My theory that skull thickness is directly proportional to tooth yellowness is proving to be true.  

EDIT:  I've said my piece, I may make this a thread in the wishlist - I wish HTC would ignore the minority.  For now I am done.

I understand what Bat is saying but I think he has his numbers wrong. If the euro group was less than 10% of the player I could see him saying "don't waste time helping the 10% only to hurt the other 90". However, if you go by populations euro prime time is 100-150 and US prime time is 300-350 then our euro brother make up a third of the subscribers, no small number.

open a small mapped arena at night WITHOUT closing the Arena that is the Main MA, simple.

A huge part, if not the majority (I'd almost bet the latter) of euro prime time players is actually US based.

We used to have 2 arenas during busy hours and 1 during the quiet hours.

Now you want to go the other way? 1 arena during the busy hours and 2 during the quiet hours?

I think we should take it further:

1000 people online: 1 arena
500 people online: 2 arenas
100 people online: 4 arenas
10 people online: 27 arenas

 ;)

you guys like to argue over nothing.

there was a large map last night, I played until 2 am pacific time.  there was (were?)  2 furballs, one with the rooks, one with the bishops.  I flew at most 4 min and that was to get some high bishop buffs.  against the rooks it was a 10 second flight since they were trying to get our field.  it was fun from the time I logged in 10 pm pst till I literally fell asleep in my chair at 2 am pst.

I fly mostly at night and I can swear that most of the guys there wanted 1 arena with more numbers rather than 2 arenas with few players and it was not due to the euro players.  but here in the bb's you both make it sound like it's a us v euro.  when the opposite it's true.  most guys just want numbers and dont really care if it is a big map or a small map because maps do not guarantee fights players do.  a small map still has 7 or 8 fields facing each of the other 2 countries.  and when you only have 70 or 80 players then you can still have no fights same as if you had 20 fields facing the other two countries.

Absolute truth.  I could not believe the map whine going on when I logged in last night.  Who the hell cares.  Shoot em down, blow em up, but quit whining :)

when I logged in earlier the format was

EW          xxx/450
MW         xxx/450
LW          xxx/ 450

So has prime time managed to get up to 450 yet? and what do the other guys do when it does?   :t

No reset to the arena just keep rolling with the varied rotation of large and small maps.   The players reset the small ones super fast but the big ones take awhile?

Personally I don't mind too much about the map as long as we do not go back to having the same one up for weeks without it resetting but i'm sure that will not be the case with 20% war win rules.
