Let's go back to two arenas ASAP.   We don't pay a subscription to not be able to play.  This is Ridiculous!

Just allow the arena cap to grow. No need to bring back the two arenas.

BUT... two arenas is better than none, which is what I've been getting. I have no desire to fly the other arenas, so if I can't log into the late war arena with some kind of regularity, I might as well not play.

Could do that.  Or how about this instead?

these numbers in the single arena are the highest I've seen since around tour 98 when i started.

I think the single arena is going to just keep on growing...that tells me people prefer 1 arena.

I see problems when a small unpopular map comes up though, or if a large map gets lopsided...

I think we should do a 1 week auto reset of the map just for freshness with only having 1 arena.

What the heck!  Can get in to WWI , early war and midwar problem is that isn't what I want!  Why can I get what I paid for?
:furious
you're paying for access to just one arena? guess the one you picked isn't available at the moment, pick another one...and that will be the only one you get.

I'm guessing HTC put that cap in place on purpose cuz the bbs hadn't had a arena cap whine thread for more than 4 days.

No, it's cuz we don't want anyone to realize they are entering cesspool conditions. It's like spraying deodorant on dirty underwear.

I'm pleased to say that I have no idea what that is like.

Works great, you can get 3 weeks out of them that way.

Clearly the players don't really want what they say they want or something to that effect so, a single MA with a cap to drive us away must be what we really want.   :rolleyes:

Maybe we should have split LW arenas with a cap system so this problem can be fixed :P :bolt: :rofl

A 30 minute inactivity timer would probably solve most of these problems with caps, Im sure at least 5% is sleeping in tower, doing unimportant IRL stuff.

I think the lag issues some had yesterday would be solved by using maps with longer distances between fields.
