I think one of the easiest ways to implement this update, as well as allow players see server listings is by having a filter implemented. An example of the filters would be "Show populated servers", "Show small servers", "Show server with friends on"
A benefit of this would it would give everyone the best of both worlds, people who like to be on big servers, and like to socialise with big crowds have that given to them via the filter, rather than having no choice to join the server. People who want smaller servers may be because of performance reasons, or because they do not like crowded servers for whatever reason. Showing friends only would allow people who do not like playing games without their friends, or makes it a lot easier to find a nice, concise list of friends playing the game, rather than relying on the follow system.
I think the greatest benefit of the filter is that it really wouldn't be that difficult to implement to the website, and benefits the player base significantly, by giving them what they want back and more! |
