Around Midnight Seibs time (central), I'll be disabling the arena to see if that will help the site's performance. I'm doing it then as there will be fewer players that will be trapped in the waiting queues. Those trapped in the waiting queues will have to wait for the waiting time to expire.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this'll cause. I may not be the programmer, but the least I can do is try to keep the game going in it's current state.

Sounds good to me; like I just posted in another topic I never saw the need for the arena anyway. All it dose is encourage players to separate themselves from the rest of us.

No, what it did was give people variety.
Now we'll be left with only one way to play this game. I just hope we can get the mission brackets sorted out ASAP.

Some more mission variety against preds(lv.6-11) and maxis sure would help, some of those players are the ones I saw in the arena.

lets not pretend this is anything other than what it is; a last ditch effort to keep HMW online.

Exactly.
Also, I'm going to sticky this for a brief while, to discourage the large number of "whare did teh aren go?" threads that will pop up after midnight.

Well, lets hope it's just a flook; the site's working fine now.

Well, I hope a more permanent solution can be found for the site because I kind of depend on the arena to stay energon solvent, as I get outnumbered so often, especially on the weekends when it sometimes seems like I'm the only Maximal playing.
My four arena monkeys are often the only ones reliably earning energon while my outnumbered mission guys get hammered. (And no, I don't lose energon in every mission, but even a single 0 XP 0 Energon mission can wipe out gains from several other missions all at once and my arena guys helped offset that more).

No, just Seibertron. That's why I'm worried.

and if it can't Ratboy? what then?
Mkall has said the current HMW code is streamlined to the maximum of his ability. so the only other options are; turn off HMW entirely & forever, or turn off HMW while Mkall writes a new version from the ground up, which could take years, as he has little more free tome than he two predecessors and look how far they got.
the sad truth probably is that there aren't enough players to warrant 4 factions. sorry.
and that's a bugger whiner, i logged on around 18:00GMT which is 10:00PST, so i don't know why it gave you problems and not me for over an hour
