Bring Back Early War and Mid War Arenas

They should be swapped out with Match Play and Steal the Sheep servers.  Plus, they should be free also.  That will help new players decide to subscribe for the good stuff.

Not even close to enough people.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

....and it would pull players from the MA diluting the population there. Not what we need.

Just put an arena that has like constant resupply missions and like drones that fly over at random heights that you can shoot with 88s..that’ll take like 60% of the MA population left.

I doubt many of the rocket plane drivers would leave the MA to go to early or mid war arena.

It seems pretty much everything is a "Wishlist thread" these days.

I for one have figured out that nothing is going to change and have stopped with any suggestions that would result in fit by the two people I have on ignore lolz.

Wishlist forum should just be closed at this point, no matter what is posted there, it will never happen.

True, I'm actually to the point where I'm not sure I'd be back if the whole thing was free with what I read about the pickn Tempests, the sharpshooter 88's, the magical tankers, the AWACS radar, and the couple people who are very vocal about disagreeing with any suggestions that are not their own and attacking anybody that doesn't see it their way.

I do still hold out hope that something will change but it's about the same level of hope that I have for winning the lottery :)

That said, I really did have fun in the early and midwar arenas back in the day. I seem to recall there was always people in midwar but not so many in early war which I think would have been fun if there were higher numbers.

Poor you.

This was not even close to necessary. We get it, you left and no bar is low enough to get you back.

Nobody cares.
