In an effort to reduce the amount of traffic hitting the servers I feel a sub menu should be created for the Custom Game menu.

This menu should include the buttons from the bottom of the server list, such as Create Game, Game List, etc. However, do not load the game list by default.

In the event where you want to host a game you end up making this query to the server, often times resulting in the UI stalling for a short time while it makes the request, before your Host game click is acknowledged.

In the end it's just unnecessary traffic. By introducing one more UI screen you could reduce the traffic from those who know they're going to host a game.
