Post subject:  Possible "Map Random Rotation" for Online Servers?

I know there is a regular reset for the servers twice a day I think?
Is it possible to Randomize the Map Rotation?

For those of us that have, jobs, school, kids, or limited time in general to play gaming is often fitted in between other obligations. So it leads to playing regularly during certain times of day. And like myself playing during US West evening hours usually, it means I often return to the restart of the Map Rotation, so almost all of my RWR time is spent on Mooreland Trenches, Keepsake, and sometimes Fridge Valley. If I'm lucky we can push through a few, but I know I regularly meet up with others that play at about the same time and are regularly faced with the same few maps over and over just due to daily routine an timing.

Just curious if it's possible to put in a Map Rotation Randomizer setting for Public Servers?
Or some RWR smart way to counter this issue a bit. I love all the maps by now... but man I wish I could get a little more love on the other maps.

It's possible all right, easily even, Classic probably has all the script needed for that already.

Right now I'm completely stuck with client side work, need to get the client side game frozen as soon as possible so that we won't create any more bugs or crashes there.

^ NP, I know you guys are working hard on trying to get to v1.0.
If it's possible to revisit this idea later it may be worth while. A little map mix up on the Official Server rotation would be nice. Sometimes many of us only drop in for a little while regularly too, and so it's usually one map. And often around the same time so there's a good chance it works out to be 1 out of the 2 or 3 being played during whatever time window.

Also maybe further discussion about the idea of also Rotating Factions on the Official Servers as well.
As discussed before, not Switching Factions every map or so, but every couple of Real Time days, or after the entire map list is played through.
