I understand this suggestion would be more work (which unfortunately I just don't have the knowledge to do myself)
But I feel the launcher desperately needs a built in lobby / chat area.
I've seen many voice that, if the current player server is low, they won't join. Which of course is a downward spiral. If a lobby was showing at minimum X# of players are looking to play, but not in a game server, this greatly help populate multiple servers.
*At least, perhaps, add something in the launcher, that reads along the lines "want to see if others are ready to play? Go to our discord server at ...")*
That being said, I feel all servers should be capped to 50 max, maybe even 32. (I know this has been discussed ad neauseum in the past...)
Many of the in game problems go away with less players all playing at once.
