1. A method for generating a graphical user interface (GUI) for execution on a plurality of user devices, the GUI including a map for a set of applications in a gaming environment executable on the plurality of user devices to facilitate interactions between a corresponding user device and a game server, the method comprising:
measuring a number of users currently interacting with a first application of the set of applications across the plurality of user devices;
generating a first icon for the first application so that a first display characteristic of the first icon is based on the measured number of users currently interacting with the first application;
measuring a number of users currently interacting with a second application of the set of applications across the plurality of user devices;
generating a second icon for the second application so that a second display characteristic of the second icon is based on the measured number of users currently interacting with the second application; and
generating the map including the first icon having the first display characteristic and the second icon having the second display characteristic,
wherein the first display characteristic comprises one of a height, a color and a size of the first icon in the map and wherein the second display characteristic comprises one of a height, a color and a size of the second icon in the map.
