on a side note, when i really want to get into a certain arena, and wait and refresh it every like 2 seconds how come it can go from say 220/220 to 221/220 then back to 220/220 and then like 223/220 in a matter of say 5 seconds?

Well I figured that lol, but is it just like that when it drops to 219 for the sake of the example, that like 2-4 click to get in at the same time, and the server doesn't know who clicked first so it lets them all in? I'm just wondering how when it's already full, more people seem to get in just like that.

Basically yes.
Everyone who is seeing 219/220 can get in, even if that would be 10 people at a time.

If the server would only let in the first/fastest one to click, there would be a lot of complaints: "WTF? Server says 218/220 and when I try to join it's full???"

I'm sure you wouldn't like to see a free slot you can't use

218/120 when you've got a lot of squaddies in the arena is a sorry sight.

update:

full again125/120..

blue arena has 74/170

infact the orange arena has the most people, but has the least quota/room of all the rooms..

thanks, lusche -- I've wondered about this, and your explanation makes excellent sense!
