Transparent Server Switching, Progress Bars
I issue a request to implement a faster way to execute the serverwarp command. It would simply entail pseudo-logging on to the server, idling in an already established connection with each database, without yet retreiving any client-loading information from it. This would also enable seamless transitions. It would just be a little wait, and then you would be in a different level, possible with the new server's name in the botton-right of the screen.
Then, I'd suggest adding an optional progress bar, running lightly over the users chat-text box, telling the percentage of the new level/server loaded. If not this, there could be a variable that could be fed to a display on a server's system script.
