While the player count of "currently connected players/total connected players in all time" is a useful metric for the game to have as a easy way to determine a server's popularity, there needs to also be a way to display if a limiting value has been set in the new DefaultSlots network parameter, as how every other slot based online game operates.
I would propose that, if a value other then the default of "no limit" (-1) is set, then the "/connected players in all time" number in the server browser should instead change to show the value of DefaultSlots.
A possible addition to this is to also show the number of reserved slots as a third number in brackets such as (5) after the regular player count number, to also inform people at at glance that out of the maximum X number of slots, that Y of those slots are reserved for specific individuals.
