I played around with this a little with a friend thus afternoon. A couple impressions: 1. The voice chat / positional audio works very well. I was impressed. 2. The world is too vast for the current user base. It felt like a ghost town and before my friend joined I wondered if it was broken. There was a 60 on the screen, but there was no one in the rooms. Based on the chat history a lot of people had that experience. 3. Is this federated yet? I couldn't find an option to log in with my own homeserver account. If there was such an option is there a way to make it less scary - every matrix integrated game / tech demo I've seen that uses my account wants me to enter my password in their site and that feels wrong.

1. Thanks! I think we can play with the falloff a bit, but yeah I think so too. 2. Agreed, we erred on the side of caution for this release and made a bunch of public rooms since our per-room cap isn't super high while were still doing P2P WebRTC networking. We may dial this back to just one public room per environment. 3. It is! That first box where you select your homeserver can be typed in and you can put your own homeserver in there. Third Room is the first Matrix client using OpenID Connect which will avoid the whole issue entering your password on someone else's site, but we're still not quite at the point where just anyone can add it to their own homeserver. Hopefully very soon!
