Curious..... why is it such a fight to get into the Orange Arena, which by far, seems to be the most visited one. An example; the arena has 235 people in it right now, however, the server program or what ever device that drives the regulation of arena visitors, is down to 100. (254/100????) Here's the kicker; There are 350 allowed into the mid and early wars.....I have never seen more than a hundred in those arenas at any one time. So, the arena that most personnel go to visit, almost always have to fight to get in......the arenas that arn't as taxed allow more players in. I guess the main point I'm trying to get to is, why does the amount allowed in fluxuate but instead stay at say...350..such as early and mid war? I am positive this question has been posed before, however, I am not going to spend hours looking through posts to find what was said.
I am sure someone is going to post that I should just go to another arena, roger...got it...doesn't explain the confusing regulation of personnel.

do a search and you'll find enough reading to keep you busy untill the numbers in the arenas even out again.

I say, a fixed cap that we have never reached. Like lets say, 1000?

I think you'll see a third main arena before you'll ever see that !

Well...so far this forum has alot of answers, although The Fugitive has ensured that the humor has stuck around. :D

This question has been asked many times and I still can not follow the workings of it or understand why it is this way , so I just go to where ever I can get in , but it is a bummer when your squaddies are in the full one and you fly solo in another arena until you can move . I'm sure someone knows in detail but hey I'm just happy to have a game like this . :rolleyes:

personally I like it the way it is.
I think without the dynamic limits the blue arena would have about the same numbers as midwar or late war with no real chance of getting bigger because a large number of people won't log into an arena with only 10-20 people in it. On the other hand the orange arena would have som many people in it that all you will find is the same problem many complain about on Tuesday (horde upon horde after horde).
So in one arena you would hear the crickets chirping and the other so busy that it wouldbe difficult to get off the ground.
Nope I say leave it alone.

may as well do one LWMA then. or just one arena all over, which skuzzy has specifically said to me WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Maybe I'm taking this all wrong..... I am not slamming HTC, I love this game ..... I stated that I wanted to know the answer and I gave the reasons why. I thought I had layed everything out logically.
Let me restate **cleares throught...couple of coughs** I want to know why the arena has a fluxuating personnel cap on it because of all those ^ reasons.
And Hey.. Nutte.... thank you for the only real answer given. So, no CM or anything like that (i.e. Skuzzy) has replied with why? Hmmmmppfff. Oh well.

Why should any one waste time explaining it to you when you seem too lazy to search yourself! You will find hours of reading to explain it.

Chemdawq: Short answer the game does not play well with 700 people in the same arena every night.
If I just set 1 arena cap at 400, then you will have the same issue but at 400 and getting the 2nd arena populated is then very difficult.

Thank you HiTech. I appreciate it. I just wanted it to make sense. :aok
Fugitive... bud, if you've been around longer than I have, which I assume you have, you had the answer to the question I was asking. If thats the case, then that leads me to believe you are unwilling to help anyone out. Which is a shame...because this is a community. If you honestly didn't know the answer to the question, curiosity is arroused as to why you would even post. If you will have noticed...a simple question was asked and all you did was badger the person asking it. I apologize to all if I I have used up your time.
Again, I appreciate the fact that HiTech monitors these boards and willing to answer even the simplest of questions.
P.S. I don't have hours to spend reading the boards.....I would much rather use the majority of my time flying.

Hitech I can understand now what these settings mean , after all game play is important too and thanks for that explanation . And Chemdawg you are welcome if we dont ask then we dont know do we . There is lots of info here and lots of folks who know , someone will always post an answer to your questions and are pretty much kind in their responses or at least it has been my experience anyways , so ask away it doesn't hurt anyone .
cya Nutte :salute
