Description
Just curious if you have a time frame in mind for adding support for other games or the API. I was going to use CCK to accomplish something similar for a Tabula Rasa site but the module structure seems much easier to maintain.
#1
Unfortunately, I don't have any timeline set. I work on this when I feel like and when I have the time. The next game that I will implement is, most probably, Age of Conan.
Regarding the API, I have been thinking about it from time to time during the last three months and I can't see it happening. The reason is that games are so much different that I see no benefit in designing or having a general purpose API for MMORPGs. So, when I have the time, my plans are to implement some sort of module specification, or design guideline, and do the module for Age of Conan. That would, most probably, end up in a base module named roster and N modules, one per supported game. Although nothing is really guaranteed until I get down into work (the modules may end up completely separated, with absolutely nothing in common).
Of course, I am open to suggestions and constructive feedback will always be welcome. I may be missing something important, some reason why there should be an API.

Everquest 2 would be awsome
I am developing an eq2 roster, we might host the files here or in a new project but more to come. You can find out more thru this http://drupal.org/node/353639 post as i develop things.
