here’s another idea i got from reading recent posts …
what if instead of a mega server – all matches are pre-set but greyed out
one division is made for max population
one for mid population
and a light weight division.
from there , each match can list out names of guilds or players populating that match for the week. this way you aren’t forced into a mode you don’t want to be in or matched up with random players.
so say – 2 high level matches 3 mid level matches and 5 light level matches
enough to match the current population scheme, but allowing people to choose which match they wish to play in from week to week. – each one with different population caps to ensure balance.
