Ah, I see the point.

Possible workarounds I could see:

- An API to display something into the LOTRO window using an external
application (a window handle or whatever, or possibly a DLL which
provides a function where you can provide a string and screen position)

or alternatively

- allowing linefeeds, but allowing only a certain number of linefeeds "per
minute" (for example 10 linefeeds per minute or even per 5 minutes) and
all in excess get filtered out as currently - this would also prevent people
from posting damagemeter results too often.

or (IMHO best)

- integrating of the functionality of lotrometer into the game (as I said before
I would be willing to give my source code to Turbine). I am of course aware
that probably other new features are more important than damagemeters.
