You act as though there arent real reasons for the backlash. Pull yer head out man!
some things are nice of this update but indeed the amiss of the buddies list is great for quickly finding good servers where a lot of your buddies play on together. Instead of just 1 buddy playing in some empty server.
Whats nice of steam is that it can launch and find ro servers outside of ro although xfire can do that too.
I do like the security things though ^^

This is such a lame and shallow reply. Lots of veterans chimed in here with argumented and well-explained posts, and I haven't seen THEM revert to the good ol' rolleyez.
I can live without the buddy list...my main issue is what's up with the server list?
Before I had roughly 125-135 servers to choose from...now it's down to 20-30!
Are others having the same problem or is it just me?

ACK. Please re-add the buddy list.
Steam integration is a nice feature, but I don't see any disadvantage to keep the old way of finding buddies playing a game. Especially the possiblity to add wildcards to find clans playing was nice.
Another odd problem I noticed is that only one of my five servers running on the same box appears in the steam list. All of them are updated and can be joined the old way in RO.

I still fail to see how the "Steam Friends" thing can replace a simple and easy to use "Community Feature" that the friends list was ( even as simple as it was ). Through i use the steam friends thinngy to keep in touch with people but the older system was just so nice...Still i think it only makes things alot more complicated for a small player base like RO has at the moment.
One of the reasons why I disabled steam ingame overlay when it was added, was that I didn't want to see any distracting messages when I'm playing. Now when I'm pretty much forced to use the ingame overlay, I could maybe turn off the message notifications and other similar options in the Friends tab of the Steam settings. But then I'll lose the functionality that I want when I'm not ingame. I really haven't found a way to have different settings ingame and in windows.
Re update them Ueber, we found a problem where severs on the same IP different port were not showing, and pushed a update out for it.
Thanks to devs for a long-waited RO update.
About buddies list & search, tell me how to use wildcards like [ClanTag]* was in the old way, otherwise let me say that "Yes, I DO HATE CHANGES when the new thing is worst then the old one".
And sorry, but let me unconditionally say that Alt-Tabbing while playing is a really drawback. I don't know your situation, but on my machines I always have to wait about 4 to 7 seconds when I switch from RO to any other non-DirectX apps, and this is really annoying.
Keep up the good work though
