I just started a 3 player server and it filled as soon as it hit the metaserver. There's plenty of people.

There seems to be a general shyness to host games. I generally don't because I'm in australia. To host a 4 player game would be to condemn at least one of the other players to inter-continental lag.

SUGGESTION: Add a "idle gamers" counter in the find game screen so people can see how mant others are waiting for games.

votes -= 10E+193;
Hah. Make your vote counter a private varialbe next time :)

(Just kidding. It's probably a good idea. Gives you an idea whether to start a two or four player game.)

Agree. Add an idle players counter.

Is anyone working on dedicated servers, or is the project off, due to lack of a cool name?

Dedicated servers would help.
