[Suggestion] Multiplayer Lobby

[Sour Cream and Onion]

I remember reading about this somewhere so I decided to make a thread about it.

Many people agree that people playing warband are turned off by servers with good settings being empty. So if a lobby where all the players browsing the servers could talk was implemented, people could find other players who are looking for a similar gamemode/settings and they could populate a server.
I'm not gonna join an empty CTF server because, well its empty. But say I found a few other people who wanted to play CTF and we agreed on that server. Viola, increased playerbase

Yes, just say in the chat: Hey, anyone up for F&D? Join me on blargh blah blurgh

 

[Ceolwynn]

An innovative idea! You've earned yourself a reward!

 

[FrisianDude]

Sounds okay to me. Except that you said 'viola.' I don't see what a viola has to do to with this.

 

[McBeverage]

I like it, as long as copy&pasting is disabled in the chat.

Don't want to see

like you may see in other games.  (no offense france)

Disabling copy paste shouldn't be done and can end up being more of a hassle than its worth. Especially if I'm trying to share things with my friends and want them to copy things (look at my awesome youtube video etc). Problems like your describing can be defeated with anti-spam filters, and character limits per message.

Instead allow players to post clickalbe links to servers once every couple of minutes. By making the clickable link the preferred way to get people to come to your server you can cut down on the spam. You can have the lobby automatically post which server you just joined when you do join a server as well so people can easily follow you.

As someone who plays MP a lot and rents two servers, I definitely would like this. It'd help me find a server, and help my server's popularity

To be honest, it wasn't my idea. I read about it in another post and saw it wasn't mentioned here.

 

[Marcus Brutus]

This is a very good idea.

I remember posting this idea in some thread, so...

Ah, well good idea madoc

I also wanted to add that I've seen games with lobbies that don't allow copy/pasting, and it got annoying if we wanted to give clan websites or use online translators etc., so perhaps allowing copy/pasting but having an anti-spam filter that prevents spammers from posting?

EDIT: I see that's already been mentioned. Well then I support that idea. I also like the idea of the chat posting which server you went to. Perhaps even a "join game" option?

 

[MadocComadrin]

Yeah, I like the  a join game idea. Also, maybe throw in an in-game friends list that would allow people to invite others to a server.

Very simple and a great idea! Surely it cant be too hard for them to add that into multiplayer?
