SINGLE PLAYER / SANDBOX
So i’m assuming a majority of you have played private servers weather its for easy maxing, /give, /setstat, etc.
What if there was a way we could incorporate this into the full game? Lets say in the main menu a Single player option appeared here:
Access could be acquired through fame or gold weather its a one time payment, monthly, or weekly, etc.
Buying access to this would allow you to go into a Single player / Sandbox kind of version of the game. You would not be able to access your actual characters from here and instead will be given blank character slots with the number varying on how many slots you own. No item or character made here would transfer over into the actual game that we all play today and would stay separate and exclusive to your Single Player / Sandbox realm.
In this Single Player / Sandbox players would be granted a multitude of commands and options to play with. Commands such as /give {Item Name}, /spawn {Entity}, /setstat {stat} {#}, /Level {#}, /max, /invulnerable, /invisible, etc.This would give the player a sandbox in which they can do anything they want. Weather its test drop rates, have fun with items they previously have never been able to obtain, try various challenges in dungeons, and play without worry of lost progress. Expanding on that last statement players instead of dying will simply be brought back to the nexus.
Now you may be thinking this sounds amazing, why would I ever want to go back to normal realm? That is why this is single player, sure its fun to mess around by yourself but, it lacks the social aspect of being in a guild, getting extremely rare drops and knowing that you earned it so you can brag about it seconds later, running guild dungeons, the death and the fear of death constantly pushing you to improve your gameplay, and laughing at your guild mate who lost his Jugg to a white demon(That one was me, feels bad man).
All of these are experiences that the single player will not be able to give and will have players
switching between the two constantly. Obviously this idea can be massively expanded on and I would love to hear everyones input. Thank you for your time!
