NL2 - Multiplayer Support Petition

After talking with several people, we were discussing the factors of if NL2 had Multiplayer Support. The idea came to me while playing in VR. The concept would be simple too, although could extend into some great features that adds a whole new level of interaction.

-How it COULD Work-
A user can set up a server by using portforwarding or hamachi. The host will also be able to give permissions to players, so only certain people can operate certain rides. To add on to this, if an operator left the server or left a ride idle for too long, the ride would switch to auto mode on it's own. In other words, if someone doesn't have the park file, it will auto download for that player if it's uploaded to Steam Workshop. From here on, players can ride roller coasters together and have fun! Mic chat would also be an option, but would be great with Ride Op Roleplay. Also, this would be neat for showcasing rides to a certain group of people, like 'testers', almost. So it would allow you to have media day events for your ride or more!

-What about Avatars?-
This has been the main issue for this. Who's going to make the characters? As far as I know, you might be able to find characters online for free download, or you can hire someone to make some for you. (I'm capable of doing so myself). It would also be a cool addition to the workshop if people were to have custom avatars that they can trade or give away for free. But a pack of 10 different characters would be good for a start. This itself would make the game seem more alive and realistic, as actual people would be riding rather than just empty trains.

-Petition-
I set the limit to 1000, but I'd be overwhelmed if we made it to 100. Although I hope that we can exceed that in hopes for Multiplayer Support. This has been a feature that's been talked about between various members and making it happen would be a dream come true to not only me, but most of you as well.

Think this is a really good idea!

I don't like the ide since NL ride op'ing and real life ride op'ing aren't comparable.

Also it's one of the few games that has never had a pointless or stupid update. I think they understand the enthusiast market best and know what they're doing

^I agree, it seems like the dev team knows exactly what they're doing, and every update so far has had a large purpose (ex. the wingriders, double spine, etc.). I don't think they would release an update unless they knew exactly what they were doing, and there are a lot of variables with multiplayer gaming so this would be rather difficult to predict

I'm in! This would require a lot of thought to get the process down, but if it gets figured out I'd love to see it!

I'm signing it, cause I'd really like this feature! But I know the Dev's know what they are doing!
