Because it was only referring to one of 6 NAT servers, so the data wasn't accurate. It was used during beta and people were drawing incorrect conclusions form it (namely that the game is unpopular)

One of the locked threads from yesterday has a post from Forgboy saying this.

I browsed the forums whilst there were no aus custom games running, and had opengames.aspx open in a tab.

It made it much easier to join an aus game when it updated every minute, not much bandwidth required either.

May i suggest, if it isnt too hard, to have the open custom games list somehow displayed on this demigod forum?

two birds with one stone?

It may just be they are updating the whole page to be more in line with the other cool looking pages for the 1.1 patch.

So we can't expect a list based off all of the servers instead of the old one?

It was pretty useful.

I had demigod open at the same time, on the custom game screen.

There was never a custom aus/nz game lsited that wasn't on that site.

Maybe it was the asia pacific server.

But the most useful thing was definately the starting country prefix. Knowing that a simple "3v3 no noobs" titled game was actually australian cause it was listed as (au)3v3 no noobs, without havng to load up impulse and use their system.

Could ingame custom games be fitted with a country prefix?

+1 for seeing a similar list based on all the servers. It was cool to see a visual/numerical representation of the community at the time.

Loading impulse doesn't take long plus you can directly join a game saving time.

Well, we will get it back, as Frogboy's recent journal entry is saying .
