So, people, I had this idea, that, because you always get the same old lobby, it gets kind of boring, same parkour, same view, same fence, meh! I also know that there are a LOT of people who have built great lobbies, so I just put 2 and 2 together to get my idea...

I think that lobbies should circulate, what I mean is, there should be like a few loaded lobbies and every time you go into a lobby, you should have the next lobby up, here's what I mean:
There are, say, 3 lobbies; A, B and C.
Game 1: lobby B is the lobby
Game 2: lobby C is the lobby
Game 3: lobby A is the lobby
Etc.
This would make a nice variation to lobby time making it more fun and enjoyable. This would also make people want to explore the lobbies more, they will look around and find out the lobby's secrets, traps, and more.

Now, this particular idea could cause lag, I'm not sure, so a replacement for my original idea could be this:

Each server should have a particular lobby, not necessarily a unique lobby straight away, but lobbies could be stuck to one particular server for ever, until further notice. This can be like:
EU1: lobby A
EU2: lobby B
Etc.

Following on from the second idea, MCSG could constantly be reviewing lobbies and accepting only the very best ones, the three competing lobbies for the correct place could be a start, then, slowly, MCSG could be adding more and more lobbies until, maybe, EVERY server has its very own lobby!

Now, this idea is open to suggestions, also, your task is to get a developer to notice this!

Yeah that's a great idea! But not too sure on lag and other stuff but this would be cool to see but usually when I get into a lobby I go straight to AFK :D

No because, yeah variety is good but this is just close to overkill. Players would be confused and some may prefer the original because they know it. Why change something when it's working well?

I don't think players will be confused :p Not really an overkill but it could be a nice feature.

It would be fun but its novelty would wear off. People would get irritated at the constant switch and just want one familiar lobby. I know when T.E's lobby was implemented I was lost most of the time because I couldn't find landmarks. It could work, but probably not.

I like the idea and do support it if it were to ever happen, but the staff have previously stated that it's a lot of work to change lobbies. Getting it to rotate, or even make it so some servers have some lobbies, other servers have others would be a lot of work for the developers and staff. So I'm voting could use improvements, simply because I guess I'm at maybe.
