Not saying that all NA players enjoy and like it but it seem a lot do and want addon maybe in 2+years that mind set change.

People don't "love addons to death" and won't not play just because they won't be avialable at launch. Most of the people who buy a game don't even know about addons. Only the most hardcore players really care at all, and I'm sure they can wait a few months before it becomes possible.
