Server Max BS

[TowDog]

You know, sitting here repeatedly trying to log into Orange Arena where everybody I know is, looking at the server max (currently 255/100), give us a break already!
Most of the folks logged on currently aren't even actively flying, they just stay logged in all day because it's such a pain to get back on.
Is there some bored admin messing with people, or is this an automatic thing that can be bypassed somehow?

Yeah, in other words, it never changes

I think it's 'unfair' the way it is, and I think that it would also be 'unfair' to kick people who haven't been doing anything for some amount of time.

I think the solution would be to send inactive players into some sort of "waiting mode" whereby they are removed from the roster list (and the server max 255/100 or whatever would go down to 254/100), and other players are allowed to join.  Then, when that player became active again, the server max would become 255/101.

I can't think of any disadvantages for my idea (yet).

Search for "arena caps".

I have to sympathize with TowDog, It's kinda dumb when the max is lower than the number of folks trying to log in. I spent 15 minutes the other night waiting to get in while I looked at the Early, Mid War and A vs A arenas sitting there with a handful of folks playing and the max at 350. A bit of overkill there I think. 
Those arenas could easily be set to 150 and apply the bandwidth to Orange and Blue arenas

It's not about bandwith.

Lowering the EW caps to 150, 100 or even 50 would have NO influence whatsoever on LW arenas.

Well, I looked it up and from what i gather it's to force people into other arenas
It ain't werkin fer me!
I'm NOT interested in Early War or Mid War or Axis vs Allies. What I am interested in is Late War Orange and Blue.  Everyone is big on ìt`s my 15 bux and I`ll play the way I want!, but it would seem that doesn`t apply in this case

you guys might not agree with him...but imo i think the area cap thing is a bunch of crap
and i think the food at mcdonalds is crap as well but i still pay for it...oh well

Not trying to defend Arena Caps, but one LW arena is always open to join

In the last couple of weeks I've been hit the arena cap BS pretty hard. Like the OP said, try to log into LW Orange and it's at 250/100. Well, I guess I'll have to go to LW Blue since it's at 50/150. The place is a ghost town and the map sucks as well. I guess it's good as a time as any to take up drinking.

Go meet some new people.........
