Anyone know the response to the below question? Anyone else planning on doing the same thing?
Seems like we might have to set the server to 24 slots first before we could activate the MvM mode though...

Idea here is to set it to 6 players and passworded so only me and a few friends could play it privately.... Also, am I wrong to assume all servers will get the update to handle MvM game mode either tonight or tomorrow and be able to toggle it themselves?
