well, I chose the 3rd option, even though that may seem lame; but since I can't make games, I can't afford the time to wait around 30 minutes to play for less than 10...
However, I'm not much of an MP player anyway; I played little MP even way before RTW was officially announced - and I had the same problem, not being to create games.

Another possibility is that the MP community didn't just "desert" to the other side, but it's simply a temporary recoil... but of course I'm just guessing now.
