Is this the effects of boredom or CAPs?

It's not the current # of players in arena, it's what YOUR computer thinks it is--ya have to exit lobby and return to get updated count. I suspect that's how megasquads get all their guys on for squad night....they log in early, and just sit there in lobby. Even though current deal is 243 out of possible 200, if YOUR pc thinks it's 134 of 200, you're golden for later on...just sit there an hour or so and dont refresh screen

Hell thats nothing, once, my ping was at 1700 or so. Turns out I was being routed up to Vancouver, and THEN to the HTC servers for some reason.

I didn't know that, does that really work? Lol might be time to login before heading out to the jobby job! Thanks good info!
Taking an enemy on the battlefield is like a hawk taking a bird. Even though it enters into the midst of a thousand of them, it gives no attention to any bird than the one it first marked.

Wouldn't be necessary if we could get a refresh button on the server board.

Been asked for before, if I recall HT doesn't want people constantly pinging the servers for updates. Besides, blue still seems to have room in it.

Yeah, I always find that hilarious...the same dude trying every three seconds to get into Orange because "it's where all teh uber stix hang out and no other arena - even the other LW arena it worth anyone's time."  Sad, really.

At those transitional times of day where there's 200 in Orange and 75 in Blue...there's simply not much fun to be had (as far as furballing goes)
