Yes, your theory demonstrates this is true.

Clue: all the graphics in the game reside on your own "front end" and are processed by your own computer. The server doesn't process any graphic detail at all.

Still only 2 servers just like before.

HT didn't split the diff. areans into 4 servers.  Not sure what gave you that idea, but it's still 2 servers just as always.

And to beat a dead horse, graphics and map size are client side, not server side.

The whole premise of this thread is silly.

HT changed to multi arenas to help promote a style of gameplay that HTC want's to encourage.

Sick of Eny?  Fly a diff plane or change sides/arenas.

Simple as that.

I do somewhat agree that squads have been hit, but I think the greatest impact was on the huuuuuge multi-wing squads which was one of the things HTC was trying to "fix" with the arena changes.

Oh god, not another one.
Pieper, just a friendly advice: you better check the details when you make an accusation. An unbased (false actually) accusation is just a whine highlighting an underlying stupidity.

The game after the split is far better. I was on the verge of quitting and I have no such thoughts now. My only complaint is that mid-war is not populated enough, but that is a complaint for the players, not HTC.

edit:
if ENY limiter pisses you off it means that it's working. No point in ENY limiter that is ignored by all.

lol.  don't know what else to say.  don't agree with anything you said, I think most, if not all, of the claims you make are incorrect.  maybe your just trying to make friends?

Also when you say many, how many.  1000, 2000, 5000.  Also how do you know it is many?  What is many to some, may only be a little to others.

The arena split was iniciated because 4 cheap servers fit HT's wallet better than the huge server he had that could handle all of us......since then he has saved up enough money to boost the graphics in each arena.....he thinks this is what we want......lol....the larger maps cannot be supported with the higher graphics on these cheap servers so we have to endure this crappy map rotation until his wallet is fat enough to upgrade to what we want..........I hope......or mabye he will just keep Preying on the Noobs....taking their money since they Know no better.


I think that the arena split is fine....but the servers should be able to handle all players in one arena.....ENY is out of control late at night when the numbers are small, 25 20 10 players and high country has 20 ENY????????what is that........plus the maps are all played out.....If the server can't support a large map....get a better one. We all have to cut our graphics in here unless we are playin with a $10,000 alienware computer...use server strength to support more people and bigger maps.

just want to ad a footnote here.....ENY needs improvment...players stagnant in the tower for some time shouldn't matter.....tanks and planes should have seperate calculations too.


Sorry mate but you have it wrong about servers.  Arena split was due to "slum" play and the fact that HTC couldn't increase the player base i.e revenue.

Can't say I like the split LW arenas and would very much prefer one LW arena but I don't run the business I just use the service.  

OK..Eny can be a pisser off peak with low numbers in an arena perhaps that could be looked at.....somehow ?

On the plus side they have made a fine job of the new terrain plus new and upcoming add ins.

Yayyyyyyy , an eny and arena split whine...... how novel.
Now if peeper would have just added ho and ram whine.  He could have achieved a higher whine score.
 However he scored points on claiming why the split was done. Even though he has no clue how online games work.

Pieper I don't recall ever seeing you in any of the arenas. You do seem to show up in a number of locked BBS threads.

We get that you don't like the multiple arenas or the ENY.

Thanks for sharing...and adios. My guess is you'll be PNG'd by Monday.

No-- the "mind of many" thing comes from all those voices he keeps hearing....

I have, Max. I seem to recall requests for DA fights to anyone who was up for it.
