Server Queueing (client sided)

[tobibodamer]

When trying to join a server that is full add the user to an artificial queue and repeatedly try to join the server.

• Display in the UI that the application is waiting for a free slot

• Allow user to force join (in case something is bugged)

• allow user to cancel Queue

• Repeatedly request game server info until a free slot is available (not try to get rate limited)

• Send 'disconnect' to make sure user is not in game

• (Alternatively display a notification that a free slot is available and confirm to connect)

• Connect to the server

• If in the meantime somehow the slot is taken again, repeat

• Allow enabling queueing for empty Servers (let user configure min players to Join) (would work even better with quickplay)

Multi Server Queueing / Quickplay:

• User selects multiple servers / filter
• Gets connected to best ping / free server

We could use free cloud services in order to make the Queue legit (Queue has no order ). I would suggest https://www.cloudamqp.com/ , which has a free plan for RabbitMQ and I think is a good option to materialise the Virtual Queue into something more fair . We may use the RabbitMQ for any other features, such as the Matchmaking server
