The problem having two arenas up all the time with no caps,  is people will play where the numbers are ...

I dont see a problem here at all ... the people who like a busy arena will fly in a busy arena, and the people who like an empty arena will fly in an empty arena. :aok


If you do not boot people from off hours arena, you are seeing 180 players in LWO (capped) and 10 in LWB again.

remove the dynamic caps, remove the problem :aok

Which in fact would be getting back the "old main" through the backdoor.
Not that I wouldn't  like it... but you know what the chances for that are ;)

I didn't come up with that off-hour stuff idea because I do like split arena or caps that much, or that I'm enjoying the boot twice a day ..

well it would give everyone what they want,  

The people that want to fight,  will balance the horde arena.   Localised hording IMO is just as bad if not worse the way it is now.

Map choice for the land grabbers.   It would be interesting to see how the numbers react when the large map is open.  I'm willing to bet the majority stay in the small map because it would be   :rock   :x   :banana:

i just don't fly LWOH now, i give up on trying to have fun in LWOH usually 30 mins or so into playing i get the arena will close and the other will open up, so i just don't play i know this might not mean crap to anyone else, but its affected my playing hours, dont know why they just didnt remove or up the Cap limits in both arenas

Please get rid of the Off Hours (Every day is Titanic Tuesday) arena and go back to Orange/ Blue Arenas.  While you are at it...you can get rid of Titanic Tuesday as well.

I fail to understand why the old arenas could be better in off hours. Its actually the lack of any fight that made me left the game last time and I'm having a blast since the change. Except if you enjoy fighting against the ack.

Agreed.
I cant believe people want to go back to the old system. Although sometimes nice to have another choice to fly when offhours arena doesnt seem to pleasant, but thats when Ill give WW1 a try or hop into MW.
Only been a couple times where the arena dump broke up a real good time we were having during the switch but no system can be perfect.

I was getting really tired of the old setup where it was almost impossible to get into the arena that I wanted. Since the change, the #s have been really steady in both arenas to warrant being able to enter both even at prime time.
