    Keep up the good work!

    Maybe, in addition to designated "friends" (listed first already),
you might keep track of those people the user has either played with
or watched in the past two weeks, and put those people ahead of a list
of everybody else.

    If, in general, the number of people who want to log on exceeds what
the system can handle, it might be necessary to work on "sorry, system
at capacity, please try again later" messages (perhaps you already have
those in place).  At some point, it might regrettably be necessary to
ration hours per week in the system.  On the one hand, I hope this
doesn't happen, but on the other, it seems increasing popularity will
force it eventually.
