armor games, you know that button you used to have that displayed a random game on the website and took you to it? it was on the new games and popular games page, and id like it back. that little perk on that page led me to a lot of games i enjoy or enjoyed playing, and when i saw it get replaced by the featured games button that showed random MMO's, i was very disapointed<--(did i spell that right?) if you guys could possibly bring that back, that would be awesome. please consider it.

I heard a while back that they removed the random game option, because it was a load on the ArmorGames.com servers. It slowed down the site, caused users to get upset, harder to maintain as the user load rapidly increased. I am not positively sure if this is the reason, i just remember hearing about it.

You heard correctly, the server had to keep generating a random number every time a user loaded the page, and with thousands of users loading the page over and over again until they found a good looking game, it got pretty intensive on the servers.

I would like something like this,but more like a game of the day.It wouldn't change when you refresh or leave the same but stay on 24 hours until the next day.

Thats a good idea, Supermape.

A new version of AG is coming out. If you want you could suggest a 'random games' or a 'game of the day' option here.
