This is very substantial. Understanding how the master server list works has made it possible for GSPs to keep our high performance servers full. With the pseudo-random nature of the list now, the aggregate quality of gameplay on pubs has been reduced.
This changing of the server list gets me worried. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think it opens the doors to corruption. It would benefit the gaming community to put the list back the way it was.

Rarely do they like playing on random servers (for the obvious reasons). Common sense tells me a lot of people would wait for a full server list, make a favorites list of low ping or 'different' servers, and be good for a long, long time. Either way, it's instantly sorted by ping automatically, so I don't understand why having the "cable/dsl servers" shown first makes any difference. People are going to wait for the right map, the right ping, and the right player slots. Too many people making this such a huge deal when it's nothing. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jay Carter Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 8:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds] Not seeing CALIF servers Perhaps you should send out a memo on that then because I don't think that's going to change anyone's playing habits.
