It would be fun to have a sandbox server so you could have an airline of your dreams.
It could include infinite slots and you could have infinite money.
Would you be willing to pay for getting the server and paying the people who maintain the server and programming?
Um...
The issue with that is that the people who start first or the people who have a tonne of time would always win..
In a sandbox mode, there are no winners, only inactive accounts

I had an airline on airline-empires in "no political restriction scenario". It became the 2nd airline with like thousands of billions in cash. It also had like 4,000 unscheduled planes. It also got abandoned
Hint to Eric: got bored with it.
Edit: And btw Quimby is a kind of sandbox-server. It has double slots, all aircraft available as new at non-adjusted price, and limited time-span. It is more-or-less sandbox-like.
If everyone is having the airline of their dreams with 1000 airplanes instead of 50 on average that means the server load will be 20 times higher ( roughly ).
If we assume that server cost represents 50% of the cost for Airline sim that means you will have to pay 10 times more for the subscription.
Do you think it would be worth it just to play in a world with zero challenge and zero opposition?
For me I would not pay half the current cost for such a world since I play Airline sim because of the challenge of real opposition and real players competing against me.
