I'd say 'almost free', as it takes a paying user to create one. And there is never one up when I check the arenas, so my unpaid account could hardly use this 'free feature'.

The steal the sheep map would be a great FFA map. Maybe add a couple more bases. Small maps like this might attract players in the F2P area. I wish AVA was like that. Small, simple, playable. All of the tank bases are just too much, you can roll a tank from the air bases just as easily. I think the biggest reason why AvA hasn't gained traction is becuase of too much focus on Tanks, and still too big a map for the amount of players that normally check it out.

I don't believe that is true any longer. At least I meant to change that, but would have been only a few minutes work so I can not 100% say i did, or only looked.

No idea if he would actually answer me  :headscratch:

But it wasn't about me - it was about new players looking for a free feature. I was just testing if they could actually use the custom arena feature.
Personally, I have no interest in such things. For me it's MA or none.  :old:

They're also empty. 

You need to drive a critical mass to them if it is going to attract much attention.  Hopefully Steam will do that.   But your jewel is obviously still the OMA.
