I wondered the same thing, are the numbers growing? After the offical announcement that AH3 was open and AH2 access was removed, every Saturday evening during my Sqauads playing time I recorded the numbers from the Arena counts and Rosters in the main arena for 4 hours recording in a spread sheet the numbers presented, recorded every 30 minutes for the 4 hours that we play. The short answer is Yes over all numbers were up, however, they appear to have leveled off and for the past few weeks declined. originally I recorded an mean average of 150 players on Saturday evenings between 7PM and 11PM EST. that average climbed and maxed out at 196 players however for the month of February so far has only averaged 180 players. I never recorded numbers over 200. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, it just wasn't present when I recorded the number for my spread sheet. Numbers may be far higher any other day of the week. I don't know. My squad has stopped playing in all arenas except the main and we only play on Saturday evening. Because the numbers are low, night in the game appears to have a major impact on the numbers and the numbers do not seem to recover that evening even when daylight returns to the arena.
