So there have been many questions about the MWOlobby.com website in the past few weeks, and the site creator Tenbatsu has been hard at work tweaking things and making sure everything is up and running for the start of private matches. So Darthspoke and I decided to do a quick walk-through of the site and all of the options available.

We had a pretty good turnout last night of people hopping on and and chatting, a lot of old MSN Zone players reminiscing about the good old days. I am really excited that the community from back then can get together and have fun with Mechwarrior Online in this type of environment.

So all that being said, we hope you enjoy it and please, log in and get involved in this awesome community of Mechwarriors we have here in Mechwarrior Online!

*Edit: 4/29/14 Have updated the walk through vids to show new features and break down to smaller vids

MWO Lobby has been up since February of 2013, don't worry, it's not going anywhere!

The lobby is still in development and I'm adding new features and bug fixes almost every day when I can find the time. We have some big ideas for it; mainly integrating a realtime league/ladder directly into the lobby.

I want to have at least the basic structure for the league launched by the 29th in time for the advent of private matches. An optimistic goal I know, however, even if I miss this deadline I will have a league up and running shortly thereafter. The recent surge in popularity has me fired up and excited to work on the code.

Get signed up and be part of the scene!

I have a suggestion why not code it right now to play mechwarrior4 mercenaries stock or PR1 patch or the mektek mod like on GameRanger ? Many old players would come over and play MechWarrior Vengeance, Black Knight,or Mercenaries until MWO decides to allow Private Matches in the future.

There are still a few hundred that play the old MechWarrior games and are active.
You could have multiple lobby's not just 1 for MWO.

That is a really interesting idea KingCobra, I will pass it on!

but, as far as I know Private Matches for MWO drop on the 29th!

Well I joined it. Lets see if it actually is a viable thing considering they rely on PGI.

No, we do not rely on PGI, they have nothing to do with the Lobby. It is all coded and designed by Tenbatsu, a free-agent fan. The only thing we could say we rely on PGI for is that they hit their release date for private matches.
The Lobby is closing in on 700 registered users now, and the chatting is almost constant between logged in users. It's a great way to get to know people that play this game with us, so if you haven't signed up yet, come on over and join the community!

BUMP...this is fantastic. I'm bout to advocate the shit outta this tool!

PS it would be cool if there was a Teamspeak plug-in that just opened a browser, logged you in, and plopped you in the main lobby.

Thanks TL... Tenbatsu is working on Linkifying TS3 server links so you can put it in the info of your room and people can just point and click.

*EDIT*

And Ecliptor as well.

Hello I'm having problems getting into your site. I've tried two different browsers and I still can't log in. I've tried logging in and it says that I have the wrong password, I try to reset the password and it doesn't send me an email all it does is ask me again for the email. I've tried a different email It does the same thing.

I think when private matches go live there will be a BIG return in more players joining tournaments and leagues. Which hopefully will create some cool and unique opportunities for other companies to maybe seek support from MWO fans by creating a sponsored tournament between them and MWO. Russ has already stated he is looking forward to helping out the tournaments and leagues already out there.
