We have a problem with the lobby system which we're working on fixing. I'm told that right now for instance there are about 5000 entries in the lobby list, yet only a small subset of those are shown.
5000? whew! I only see 10 atm, never seen more than 13 at the same time.
But at release, should probably remove the games in progress from the lobby if we will be able to see 5000 at the same time (unless we'll be able to join games already in progress). A checkbox for "hide full" and "hide games in progress" would easily solve it though.
Ya I typically see anywhere between 6-10 lobbies at any given time, occasionally I get to see maybe 20 or so but never something like 5000. I do agree that you should make sorting options (Which I am sure you will once we release) as far as sorting by skrimish, full/not full, ping things like that.
Honestly, I don't know yet. We're still trying to figure out how it's possible that friends don't see each other i.e. at any one time there are more lobbies active than you are seeing, but how many, I couldn't tell. But sufficient to ensure that at any one time there's somebody to play with (at least whenever I look)
Bit of a bigger bug on this one than we expected but we're getting closer to sorting it out.
