I would reorganize Minerware and PoF into a new "Arcade" lobby, that gives enough creative freedom for any arcade-ish games that might come in the future.
Honestly a new Arcade lobby is a pretty good idea and would work a lot better than my Battle Arena lobby idea from earlier (I consider my Battle Arena idea not ideal anymore)
Unfortunately, Minerware and Pillars of Fortune being in the same lobby means that the Minerware sign would have to be changed out for a new Arcade sign, and the lobby may or may not have to be changed too.
Aside from that, Minerware already stands pretty well on its own, especially considering the fact that the game has its own
Rank. A lot of work has been put into Minerware through updates which is something that’s not as likely to happen with Pillars of Fortune
I’m thinking that Pillars of Fortune would work best
in its own lobby, but instead of the lobby being solely for Pillars of Fortune, it would be an
Arcade Lobby.
To add to this concept, an
“Arcade Rank” could be created for the games in this lobby. Pillars of Fortune currently has Rank features in it related to the Beta Games subscription, and those features are most definitely going to stay.
If Minerware and Pillars of Fortune were both in an Arcade lobby, then a Rank system would be somewhat confusing as Minerware already has a Rank of its own and Pillars of Fortune is too small of a game to get an exclusive Rank*. A Rank could be made that covers every Arcade game in the lobby except for Minerware, but that would cause division among the games as well as some confusion.
This is why Pillars of Fortune should be placed in a new and separate Arcade Lobby in my opinion. It would also open up the opportunity for new Arcade Games, like suggested by Eli

In my opinion, giving Pillars of Fortune its own Rank would be like giving SkyWars Solo its own Rank. Both games have a good playercount, but they also cannot stand on their own. This is also why there shouldn’t be a lobby made only for Pillars of Fortune
