Server selection

when we login to the game we see a slider bar of servers, I only have chars on 4 of the servers, It would be nice to see two tabs, one called Active and other Inactive. The Active one would be servers I have chars on and the Inactive would be ones that are empty.
The Active woudl be open by default displaying the servers with toons on.


I seem to have to scroll down now to get to one or two of my server choices now , this would fix this problem.


Fluffy Bunny 1 Person SG
Rabid Bunny 1 Person VG
Both on Pinnacle
Hobbit's Hole 1 Person SG
Spider's Web 1 Person VG
Both on Freedom

Some of us characters (lots of them) on ALL the servers.

So an additional tab only steals screen real estate.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Suggestion seems overly complicated. I'd much rather see something like

Champion (0)
Virtue (12)
Freedom (6)
Justice (18)

This would be nice, even if I tend to only use characters on one server.

Or maybe just the server with the most toons at the top of the list; descending in numerical order afterwards?

And exactly how does that solve the problem of not knowing how many characters are on each server without having to log into each individual server?

if we were going to get all crazy and FUTURISTIC* how about when you mouse over the server name you get a context menu of all your characters on that sever.

Sure, in a game where GUI design's place on the priority list is somewhere down below proofreading for text errors this is highly unlikely...but a goat can dream, can't he?!~?!


*'futuristic' in this case defined as "an idea that's been around less than ten years"

Perhaps something with numbers or a star next to them to let you know you have toons on those servers.
