Axis versus Allies

I would bet that most players think that the Arena is for special events

and not regular

24 hour arena as are the Early and Mid War Arenas, with the FSO

seeming to be the closest Special Event comparison.
I have been playing since the mid 90s off and on. Back then I was curious about the Combat Theater (yes, that is what they called it back in the day

). So, I stepped in and ever since have been dragging anyone who will listen to me along with me to see. The one single complaint that they have had

it is always empty.

I have my own ideas, but I would like to hear from some of you.

This in no way is a whine about how much effort and improvements made. Actually, I am even more miffed

since there is so much player involvement and even awards for participation.
