Hi Ravens here, played WoW and got hooked on the add-ons for it, hoping this time I can add to the community and not just sponge of it.

[Sunspots]

Hi!
I'm usually Sunspots but there is apparently another Sunspots in the rift community so I sense there might be some confusion.
I'm not "Sunspots" on the official forums but I'm Sunspots here and on Curse.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way - I recently started playing rift and the addons addition was definitely a selling point for me (I would've gotten it anyway I think, but maybe not as eagerly)
I have been a bit of an addon junkie when I've played WoW and WAR (and some RoM and LOTRO), some weeks spending more time on simply customising the addons than actually playing the thing.

I have released one little thing previously, which was basically just a single-function mod for WAR.

Right now, though, I'm making two different mods for RIFT; some unit bars and a library(more on that later).
I don't know how they will turn out but, since I haven't really done much of this before.

Wish me luck!

[drecan]

Hi my name is Tim AKA Drecan (most of my MMO toons are named Drecan).

I honestly haven't even played Rift yet. And before anyone askes yes I've been living under a rock for the past 6 months but that rock was made of lots of ocean and a big metal aircraft carrier -.-.

I'm interested in trying to get on the Addon "band wagon" for Rift. I did a couple of addons for WoW (played for 5 years) nothing worth mentioning and most of the time it was for my own use or use of a friend.

I mainly used addons just to make my UI mine so to speak. I run a 23" monitor @ 1920x1080 and will force everything down to the bottom of my screen so I have a huge landscape for my viewing pleasure. Depending on the character and what I would be doing no hot bars would be on shown on my screen.

As soon as I get off this hunk of metal (which will be soon finally) I do play on play Rift (already bougth the collectors edition while it was on sale for digital download).

Since I'll be new to the game (will be playing Defiant more then likely) I am also going to be looking for a shard to call home (hint hint).

Well this was just supposed to be a short and sweet about me. Looking forward to using these forums and hopefully gaining some insight into Rift addons and maybe helping people out.

So, Drecan, what the name of your "93,000 tons of diplomacy"? I used to serve as MM2(SW) on the USS Enterprise.

[Levva]

Hi I'm Levva and I'm an Addon Developer. See first step to recovery is admitting the truth.

I'm probably best known for the WoW addon for Enhancement Shaman ShockAndAwe. I'm also the author of the Rawr addon for WoW, Rawr.Enhance, a project co-ordinator for EnhSim and one of the Super Moderators at MMO-Champion.com.

I've been playing Rift since beta but paused when my mates from WoW stubbornly didn't join me. Now that addons are on the go with an API available (very very minimalist at present) I'll have a bash at writing a Rift addon. Plus my mates are starting to say that patch 4.2 for WoW is so poor that they are already fed up with little to do and its been out for less than a month. So who knows they might join me after all.

My first project is already started on Curse and I'm gradually picking apart the API & example coding to see how it all works although I'm not fully sure the API supports what I need yet.

Anyway I'm very pleased to have found a dedicated resource for Rift Addon Developers and hope to discuss many things here over the comming months.

[Cairenn]

Welcome Levva. Yeah, I know you from your addons on WoWInterface. I hope you will feel free to host your Rift addons here as well.

Hi, all there ...

I am an somewhat older woman from Germany loving MMORPGSs after being seduced by ZELDA ...

I've been using Cairenn's, Dolby's and Drakah's UIs since 11 years now (or were it 12 already ), starting with EQ (with my bard "Saph" on Solusek Ro, oh yes, those were the days ) over WOW (with a lot of toons on a lot of servers - my user name "proke" at WOWInterface) a short trip (from BETA to a bit over a year) to AION and now I'm playing RIFT (since prelaunch) too.

Far away from being able to develop my own addons I am a vivid user though - addicted to beauty - and therefore I am really curious how RIFT addons will develop.

Hey! You no doubt zoomed past my chars a few times with your selos on Solusek Ro back in the day. That was my server as well (Before Bristlebane swallowed it (grumble)). Good to actually see someone else from good ol' SolRo =)

Anyway, I'm a fairly avid developer though I've never publicly released anything. As someone else said, I believe, I like to make the UI and it's functionality "Mine". Who knows, I may yet release one of them sometime. I may have released one for DAoC back in the day. Don't remember if I did or not. That was some of the best fun modding. WoW may have topped it if I had played the game for any length of time, who knows.

So, here's to Rift and the success of all the great authors here!

Hello Everyone

I am Lildry, I am currently enrolled at Unveristy of Phoenix getting my BA degree in Information Technology WebDesign/Programing. I already have an associates degree in information technology webdesign. I am really good with HTML and photoshop, I have taken C/C++ class and I did well in it. I will be takeing java classes later this year, unfortantly the school doesn't offer any LUA classes and I need to learn it on my own with the help of some of you.

I am intrested in a few types of application, I would like to work on healing addon, chat addon, and decurse addon. I have already learned to creat slash commands using Lua and now I moveing on to learn to make a simple default window. Next I would like to learn to build a raid frame.

I have been spending alot of time working on Lua application over the past 3 weeks and I found that the API has alot of things that need to be added. The things that we can do with the API is currently very limited. I think that the Rift API is easy to read compared to WoW and when it is completed it will be far better than wow. I hope to work with some of you soon.

Regards,
Lildry
