Most people I talk to only seem to play in a few different servers so I'd like for us to be able to create our own favorite servers list, and those servers would appear at the top of the server listings.

Randomize it by default.

You can mark the clanwar servers as your favorites.

I know it wont be changed since the main people in this group of programmers have the a0000 names and they do not want to loose their spot. So I can put money down that this will never change. The people who are working on this project don't want to work on something that will drop their player count....

Just think up a different way that is fair, without making it random (as that would make every server get 2 or less players..)

 You and I both know that anything that would split up those top a000 servers would NOT be fair in TT developers eye's. You made me chuckle when you said that.
BTW, I'm not saying this because I want to throw a few servers up...I just find it a little bit funny that all these improvements is being made except the server browser a000 issue. Everyone, except the owners of the a000 nicks, wants to see something different. I hope it's fair to say "everyone', if people disagree then I'll take that comment back.

Seriously, if you come up with a good idea, it will get implemented.
But as you might know or not know, in the Serverowners subforum we've had this discussion over and over again.
CONCLUSION: It's indeed not fair.
IS THERE A FAIR SOLUTION? No, or at least none we know of.

And just to clarify....it's not fair to shuffle up the servers? To me that makes no sense at all. If people enjoy those servers they will continue to play on them regardless if they are 1st up or dead last. I know that I'll continue to play on n00bstories/unrules server regardless of their rank in the server browser. I think it is completely fair to shuffle them up, why wouldn't it? It's a false belief to think that all the popular servers will drop down to 2 players because they aren't shown first in the server listings. People remember the servers they like to play on, and thus will find them (That's how it is for me).
I appreciate your concern and willingness to speak out about this EvilWhiteDragon!

I honestly don't care how the servers are listed, it's my opinion that if people like the server they'll look for it.
On the other hand though, if I'm wrong and many people really do just join the first servers they see then that will split the server population and we'll end up with less players per server; I think everyone can agree that's not good if we want Renegade to last.
The only thing I actually like about having the list alphabetical is that we can group our servers so they appear above/below each other.
Having favorites at the top just makes things a little quicker for everyone to join specific servers without the need to direct connect.
