32 is fine but what about infinitely large?

(note: this is my eventual intention, and not actually a troll. small steps, though)

Seems to be an awesome idea for infinite game rooms. Still it will be kinda weird with the UI seeing If you drag it, Mods stay in place.

Imo there needs to be a way to "resize" the room after creating it if you're planning to increase the limit.

At the moment the room host cannot "expand" the room once created so some people are inclined to create a room unnecessarily large. I don't know if there's impact on server with this practice (I'm assuming there is) so the ability to resize the room will become quite important.

As for the use of larger capacity: it could be handy for qualifying stages of tournaments. Less rooms meaning less referees required.


EDIT:
Even if there's no impact on server, an oversized room could be potentially annoying: imagine having 12 players in a 64 slot room and a few of them decides to scatter. Although the Ready button now shows how many are ready, it doesn't tell you who doesn't have the map or he/she is downloading at all. Having to scroll through vast space isn't exactly pleasing. Once again the ability to "expand" the room after creating it becomes important as it may discourage oversized room.

I expirienced Multiplayer as "the more the merrier", so infinite size rooms would certainly be a really nice option to the 8 player maxed ones.

There should be some additional options available, i think; for example the already in another post mentioned "free play", so everyone gets to play his/her difficulty when there are really like 25 players in the room. I believe it would be a pretty rare scenario to have a room of more than 15 players on approximatley the same skilllevel.

Also, the new "How many Players are ready when forcing start"-thing goes well with this idea.

For Coop/Team-purposes, it would also be nice to actually choose which team you are on, rather then just be put in blue/red depending on your slotnumber.

Aaaand to maybe avoid anonymous flooded rooms, maybe the possibility to promote/demote players, giving them or taking from them the right to invite other players. Depending of the Room's Settings and such.

But over all i would really like to see this happen.

If join rate tends toward superlinearity, this could create black holes. Are you sure about this peppy?

There's should be a limit though (can't say the specific number). Handling a lot of data at once is a bit much. Just don't divide by zero please.

Also, t/108243 should nicely complement this feature request.

Edit: Someone already had the same idea :3 t/212824

On the result's page though (dunno if someone already tried), but when I try to review each player's results, I can only check the top 9 players, can't access the lower ones. Sure be nice to make that scrollable. 1366x768 (mine) and 2560x1440 (other person) both seem to display 9 players max (correct me if I'm wrong).

We need some place for judges. They don't play, only spectate for players. Useful for tournaments, i think

I worried with this idea. The game could be lagged so much if the players who join the game are too much.

Yes assuming that peppy is a retard. You don't have to worry, he wouldn't let it pass if it lagged a lot.

I don't care for it, but if you can make it work, I don't see why not.

I agree.

The idea is not bad, but this kind of rooms needs more moderation options because of the possible high number of players.

I think the power to create and host an "infinite room" should be restricted to the Staff members (GMT, Language Moderators, etc.) because they are mature and accustomed to manage a large number of players.

A timer should be installed too, which starts when a new map is selected and starts automatically the game after a number of seconds defined in the map options.
