Well, AIO (made by the great Rochet2) is quite a master Add-on that will interact in LUA with the client. You can therefore create an Add-on server-side and do not require the player to have another Add-on than the AIO client installed on his game client. He will still need a client patch if you use custom texture/image files in your AIO script. iThorgrim made some features with AIO you can get inspired by. Like a Parangon system or an expérience multiplier. AIO can use custom db tables on the server. So basically, AIO is an Add-on that can interact with db and do things server side, where regular Add-ons only make things client side. I hope I explained clearly enough, I apologize if not since I'm not an expert and my english is french-influenced (:

Yeah, thank u Ayahuasca. And as he said, iThorgrim has decent interfaces to start learning from. My suggestion is to download them, read the scripts and start moving stuff here and there and see what happens.
Lua is a rather easy language as well. You'll get the hang pretty easy.
