Fast and Jochi... couldn't agree with you more.

in STW original, it was a game that literally.... should have died many months before it eventually did. The reason it didn't..... dedicated clan that kept the main foyer alive night after night. Clans who recognized each other, respected each other, and although competitive, could come together as a whole and save the STW game for as long as they could.. simply because they kept meeting up in the lobby.

Every Clan leader pretty much knew who the other clan leaders were... now.... no one knows anyone anymore and if you're not a friend on Steam then too bad so sad.... can't say "hello" anymore in the lobby to everyone unless it's a friend chat... then again, will they find it aggravating getting a pop up during game... dunno.. but you both hit the nail on the head.... without a foyer for games such as this..... the game will die much quicker than previously....
