There is a bit on the Arenas wiki page on this...

The Aces High arenas use a dynamic or floating limit for the arenas where there are two, or more, of the same type. For instance, the two Late War arenas will show a limit that changes as the amount of players in these two arenas change.

The arena limits are governed as follows: As an example, if the Orange arena reaches a certain percentage of its maximum capacity, the server will adjust the Blue arena limit to a higher number. When the Blue arena reaches a certain percentage of its limit, then the Orange arena limit is raised. Conversely, the arena limits are also reduced in the same manner.

This gives the possibility of an arena limit being lower than the actual current number of players in that arena.

However, if that's not clear/complete enough, feel free to improve it.  If you're not confident with wiki markup, you can contact me, Murdr, or another wiki admin.

There's a link from the wiki Main Page to the Arenas page.

I understand the reason for the cap and how it works. I still don't like it though.

Cool Luche.  I didn't realize that was up to date.

Your astonishment sounds genuine

not to make the poor bbs pro's mad that they have to read something twice, but I agree with the original poster, why have dynamic balancing at all when there are a total of 200 guys on across the entire game?

IMHO dynamic balancing should be set NOT to kick in until the game numbers reach a large enough number to effect internet lag or whatever the original reason was for the routine.

You have a good point sir!

I got an interesting PM from our intrepid author...

Thanks for takeing the time to respond to my question, none of your responses wer very helpful however i find it interesting that youd waste playing time to just be a wise ass, but again thanks.

Now to clarify things:

1) I wasn't wasting time since I got a chuckle out of it
2) he spells even worse then I do
3) Dumb postings often generate even dumber responses

Maybe you should find out what the "original" reason is ... and then post.

How many zillion times does it have to be repeated that the arena's were split due to gameplay issues as a result of the large population NOT DUE TO A RESOURCE ISSUE?

And they have to draw the line somewhere....

Why if we are all members in good standing, cant we all play in the orange group ??
What really ticks me off is trying to get in and it states arena full pick another and theirs 167 / 100 ???

so how did the 67 extra players get in and why cant anyone else ???

or when we check back it shows 103 / 100  ?? whats up with the lucky 3 ???

then as if magic it opens up to 400  sometimes this takes quite awhile.

cant we just set it at 400 and leave it alone ??? or leave it open as we all paid to be here, the more the merrier right ???

SO WHAT THE F___ OVER ??!!

You need to upgrade to gold member.  Send HT an email and he will explain the rest.

personally... yes i really do hate arena cap to... but it is it separate the 600+ ppl that can be on at one time..., it is kinda unfair, i hate squad nights were i cant even get into server there in lol

HT needs to change it so instead of numbers it only displays "Arena Full".

Should eliminate most of these questions 

[spit16nooby]

i can usually get in to arena within 5 minutes and usually less on most limits.  The only problem for me is when it shifts down to 100 when there is 170 in.  I think we should make it a minimum of 200 and then we will be fine.
