Since the last official post from a developer was over a year ago, I’ll quote a post from Stefan Larimore (official developer). He was writing this post on another topic, but it is kinda important for the development plans in general was well:

Regarding a megaserver-compatible live events API: For a few reasons, there are no plans to build this in the short/medium term, unfortunately.

The reply was posted on 17th May 2014, and here’s the link:

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure this decision of not developing a Megaservers Events API means that OAuth authentication is on hold too and therefore many developers are kinda doomed I guess…

This is really unfortunate. I’ve been waiting for the OAuth2 tool for quite some time now. Anything useful (that can’t already be achieved by just logging into the game) is impossible to develop without authentication and direct access to individual users. Hopefully they change their minds and get around to finishing the API development after all. There is so much that can be done by individual developers if we simply have the tools with which to do it.
