change select character approach

in this game, after login, the game will try to show a full list of servers, then you pick the server, pick your character and play

 

problem: loading a servers list took a longgggggggggggg time.

practically all players except those who new or haven't created a character yet, will not interested to see or choose another server.

they already have 1 or few characters stick to certain server they want to straight away to pick up and play.

 

 

in another game (wow), once you created a toon, the next time you login, the game will show you created toons, instead of showing you a list of servers. you just simply select the toon you wanna continue and play.

The game will automatically try to select the last server you were logged in to. But if that server is offline or you disconnected from it, manually or through a timeout, then it will show the full server list. There may be other circumstances such as an error or crash when it will fail to auto-select the server.

I wonder, could it be due to I'm playing on Asia server?

because the default servers list has 2 default tab, US and Europe.

The 3rd tab appear only when the list is filled.
