So you want to know more about the lobby?

I've decided to start a series of posts about the lobby development since I've found that there are a lot of people interested in the new lobby development/features/progress, plus MM's blog has done extremely well.

I think that the game's menus are seriously in need of a remodeling. It would be nice if it was possible to refresh # of players in a server and stuff without having to request servers and find it again, or, just have a button to "refresh server info" for the whole page without changing the order the servers are in and the position of the scrollbar (kind of like the "ping servers" button).

It is also annoying that there are checkboxes for things like "no bonuses". It would be much more user friendly to have to have 3 checkboxes for "yes", "no", and "dont filter for this". This way, you could choose to only show servers that are unrealistic, fo instance.

I would also like to see checkboxes for gamemodes so I could choose to display inf or ctf servers, but not htf, dm, tm, or pm, for instance.

The gamemodes should also be expanded to include "subgamemodes" like race, climb, dodgeball, and law catch.

With these changes, I believe that finding the servers you want to play can be a much easier task with fewer annoying restrictions.

This is the wrong place for this; the lobby has nothing to do with the ingame interface, it's the backend that powers everything. Any percieved shortcomings of the ingame interface should be put in Game Improvements / Suggestions.
