We do it, works just fine, no one complains, and the non-reserved slot users love the system aswell.

Some of you really doesnt have more than just one server... We have 7 servers that are full every day, 200 slots in total. That doesnt come cheap to have, so our community helps by donating money, we give them VIP slots in exchange. Using connect command you would have to everytime search for 8 different server IP, port combination... 8 different keys to remeber all the different servers? Putting 8 servers in main game menu. Thats bullshit and you guys know that. Give me any other option and I will hide the slots. Its like 10 times easier just to connect to the server and you are instantly in. And if you do not know any other arguments, stop talking shit that reserved slots are a bad thing! Reserved slots are the reason the lets us have that many servers in the first place.
