Rakion - Map Editor
Ever since Blue Duck's Rakion server was closed down due to a lawsuit filed by Softnyx, the players and enthusiasts of Rakion have been without a map editor.
This editor, coded by Blue Duck alone and on his free time, allowed players to toggle between free-fly and normal walking modes, and to spawn cubes in their position, the size and position of which could later be edited in a Windows notepad. It also included the ability to spawning portals, and determine their destinations (marked with arrows).
This very simple and clean tool allowed for players to create vastly different maps, utilizing the dozens of existing ones in Rakion. The video included only shows one single player-made map in one single existing map (Discovery of Temple). Now imagine the possibilities when thousands of players utilize Rakion's dozens of maps and create their own.
The existing maps have lots of detail that are wasted when they are simply limited to the Stage mode, and their base form. Players could, with their Rakion playing experience, create bold castles and vast battle arenas, and bring immense depth to the game's existing content. Every new map that Softnyx releases would bring 10,000s of new player-made map possibilities. Imagine the saved resources and the amount of generated playing content in that.
If you want a Map Editor tool to be added to Rakion, sign under. We need every vote we can ever get for Softnyx to see that this is something that the Players of Rakion want. Show Softnyx that there is demand. Show the other supporters that you care.

We the undersigned wish to see the Map Editor tool to be added to Rakion.
The map editor tool could work by spawning the cubes found in Holy Spring for example, and portals and their destination places. A player in editor mode could toggle between normal walking and free-fly modes (to place objects wherever on the map). This is how the map editor created by Blue Duck worked; a very simple concept that allowed for endless possibilities.
Players could, with their Rakion playing experience, create beautiful castles and vast battle arenas, and bring immense depth to the game's existing content. Every new map that you - Softnyx - release, would bring 10,000s of new player-made map possibilities. Imagine the saved resources and the amount of generated playing content in that.
Lots and lots of existing games also have such a feature, and are often very liked for it. We can assure you that it does not make the game "like a private server" (your statement:

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Sincerely, the undersigned.
