I never use "Get New List". I always just "Refresh" with the same filters: No Empty, No Full. I'm probably going to one of the same six or seven semi-trusted servers I frequent anyway. When I want a new list, I change one of the two filters, and allow Empty or Full, and that has pretty much the same effect as getting a new list. It's been my experience (going back to Tribes1 and Unreal1) that that option sucks, because it sporadically does weird things like that. Refresh just works better. Every now and then, allow either full or empty or both. Purely anecdotal and totally unscientific, but that's just the nature of experience.
In other words, I'm just looking for servers with two-digit ping, who I'm not afraid of (either because of GUID-spoofing or over recent statements concerning Trojans), where they have somewhere between ten and 36 players on: OPP, BG, SST, D*S, (not that other public server which shall remain unnamed), and one or two trusted clanservers (from among a constantly shifting amalgam of seven or eight candidates).
Yeah. Refresh!
P.S. I just wanna know what map SST is on anyway. It's probably not full. Or empty.
