a common behaviour due to the pages and pages of games waiting to be filled is to create a lot at once. some will fill early but the rest will progress to the front where you hope some will fill before they expire.


This is news to me... I used to have games waiting for +2 months to fill and they never expired?

Public games do not expire at all. Private games are the only ones that can expire.
Highest Rank: 26 Highest Score: 3480 ‹Metsfanmax› rds is clearly unqualified.

Thanks for clearing that up.

MERGED with your identical suggestion. The new Join a Game page reduction (collapsing identical games) should lessen the problems that the OP is concerned about.
