Only one question left to think about....
Other than the powers that be want two arena's for their own reasons. If an arena can hold 600-650 people why would you want to dilute the arena when the customers want to be in the one arena? Isn't that what the customers are crying out for? Perhaps, the servers cannot handle a 650 person arena and a 300 persona arena?
It raises one last thought...if both arena's could hold 650 people each would they be split down the middle evenly with combatants? If not, why not?
Thinking out loud and trying to understand the unknown.
As has been said many times and many ways, with out changing any software we can hold 1000 people in an arena. But until we split the arena, we had put an artificial cap on our growth. People do not have as much fun after a certain number of people enter an arena. We had reached that number and could no longer grow because of it.
Once we split arena, our numbers again began to grow.
Now the thing you do not consider, you want caps at 650 , what happens to the other 100 to 600 people who want to be in the arena that is populated first?
Notice the same problem exists again but just at a different number.
And finally Ren, do you really think we implement something like this to piss customers off? Why would we do something that would be bad for business. But the real facts are had we not split arenas, it is possible Aces High would not exist.
The real trick in game programing is giving customers what they want, not what they ask for.
