    I uhm.. Okay, I admit it, I'm bad with title making. Let me explain this a bit..

    Generally, what I'm suggesting here is an addition to the /toggle command in game, adding one more thing to toggle: Direct Wynncraft server connecting. Truthfully, I don't know what it would be called, so I'll leave that to the developers, should this be accepted (Hah, those chances). You can also suggest command names in the comments, but myeh. Anyhow, what this means is that you'll directly connect to a Wynncraft game server instead of a lobby. Now, because this could pose many problems, I have some solutions.

    Performing this command may or may not open an inventory with multiple items (items meaning clickable things to use, like the server stained clay) that can toggle various settings that control the command, and a final item that controls use of the command at all. Also, because I have literally no clue how to make those inventories, I can't show you what it'd look like so.. Just picture it in your head. The configuring options for the command are as follows:

    • Pick Lowest Player-Occupied Server - What this means is that when you join Wynncraft, the command will automatically filter to the server that has the lowest amount of players on it, and then puts you in that game world. Useful for players with bad computers or bad internet connections, so that they can connect to the server rather quickly without much lag.
    • Pick Highest Player-Occupied Server - This one means the direct opposite of the above one: It'll force you into the game world with either the highest amount of players in it, or, if there's a 60/60 player count, it'll force you into the next highest server, where if there's a 60/60 player count there, it'll do the same as stated previously. Useful mainly for finding double xp, seeing as those servers tend to be quite filled, due to people somehow thinking it's a nice idea to shout it out with a global shout.. Not like it lags the server a ton or anything with 60/60 people.
    • Pick Specific Server Number - This setting probably will be the most complex to code. It'll work with you clicking the item below it to enable it, and then clicking the item with the property name (In this case, Pick Specific Server Number) as many times as needed to choose the server. For example, if you wished to choose the server 10 to auto-connect each time, then you'd click the block 9 times, making it show the number 10 as the amount of items. If that server is offline..
    • Pick Backup Server Number - This setting ONLY appears if you have the one above enabled, or else it isn't shown, OR it's shown simply with a red wool block as it's enable/disable button (See below for enable/disable colors). Your choice, developers. Anyhow, this setting is quite self-explanatory. If the server number set for Pick Specific Server Number is offline, then the command will route you onto this server instead. The button works the same way as the main one.
    Now, for the buttons used for enabling and disabling, or negating an option. This part is probably the simplest of all of the things in this. It's simply this:
    • Gray Wool Block - This block means that an item is disabled. It'll simply say Disabled when you hover over it.
    • Green Wool Block - This block means that an item is enabled. It'll simply say Enabled when you hover over it.
    • Red Wool Block - This block means that an item cannot be enabled. It'll simply say Invalid when you hover over it. This item will most likely only appear if you do not have the Pick Specific Server Number option enabled, which would therefore negate the need for Pick Backup Server Number option, thereupon that option gaining the Invalid wool block tag.
    That's generally all. I can't explain it much further, and I think I covered it all decently well, so meh. To you developers - I know that this would be a lot of coding, but I personally think that it's an addition to the server that would benefit a few players, and would also make connecting to Wynncraft faster and easier. The only hindrance on this, or downside, that I can see to this command would be if Wizard Fortress was brought back, but then you could simply just disable the command in general with another type of the command, which would then make it so you're sent to the lobby upon joining, as normal.

    Anyhow, to conclude this, thank you for taking the time to painfully endure this extraordinarily long read, this is honestly my longest post on Wynncraft's forums to be honest, and I hope that this at least partially benefits you, should this be added.

    Why? It's not like you can't take 10 seconds out of your life to go into a lobby and choose a server to connect to.

    Truthfully, this could also then prevent getting stuck in fallback lobbies, unless that was fixed. And also, if you're like me, it takes a long time to log into the lobby, then pick a server, since I can only be on servers with less than 45 people or I crash. Anyhow, another good reason why would be, well, say you and a friend always use the same server when you get on. You'd simply be able to just click "Connect" on Wynncraft, and then you'd be all set on your party server. In general, it just makes things faster all around.

    I am kinda indifferent for two reasons,
    One: alright it does save 10 seconds out of your playing time
    But: It will take the developers a long time to code this in, and the only result would be a TIIIIINY little extra playing time for the players/
    now That I have finished writing this, I vote no. also I have other reasons that I am not gonna type.
