About 2 months ago, (July?) we had a new server list update that only showed servers if your friend(s) are in that specific game. Many people hate this update, but fail to realise the good purpose of the update. Open your eyes people.

This update is very good because now:

1: You can now join your friends in a game with ease. Before this update, if you pressed the play button on a game your friend is in, it would bring you to a random server instead of the server your friend was in.

2: It eliminated the hassle for the Roblox engineers to maintain the server lists. Before this, it took a lot of effort to maintainence the server list for the engineers. This also took a long time to load the server list, making a bad user experience.

3: With this update, not only did it improve seever matching by making you join a server with the best ping for you and the nearest local server for good connectivity, but it also completely eliminated bots from sending you friend requests and messages.

4: This also eliminated the chances of actual profile stalkers viewing your profile via the server list. It's called saftey people.

5: This also eliminated the chances of exploiters joining other servers when they finish exploiting the server they go to, so they're stuck in the server they joined at.

And before you say you used the server list to join small servers or to raid with groups, stop. You didn't. The server list was an obsolete feature and needed to go away.

There are so many workarounds, such as game owners making a match making lobby gui in their game to join other servers, group owners too, etc. The server list was useless, game owners are able to make a server list gui within their game, making the server list tab useless.

'And before you say you used the server list to join small servers or to raid with groups, stop. You didn't. The server list was an obsolete feature and needed to go away.'

but if you were involved in any form of clan/group, that actually was a legitimate thing. 'pending' for the full server to raid was legitimately that

though, yeah, things can be handled in that regard by following one of the users in the game, but i had to throw my two cents in because that was a legitimate thing dude

i agree - for the most part, it wasn't a bad update, just somewhat disruptive if you got used to the old way

@feru

No you didn't. When Roblox removes a feature, people like you be saying BUT I USED THE SERVER LIST FEATURE ALL THE TIME, boy shut up. You all be saying the same bull crap everytime they remove things. Get a grip.

They added a feature where clicking play would automatically put you in a friends game before they added the "friends only server list" update, but your other points are pretty good I guess.

@Bobbily, so I presume then that you've seen through my eyes and know exactly what I've done in the past? Alright, you've come to this astounding realization, but, maybe you shouldn't be so close-minded either. Not everybody does the same things you do, and Not everybody says things just to blend in with the crowds and be #relatable.

The bitterness is real (from me, I mean). Grrrr.

I actually agree with you, the only thing I hate about the list update was I can't join a random server when I play games with long rounds/hacked games/loser servers/friend servers

The update could be worse, but sometimes my friend would be playing the same game, so I would join a different server.

All in all tho, it's not too bad, people just don't like change...
