All thats different is that the total numbers per arena are less (like mornings EST anyway!) and that the entier planeset can be used by more people (not just reserved for the experts.)
actually, wipass was spot on.
The community has now been fractured.
Setting up a early and late war arena would be a good idea, but keep the MA the way it is.
By doing so, one would soon see that everybody would rather fly in the MA as it is (proof of that would be the AvA arena), and a small, core group of pilots would fly in the early, mid arenas.
This has been proven time and again.
Why HTC would split up the community for the needs of a small core group is beyond me.
