In many games players return to the lobby at the end of each session.
In some, players joining a session that has already started are placed in the lobby until the start of the next. As lobbies consume very few resources they are sometimes additionally used as a "holding pen" for players while a suitable host for the coming session is found. Lobbies created by playlists often have a countdown timer before the session starts, while lobbies created by a player generally transition at that player's discretion. Many matchmaking systems feature a ranking system that attempts to match players of roughly equal ability together.
Games with ranking will usually offer unranked sessions for players who do not want their performance to be recorded and analysed. These are kept separate so that ranked and unranked players do not mix. Some games particularly those with dedicated servers present a list of active sessions to players and allow them to manually select one. This system can be used in conjunction with ranking and lobbies, but is frustrated by the on-demand session creation of playlists. Most of these server browsers allow players to filter the results they provide.
One of the most basic and common forms of matchmaking is providing players with a list of other players who they have met previously and might want to play with again. Each player's status offline, online, playing is shown, the option to join a session in progress is given, and generally it is possible to send chat messages.
In many cases contacts lists are managed by the platform that a game runs on e. Xbox Live , PlayStation Network , Steam to save players the overhead of managing many separate lists for many individual games. In most modern online multiplayer, there is a chat system where people can communicate with others across the globe.
