The mysterious Login Screen??
« on: December 10, 2008, 03:22:44 PM »
What is the point of the login number restriction?

Case in point try and login and its shows 175/100 ini the arena, wait two minutes and try again and low and behold you can get in.

Hitech please get rid of this daft system!!! WTF is the point of Titanic tuesday and then split the bandwidth for the other six days!!! :mad:

Tonto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 minutes, huh?

Anyway, I've been convinced for some time that the login screen randomly shows different arena maximums for different people at different times.  Kind of based on what Vox saw.  You'll be in an arena and get booted and when you try to get back in it's 235/200 or something waaay off.
Also, I've noticed at midnight Central Time, the maximum go up to 400 no matter how many are on at the time.

I'm partial to the number in the arena going up when its above the cap- ie, it'll be 230/200, then a minute later you'll check back and its 245/200. See LW do that quite frequently at night.
