FAQ What can I do with the Player Edition?  You can join games hosted by other players (as long as there are available guest seats) and participate fully in their sessions. However, this edition does not allow you to create your own online multiplayer sessions or design maps. What is a guest seat? The Player Edition of Multiverse Designer allows a player to join games created by an owner of any of the Multiverse Designer Game Master Edition DLCs. When a player with the Player Edition joins a game, one of the available Game Master's guest seats will be occupied. If there are no more guest seats available, it will not be possible for the player to join the session. Game Master editions owners can join a game without using a guest seat. A Practical Example Suppose Freddie bought the game with 4 guest seats. He starts a network game. John, Paul, George, and Ringo only have the Player Edition; they log in and start playing. Suddenly, John needs to leave, but he calls Mr. Dickinson to join. Mr. Dickinson also has only the Player Edition, but John's guest seat is now available, so Mr. Dickinson can take it for himself. Now, another friend of theirs, Mr. Jagger, tries to join with the Player Edition. Alas, he's denied entry because Freddie is using all four of his guest seats. But Mr. Jagger really wants to join the game, so he goes and buys a Game Master Edition DLC. Now he doesn't count as a guest, so he can immediately join the game.
