        That's just fallout from our DDoS related changes. We did not turn it off intentionally. It might come back at some point in the future.
        Unless people actually confirm that the general community behavior has improved due to this.

          Well, they were useful for knowing who might lag. If only in-lobby pings worked properly...

              We put the lobby server behind a websocket-to-tcp bridge. Now the lobby server sees the internal bridge ip for all users.

                I like the flags. I like meeting people from our worldwide and getting a hint on language and location. I hope it comes back
