What is the point to being housed online, if it cannot have a way to connect like a lobby to find gamers. MtGO has a lobby with actual tables you click on. So if everyone is typing in Katakana, then they are Native English speakers? :p Now I must seriously ask you this question, before I can respond to other parts of your post.
