I'd be lying if I said that I haven't seen hundreds of people crowding trying to get into bar 1, and spamming up bar 2 with their "Welcome Annoying Person Smith, Goodbye AnoyingPerson Smith." I'm pretty sure we're all tired of it.
What I propose to you, is that we could have a little square appear when you click on a public area, and it will say
Server 1
Server 2
Server 3
Server 4
Server 5
And so on, It will show how many people are in that location (IE it will say "Server 1 6/10" and there will be a little symbol, maybe 3 little grey dots, that will light up green depending on how many friends you have there.
Maybe for 1-2 Friends 1 Dot, 3-5 Friends 2, and 6+ Friends for 3.
Now onto Lines.
If there's a server filled up but you don't want to go to a different one, then you could press a button under the "Server 1" or whatever that would say "Wait in Line" and when you click, a little window will appear in the top left of your window, saying where you are in line, when someone leaves, the first person in line will get a little popup blue window, and if they accept, they go there, if they decline, they stay where they are and the next person in line is asked if they want to go there.
While your in line, you could continue to go wherever you want, but you can only be in 1 line at a time, otherwise people would clog up all of BTC.
OR
Right now, there can only be 10 members in Bar 1 at the same time. The others will be sent to Bar 2, where the n00bs are living. I'm very tired of entering, leaving and re-entering Bar 2 over and over again, trying to get into Bar 1.
I think that when we enter a Public Location, we should be able to choose room (Bar 1, Bar 2, Bar 3, Bar 4). If a room is full, we should be unable to choose it. Then people will not get annoyed when they hear the door opening and shutting.
Another good thing about this, is that the n00bs (who don't care which room they're in) will just pick a random room, and then the other members could be in safety in another room.

Hey, awesome idea!
I especially like the idea that you can go to other places while in line _________________ Newest Comic - Paranoia |

Really truly need this.
Unlike the Hair Salon, Pet Store, and so on.
This is something we need, it isn't just a desire, it's a requirement.
Am I getting across to you?

Well, let's have en example of a situation.
You have 5 friends online, 3 of your friends are in Bar 1, and the other 2 are in Feather Park 2. You want to go to the place with more of your friends in it, but Bar 1 is full, you then could go to the server selection window, click "Wait in Line" For the Bar 1, then go to Feather park while you wait in your line and hang out with your other 2 friends. Then when your next in line, a little thing will pop up saying "Would you like to enter Bar 1 Now?" and you can click yes, and instantly be taken to Bar 1, or no, and stay where you are with your other friends.
It's not making a commitment at all, you just want to hang out with more people than you would if you went to another location, but the place with more people is full, so you wait in that line while you hang out with your other friends. |

There is both an advantage and a disadvantage,advantage:you won't have to go crowded places,disadvantage:it waistes time since if you're lagging or have very little time to play, you won't want to do it. |
