As a minimalist, I think that the multiplayer lobby has alot of wasted areas and could be way more officient.

Currently, you can only see 4.5 servers and that becomes 3.5 if you open filters. (which makes it a pain to change filters because you always have to open/close)

5min of messing around in photoshop and I kinda made this, I fit everything including the filters and one extra server showing, and still there is a big empty space on the left for more.

Of course there would be other ways of doing this, one idea that came to my mind was making a list somehow like the userlist, showing two servers per line, or even three by using a format similar to this:

Imagine having 12-15 servers per line instead of 4-5

i can't find the back menu button :o

the way it already is is fine IMO. 1 server wouldn't matter so much, and if you ever plan to use the filter, you can fitler off lots of servers

Back button is actually there twice, once behind the chat on bottom left and once in the middle left (default lobby that is), if you look closely. Let's not forget that you can also go back pressing Mouse4 or ESC. But yes it wouldn't be hard fitting another one if it's really necessary.

Also, I don't know about you but I toggle filters very often and it get's really annoying.
The example I always use is, IE/Firefox

Ofcourse, IE does the job of browsing for most people, and they argue why they should use Firefox, and this is the same, there is no reason for having so much wasted space when you can have it setup in a more efficient way.

But yes, this was only one suggestion, but I'm sure there would be many other ways of designing this.
