Why not? I'm not in mhq but why is it different than other rooms?
It’s the amount of users and servers in the room. When you join it on a new server it needs to process and verify the state of the room and agree it with all the servers. As the state is massive in this room it can take a very long time to join it.

Thx. So the first time the server joins the room it's slow. Any subsequent joins are faster
Correct! Although if you are the only user on the server subsequent joins don’t matter.
