You should make the game find-able under arcade as nobody looks for RPGs in custom games.
Awesome start, still think it could use some tweaking to make the beginning a bit less harsh.  Could be done in numerous ways here's some ideas:

• lowering/removing the death penalty for low levels
  
• increasing drop rate---at least of slightly better melee weapons than the starting ones
  
• tweaking starting survive-ability--Bob in particular is hard to keep alive...between his low movement speed and limited dps (maybe let him use a few limited ranged weapons?)
  
• allow low levels (0-3?) to revive where they died
  
• maybe make some basic equipment purchasable in shop
  
• be less harsh with difficulty ramp up for multiple players---had 6 people quit within 5 minutes because of how fast everyone died---or perhaps edit the difficulty increase when full of low ranked players--or just less damage/health increase of regular creatures in first part of area 1  (or make an area zero that only gives experience at low ranks and very limited basic drops) (and increasing drop rate for multiple players or at least adding a roll system might help too)
  
• or adding quest(s) doable at rank 0 for equipment/exp
  

Making it more team friendly and something to make the start easier/more bearable and i think more people will give it a chance to be able to appreciate it.

Then again Bob starts becoming much better by rank 3....so probably just some other changes (like low level zone; or reduced exp penalty on death [for low ranks]) to help ease players into it so then they can get the ball rolling and enjoy it more

Didn't expect such detailed response to each suggestion. And I was just mainly too hard before rank 3 for sure and maybe through rank 5...(been too long since i started new without passing on gear). Still easy to find un-survivable groups/combos/minibosses (but that's kinda unavoidable with roaming enemies)

well with full house and rank 0s (particularly with mostly casters) everyone is dieing in like 2 hits or maybe 5 secs...then having to wait 20 secs to revive when they hadn't even gotten started yet--not many will give it a second chance. Not to mention enemies being harder to kill--at least compared to what little each can contribute.---it's probably fine for higher ranks or when 1 person is strong enough to handle it. (only got a full house that one time when i had a level 10 imp and i died after underestimating how much more health they had--by the time i revived only 3 of us were left and one hadn't figured out how to select a character yet and left when he died "from having some oatmeal thrown at him" (baby hydralisk))--my experience could have been atypical/too disorganized

Your planned future update sounds awesome:) 

And completely understand things not being a priority   
and I've already been surprised how long it takes to do anything in the Starcraft II editor--i've given up all my attempts before getting anywhere--i miss the original Starcraft editors and even the Warcraft III editor was much easier to navigate.
