Arena caps
« on: November 22, 2006, 12:17:00 PM »
Hi!

Didnt follow the Arena changes lately, but I just tried to log on, and the late war arena is capped at 120ppl. Very low i think.
But there are 160 ppl inside.

What gives? I mean, how did the last 40 ppl get in? Do the caps change?

The other arenas are more or less empty...


Are there any docs on how the arenas are set up now and how this is supposed to work? Please point me in the direction.

Thanks.

I am pretty sure the caps are dynamic in the LW at least, meaning when one gets full enough the cap on the other LW arena is raised, kind of leap frogging eachother.  The excess numbers are from folks in one arena leaving and dropping the cap in the more populated one.

What probably happened -

There would have been more in the other arena, the caps leapfrog each other.

If people leave one the other arena cap drops also.

So there were enough left the other arena to drop the cap to 120 on the one you were looking at, even though there were 160 logged into it.

Hope that makes sense.
