Suggestion: Sign in and make game (immediately)

So, here's a suggestion to get more games going:

When you sign in to Wippien, create a game if one doesn't already exist.
(That way, no one has to wait for someone to ask someone to create a game.)

Good idea!  Also, you can make the game, minimize it while you wait, and then if someone sees your game they can join it and pm you on wippien if you're not at the game screen.  That way you don't have to feel like you're stuck waiting at the map selection screen.

I think a FO dedicated server would be even better.  if we could have a game server where whoever enters first is the "host" and sets up the game.  we could actually have another one open up as soon as one is in use, but that could be overboard sence not that many people play.

it would be great if we could make it forum members only, but thats just my preference.

  A chat room would be great, just like the one in the gamespy lobby. It's the feature i miss most.

yeah, an open chat room would  help with knowing who is actively playing, who is actually there, and such

Pretty sure this has been suggested before to rapturous support, but when the issue of paying for it arises people kinda of trickle their enthusiasm away quietly

Just out of curiosity, just how much would it be to have a dedicated server for FO?  One that could work for everyone, etc.?
