Keep in mind: These people are paying $100+ a month to provide FREE servers to you, so kindly shut the fuck up and don't play there.

That's a tactic that I'm quite franky surprised hasn't caught on in other games. Naming your server so that it shows up first in the alphabetical listings...

I agree, it is annoying, but there's nothing to be done about it right now, and it really isn't anything more than a mild nuisance. Seriously...there aren't all that many servers out there, and if you're looking for one specific server it shouldn't take too long to find it.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

Player Numbers>Server host name
Server Title(ie marathon or aow)>Server host name
Latency>Server host name....
Just my opinion.
I would rank server host name last....why care at all.

At Jelly we rent a dual xeon 2.8, it isnt cheap to run. If we can find a way to help fill the server we will. We usually run the server as a 48 player and the majority of the time its busy. If Saying our server must suck because we use an a00 pisses you off then you really need to look at that, it isnt an offensive name in anyway, its just a fact that servers get more business when they are at the top of the list.
Look at n00bstories server, when they stuck to the original login their server was never that busy, period. They swapped to an a00 nick and that soon sorted itslef out. If players only seem to join the servers at the top of the list, can you blame server owners who pay $150+ every month for you to play for wanting a busy server ?

It's the same in business of any kind, if you put yourself at the top of the list so people can see you and you offer a good product like we do you will get more custom. It's just down to good advertising, in this instance its just putting yourslef in the public eye.
Just what would you have server owners do. Just stick to a login that sees their server empty, just to please people like you with petty hatreds of a nickname, or use a nickname which means they can justify paying out $150 + like we do ?

You think there's only 6 people in that server? you're sadly mistaken. I went in there when it said two people, and there was eight. It's a Westwood Online/GSA server, which means that the server can be seen in WOL and GSA, but WOL only tells you how many people using it are in the server.

Uh..what's the big deal about some stupid server names...

I myself play on one specific server every time (unless it's empty, though it rarely is) and if so, I check the pings and choose my server from there.

Though, what I'd like to see is something where you could sort the servers by the amount of players the DO have in there. NOT the amount of players there CAN be. I mean..what's the point in that really? You aren't going to join an empty server, which can hold 164 players just because it says so.

Supply and demand. They are simply catering to the fact that most gamers are "lazy". Most gamers "cant be arsed" to expend the effort to SCROLL or actually spend 3 seconds processing visual input to find their favorite server, so they are more likely to join a server that is on the first page, especially near the top. They just want to play, NOW. That means *click* see list of servers and *click* on the first one that smacks them in the face.

Until/unless a client patch can be released to all players to change the default sort, the "a000" phenomenon will continue. I have spent a lot of time brainstorming a solution and there isn't anything "fair" at all to be had.

I'm the bawss.

Is is annoying? A little bit.

Is it annoying enough to post on a forum site complaining about it? I would have to say no.

I know which servers I like, so the a000's haven't affected my decision on where to play.

Why a000000 names could possibly cause offence is beyond me.

It doesn't matter why a player first joins a server, if they like it they'll play there often, if they don't they'll find a different server. If a server with an a00000 name has retarded rules, idiotic moderators etc... people won't go back there just because it has an a0000 name. Flawed argument

There isn't anything fair to be had with the a000 phenomenon either. You all complain about spending so much money on your server that you must get "top of the list" to make it worthwhile for you. What about those who spend just as much money as you, but have the audacity and 'sportsmanship' to keep to a normal name, whilst your servers reap all the players? I suppose it's up to them to get an a000 name, where you in turn get a better a000 name to boost yourself in front of them again. How can you possibly call getting an a000 name fair and considerate to other servers is beyond me, and I think the thread starter has every reason to complain. YES, it's annoying. YES, it's annoying enough to post a topic about it. YES, you should all quit doing it and get some big cojones. What's probably more annoying than seeing the a000 names is how all the a000 owners think we should stop complaining about it. wtf? We're the fucking players they're after...
