I have noticed a recently growing trend of servers to always ensure that the first letter of the host name starts with "a". This makes if very hard to find out which server I am actually joining. I would greatly appreciate it if all server owners simply removed the "a"'s and "a000"s from the start of their host names.

Thanks

So they can be at the top of the list alphabetically.

I always sort my list according to the number of players. I've always done it like that, so for me, it seems pointless for all these a000 servers

so, if you sort by players, wouldn't it make sense to look at the game title right next to it, when you're looking to join one?

I've never looked at the host name, but that's just me..

I usually log onto wol already knowing what server I'm going to play on anyway.

The only way to know which server is better is to sort them alphabetically by host name. It's just common sense.

I was being sarcastic because I think the whole host name thing is just totally fucking dumb.

It's sad when you have to add tons of a0000 and such to get people to play in your server.

Not for me Smile

I always sort by players, as all my favourite servers are 24+ players.

I've boycotted and always will boycott those a00000 servers. It's just sad, and it needs to stop.

The fact remains that you CAN'T stop them though.
