Hi there,
I had a quick question about the rules regarding addon development and the character select screen. I understand that the character select screen uses the Glue environment and has limited access to game data, but I’ve noticed that some information (like character gold) is displayed on hover.
I’m considering creating an addon that, while the character is logged into the game world, captures their average item level and stores it using SavedVariables. My idea is to later reference this saved data on the character select screen via a custom UI element—not by using any protected functions or attempting to pull live data, but simply by reading data that was previously saved during normal gameplay.
Before I begin working on this, I wanted to check:
Would this type of addon—reading and displaying a character’s previously saved item level data on the character select screen—be considered allowed under Blizzard’s addon and UI modification policies, or would it fall under forbidden behavior?
I’m trying to stay fully within the bounds of the ToS and UI policy, so I’d appreciate any official clarification before I invest development time into this idea.
Thanks in advance!
