  • Publication number: 20140274362
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for recommending a list of players for playing an online game. The method includes receiving a request to join an online game currently being played by a plurality of players. In response to the request, player attributes of the plurality of players playing the online game are gathered, in substantial real-time. A subset of players matching at least two of the player selection parameters with the player attributes of the players, is identified. The subset of players is returned as a list of recommended players to a client device for rendering. The returned list includes options to select one or more players and to join the selected players in playing the online game.
