I think it’s about time players stop moaning (including myself) about caps and help HTC come up with ideas to better the game.

I tried to login at the same time apparently.... saw the same thing

as to the ENY.......... of course if you went in blue you would have 100% of members in arena...... your ENY would be 29

so you would be in an arena by yourself with nobody to fly against......... and not even able to fly a decent plane

So, why would you need a descent plane if no-one was there? :huh

Any plane on the list is decent if you can fly.

I would bet the ranch that you probably just happened to come upon the point where the Blue arena was just reset (hence 0 players) ... which in turn dropped the MAX CAP on the Orange (100) due to Blue being "cleaned out".

There are much larger things in life to have hissy fits over than arena caps.

It was the very moment Titanic Tuesday was shut down and arena format went to the standard 2-arena setup.

If TT was shutdown ... then how could Orange have those numbers ?

Could it have been that TT scheme (single arena) came to it's end ... a second arena (Blue) was started and the "CAP" logic was activated ?

Yes, that's the way TT is ended. The TT arena itself is not "shut down". I may have worded that in a misleading way. TT Arena is renamed to Orange and Blue is opened.
