Protocol:Packet 0x08
The login server sends Packet 0x08 to inform the client of the list of game lobbies available to join when a user goes to the lobby information counter to join a game.
The clients send a very simple Packet 0x08 while in the lobby when they wish to receive the list of game lobbies available.
