Heh.. it was funny.. getting a coffee at B&N and thought "Heck, might as well see if I remember how to read".. instead I was looking at pictures.. Pages and pages of great graphics, 3-D games, and whatnot.. all the sudden.. "Hey! What's that! I know that game!"..

Crossfire! Yey!

That's been a blessing and a curse (pun intended).

The curse (and blessing) with CF is that it has 10s of servers. and no real ranking in the client. More multiplayer play means more people should try one server.

are you suggesting that when displaying a list of servers to connect to the client should sort it by nrof clients signed into the server? So, for example to play on crossfire.metalforge.net you alwys hit 1 ? (apart from the rare server crashes)

Yes. There should be a ranking system by the number of connections and frequencity of visits to particular servers. The more players on one server, the more chance the'll spot a bug. And I'd love to see metalforge not lag, but more players means more connections, which means optimizing code is now needed too.
