i visit a few popular servers and after sitting for a long time with the "awaiting challenge" screen, i am curious to the way ET servers handle the queue of people trying to connect. Is it based on say connection speed? where the person with the faster connection will link up and take the slot quicker than the other people.. or say based on the time people have been waiting? e.g someone with awaiting challenge 200 will take the slot over a person with awaiting challenge 50
kthanks

There is no queue. The clients simply try over and over. So ping doesn't have a huge effect. You used to be able to speed this up with timescale, I'm not sure if that still works in et or not.

Won't this lag the server for the ones playing?
Sounds like a really bad feature.
