On External Tools. There have been a number of games that allow for data-mining/api's of much of the game's data. This is very handy and leads to some great innovations/integrations. One I could foresee is website/discord integrations to sync permissions with ranks/offices in game. To announce events, statuses, and player information being available or tied to those accounts via a plug-in. Making the data readily available enables these creators to build tools that further help guild leaders to do their jobs without a lot of the manual steps necessary. Discord is a very good example. There is a bot called Charlemagne that shows raid stats for users. There are many other examples. What thought have you given to data-mining and availability of game/guild/player details being available externally.

On External Tools (part 2). There are bishops, mayors, guild leaders, all with important roles in the world. Will there be apps/tools external to the game to manage those responsibilities. For example a guild management tool on your website, or phone app. Inventory management, like Destiny 2 had (3rd party), Town management. These are helpful for a person that's busy and doesn't have the ability to log in right away to make an important change, such as securing a vault or demoting a member, queuing the next project, etc.

Hi there! It looks like other members above helped point you in the right direction, by sharing our current philosophy on APIs as discussed on the helpful community-run wiki here. If you have any follow-up questions based on this, I'd recommend bringing them to an upcoming AMA or live stream Q&A session so our team can dive in further!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything further we can assist you with in the meantime!
