Starting today, we've making a change to the setup of the late war main arenas. Instead of two around-the-clock late war arenas, we're switching to a system of four arenas that are available only at certain times. There will be two late war prime time arenas, one late war arena for off peak hours, and one late war arena for Titanic Tuesday. The prime time arenas will be open from 4 p.m. Central until 1 a.m. excluding Tuesdays. The off peak arena will run between 1 a.m. and 4 p.m. excluding Wednesdays. Titanic Tuesday will now run from 4 p.m. Tuesday until 4 p.m. Wednesday. These times are subject to adjustment as needed. All other arenas are unaffected by this change.
Prior to an arena closing, there will be an automatic arena message broadcast 5 minutes before the change. Once the change takes place, there will be an additional 10 minutes for players to land their sorties before the arena is evacuated.
Although the various late war arenas are only open during their allotted times, all the arenas are persistent and save all field ownership and damage states from the time they close until the time they open again. For example, what happens on Titanic Tuesday will carry through to the next Titanic Tuesday.
We hope that players will find this system much better at adapting to the differing needs of peak hour players and off peak hour players and making the transition between the two better.
