A past problem with servers is that users who want to look up servers had to scroll all the way down to find roomy servers as full servers were at the top. Another issue was that users often want to find a server with their friends in them.
An additional problem was bots using the servers to message and friend request users in attempts to trick people. The current fix was to remove servers and replace them with only servers that have friends in them.
Although this covers the bot issue, this does not fix the other problems. The first friend to join a game could still end up in a full server, and although their friends can find the server faster, a full server is useless to them as they cannot join it.
The adding friends server was a great addition and a long needed feature, so that feature is good. What I am proposing is that you additionally add the feature to see all servers with the emptiest being at the top and the fullest being at the bottom. Additionally, to prevent bots from exploiting such a system again, users would only be able to see how full a server is and not be able to view the users in it.
One way this can be implemented is to allow users to toggle between friend servers and every server, again keeping the emptiest servers at the top of the list. Keep in mind users would only be able to tell how full a server is, and if it has a friend in it.
Another way this could be implemented would be to just show all servers, putting ones with friends in them at the top of the list, then followed by servers with the most room, and then the most full servers at the bottom.
With an update like this, bots would be unable to use the servers to reach active users. With an update like this, it also would give users the ability to find roomy servers if they wish and would still know if their friend is in a server or not. As a bonus, preventing users from seeing who is in a server could also combat ODing as those who wish to break the rules would be unable to see if a server is full of their desired target (Mentioning that since S&I seems to care about that issue).
If this idea can be implemented it would solve the problems listed above. It would keep the security improvement to prevent bots and also solve the problems related users trying to join a game with their friends. |

| This idea would prevent bots from using the servers list to find users, how would they make botting harder than that? |

| They removed the ability to see all games servers. This ###### me off- there was literally no reason to do that. I should be able to join whatever server I want. |

| Terrible idea, the server lists are fine as they were, this new update would be better as just an 'option' on the server page |

Hey, if I were you, I would send ROBLOX an email.
They hardly check these forums anyways. Not to mention they're planning to merge all the major forums together and completely getting rid of the sub-forums (goodbye suggestions&ideas). Send them exactly what you put down here, and I'm sure they'll reply.

| I don't support this at all. This is because hundreds of thousands of players relied on the server list for group events, gatherings, and etc. This update is making me and other players have to spam their friends list to play with others. This was meant for "friends" but it's going the opposite way. To me, Roblox is separating and messing up our groups and our fun. Dear Roblox, if you are reading this, don't waste our 6,000 user suppoerted petition and change it. |

i don't see how "bring back the server list exactly the way it was except with friend servers on top" will fix botting or fix the performance cost issue

I found a similar topic on the server lists, but I never heard of botting ingame.

Bump 3
If people could say what's wrong with this please tell me specifics so the idea can be revised and improved. I can't tell if some of you are talking about this idea or about the current server system. |
