On the second one you can click the brick count for a server preview.

I dont think he means an online server list, but rather one that refreshes automatically

yes

The best way would to split up the data sent to the master server, such as this:
-Brickcount (sent every 5 minutes)
-Playercount (sent every time a player leaves or joins)
-Server Name (every time the server name/other info is updated)
-Ping (???)
Then the client searches for new data every 5 seconds (when the join/leave client is open).

Then the client searches for new data every 5 seconds (when the join/leave client is open).
that seems like alot of traffic for no reason and the master server only updates every so and so either way
what you need is a web service that you keep connected to that sends out little updates when an update occurs

and that service then either has to parse the master list (which defeats the purpose) or have a client add-on that sends data to it from servers
