I hope this is on-topic, but I apologize and understand if it's not.

I would like to develop and sell commercial addons for an MMO. Blizzard will no longer allow me to do this for their game.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for information on whether Warhammer Online and/or Lord of the Rings online allow commercial addons?

While I was close to public release of my commercial addons for WoW, this policy turns that effort into a deadend. Thankfully, I guess, I do not have users I have to agonize over how to properly support due to this policy change.

Honestly, as a player, I am more hurt by Blizzard's choice of how to implement this policy than I am as a developer. I strongly believe that players should have as much choice as possible when it comes to addons, and eliminating addons written by people who would prefer to make more than poverty level income in return for publishing an addon hurts players significantly.

Thanks in advance for any help.
