But it does not add new objects or items into the game itself. It can modify UI or track, collect, analyze or show information. Any addon for an MMO game is a tool with limited possibilities. Some ESO fans think that it will be possible to add their own items like armor or weapon using LUA but it’s misleading. That means, if you have enough knowledge you can create different tools such as Damage Meters, Healing Over Time meters, tools for crafters, raiders and other useful programs. Maria Aliprando, one of ESO devs, has confirmed that the UI of the game is fully modable for LUA scripting. What kind of addons will be supported by the game? We plan to host the top addons from different developers and provide a one-stop page for all your addon needs. We expect to see just as many useful add-ons for ESO that will help players throughout the game. This MMO also uses LUA which allows for the creation of many useful and diverse addons.
If you have MMO experience you have probably played World of Warcraft. LUA is a wide spread programming language often used by MMO games to allow players to create their own tools and addons. In terms of addon support Elder Scrolls Online are going with LUA addons.
