Should servers kick players after the end of each round?

Now this is my theory. If players know they won't get kicked, they may be more inclined to stay thus eliminating on some of the priority kick situations non-premium members face. With 200 SG servers in the US location (that is 4800 slots alone), we have more slots than players thus removing the issues of people not being able to find a full server. Just you may have to wait 10 minutes or longer if the game is in session. EU will get an upgrade next week to handle the demand and is the case as well.

I've played a few games today, and none of them were full when I joined them... Even US1, I was sitting in there for around 10 minutes before the game started.

I don't know much about it, I was only there for the nonkicking for about a week, but it did make it really hard to get in a game, and when you did, it most likely had about 20-30 minutes remaining. I can afford donor, but with the 200 sg servers, it's kind of a waste of money. With the 200 servers, it might make it easier to get in a game, as not many people actually go to the bottom floor, but it might become more crowded. But as Ninga said, it would make playing with friends a bit easier, as I mostly play with my friends nowadays, so I voted 'No' on the kicking. As long as it doesn't cause lots of lag, I'm fine with it. Also, first chicken. Take that tibbles.

i think you should kick the people out to the hub, so regular members have a better chance :D

"not because my donorship is soon over:p"

Well i like the new hub system for one it is so much easier to get in a game! The hub also allows you interact with other people without being in a game. You can meet your favorite youtubers. Theres loads more game types, so in my opinion that the hub was successful but. the only thing i dont like is the lagg it brings but thats what the clock fixes!

I think the not kicking people will bring back a lot of nostalgia from the good ol' days. I remember it used to say something like "742 blocks have been restored to their original position" or something like that. The thing that not kicking people will also bring back is a renewed amount of spectating. In the old days, people would make bets on who would win, and keep watching what happened even after they died. Nowadays 2/3 people leave within ten seconds of dying, and 9/10 people leave within five minutes of dying. I think not kicking will bring the community closer together in a way, (more talking with fellow spectators after death) and maybe even increase overall skill because of the faster spread of strategies through spectating. I'm all for it.

Clarifying: We already kick to the hub in some locations but that is the same as "kicking" from the server. We mean you will just simply be placed back into the server lobby (not the hub) after the games are over.

I think since eu is getting an upgrade next week and us has more slots than players that the system is perfectly fair as it is :)
