Addon development after weekend beta is over

[ronsavage]

Heya - just getting started with addon development, reading up on LUA syntax, the wiki, examples etc.

I got started with the MyFirstAddon example and snooping around with zgoo during the weekend beta period but would like to continue after the beta weekend is done.

Is there a way to fire up the game in a "sandbox" mode for addon development without being logged into the server?

Thanks,

Ron
