4:00 PM Orange 200/200
             Blue    178/250

6:00PM  Orange 243/200
             Blue    173/250

How did 43 additional people get into Orange

Caps update constantly, you've got a two hour gap there.  At some point orange went up to 300, people joined, then numbers went down so caps went down, orange went back to 200. Quite simple.

Both AH help pages as well as AHWiki explain it.

This has to be the 87th thread on this aspect of caps

Ya but it is so much easier to just come to the boards and complain about it.

I was watching it, I wanted into Orange,  I keep check the totals in Blue and it never went up it.

I did check the help pages and according to what I read the numbers never really changed enough to allow the cap to rise to 300 in Blue.  It went down.  I was there checking the caps every few minutes.  That's why I asked in here.  I asked a question, a question it was not a complaint.  it was a question, so please rolleyes elsewhere.

Everyone knows the secret code to get into Orange except you.  Is that what you wanted to hear?

[fbWldcat]

The secret code? You mean ALT F4 right?

[Wobbly]

when blue hits about 175, orange goes from 200 > 300 and people join.

blue then dropped back below 175 and orange went back to 200 so you cant join but those that did when the cap was higher remain.

if you must go in orange, join blue to try and get it over 175 then exit blue and check orange

Unless you log in and out constantly you won't be able to track the numbers changing. For Orange to be 43 over the limit either 44 people had to log in at about the same time when the arena showed 199/200 or the cap went to 300 and you missed it.

You can track it from within the game.  the Roster gives you total numbers .    you can tell when you get near a tipping point for the CAP.   The Blue never went above 178 or below 160 for the two hours

Actually the 1st number can't be correct.

It can't bee 200/200 and 178/250. If Blue is has 178 players, Orange cap is at 300, not 200.
