In regards to the New World Minimap, the base functionality, when we did the review, pulled the position of the player being controller on the client only. If it’s pulling more now, (if they are hooking it up to an outside site to get resource details), then it violates our TOS.

Edit: I’ve edited the original statement to clarify.

So if it doesn’t pull any more information than just that, then it’s fine from my understanding.

Hey everyone, I’m reading through this long thread and there seems to still be some confusion around our official stance on addons.

To clarify, addons that read position only are considered okay at this time. Should our position on that change, we will post on the Official Notice, that Luxendra has been updating, 24 hours prior to taking action.

If the addon reads more than position, including pulling resource locations from the game or an external website, giving players an advantage that is not intended by the developers, it is a violation of our ToS and we will take action.

I hope this has cleared up the confusion.

Tl;dr

Are you using an addon that pulls only your location? You are good at this time and no action will be taken. Keep watch on the official channel in case this position changes.

Are you using an addon that pulls more than your location? You need to stop immediately, as you are subject to action from the moderation team.

If the addon is reading or showing anything other than your location on the map - including the location of resources, like nodes, or places of interest, etc. then it is against the ToS.

Is that an addon? Or are you being cheeky? :slight_smile:

I can say that we are actively looking at improvements all the time, including the compass, map, etc. for quality of life opportunities.

Be sure to let us know what you would love to see in the game, and we will see what we can do. This can be done via in game feedback, or in the forums which is where we lurk and engage often.

I’m going to close this thread since we have made the official statement.

I saw this thread open - feel free to start the feature request conversation about addons there. :vulcan_salute:
