To solve the problem in driedjello's thread, that vicious cylce thread and my own problem of ruining people's games; I've thought of a solution.

If you want to play a good hard match, Go To USCentral.

East is pretty full and theres always like one match that opens up every few minutes thats 1 star.  If you go online and you have like five people in your friend list who also can't get into game, invite them to central.  Its good for east and west folks. The servers are always empty.  It would leave the lower mmr people to learn without being sent back to base after 30 seconds.   I figure over 2000 would be a good number, at that point you are probably good enough to play some harder matches with only stronk people.

Last night it worked great, got a solid mayhem going.

I also realize this wouldn't work too well if you wanted to play a specific gametype or if you wanted to just run over other mechs

Why would want to run over mechs?

Unless you are taking the literal meaning, then it would be better to invite friends.

I agree.  x9x8x7x and I started a Central server a few days ago by just inviting people and it became a great, full server in no time.  Had a lot of good games over the course of an hour or two

A good point. Central isn't a great choice for European players.

I've been trying central with no luck finding anything let alone a game. The question is when it the best time to be on central?

I have never been able to find a match on Central.  When I go to US Central, all that's there are one or two locked matches that I need a password for (which I don't have).

Message a member of the clans that have those servers. vR's sugar shack is a pretty popular hangout for mid-high tier forumgoers, and they've always been quite accommodating in terms of allowing people to play there pretty freely.
Furthermore, anyone can message me at any time if they've got a couple friends and want to set up a specific game or map, though the easiest way to get into these servers and have some good games is to come out to War Wednesdays, where four of the private servers are used.

If craftydus approved this, there is no need to wait in line.

It's fuzzy bunny APPROVED!

Edited for helpfulness

P.S. It's helpful to give tips to newbs, so they understand it's skill and not $P2W$.

Seriously, just join an empty server. Any time after 5pm and that fuzzy bunny fills up faster than the old queuing thanks to exiles from USE and Central and West citizens suddenly realizing there's someone in the deserted wasteland they call home.
