Some of us live in different time zones?


This isnt a US only game... its a world wide thing.

I should have explained a bit further.  The overall number was fine, the not so good was that the big arena was locked out and the other open arenas had only 30,11,7 and 5 players, and few of those were flying.  It was better later in the day.

One arena being locked out like this only happens after reset. (Blue in this case)

Zanth: While I agree it is an issue I wish didn't have to happen, we picked the switch over time to minimize the impact. The fact is no one wants to be the first into arenas, but some one hast to.

I think towards the end of the old MA, we were getting close to 600 on a good night.

I play USA time....and most of you (USA) are asleep when I play. Schatzi is correct; European and Asian Time Zones have fewer players and they are divided amongst 3 countries, and 3-4 arenas. We do enjoy some great 1 v 1 fights, though!

I'd probably go EW more often but ..

1. I am having fun in MW (love my toothy hellcat)
2. to my knowledge the F4F only comes in light blue... although I like the green 202 in there on ocassion.


does it bother me there are less people in MW..not really ... you can only fight so many at a time anyway(for me that number is one or less hehe )

if 300 people are in an arena.. when if ever would they ever be in the exact same sector much less at the same base?



Yeah buddy! Hellcat is a monster in the MW. My main ride in there now.

F4f comes in a RAF desert tan and I believe there is one dark blue skin.

This is why we need to get rid of this stupid time zone chit. I work for a British corporation and you cannot get anyone on the phone over there after noon! What is up with that! I mean, how can you do business with people who start work at 3:00AM and go home at 11:00AM! Is it my fault that the sun doesn't shine in your country during normal business hours? NO! And this west coast time stuff. I mean, People calling me with computer problems at 8:00PM! The work day is freakin over man, go home!

The world would would just function better if everyone operated on US eastern time and be done with it! Think of how productive we would be! Think of the numbers in the AH arenas!

























You do realise I'm kidding right?
