In the absence of a proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers I would even welcome a single player start for AOW, it works well for the Official Weekly Portal Experiences like World Tour and Conquest of Ages etc.....
At least then all players would have instant access to matches and be able to play, currently players in some regions have no access.
It would eliminate the amount of time players spend in MM lobbies and maximise actual playing time.
Ultimately we need the return of the Server Browser / Persistent Servers, but until then I think what I am suggesting would at least help improve the overall gaming experience.
What do you think guys..........
