MA was having serious problems with the text/bullet server lag. I had the unique experience of being shot down by a plane that I had just killed. It's probable that this same server somehow affects login ability, hence while we in the MA were having our fun ruined, nobody else could log on until the problem sorted itself out.
I wish there was a second real arena available so as to have a place to fly and have fun when the MA craps out.
