Select Arena
After you log in, this window lists the online arenas you can join. If only one arena is open, the game takes you straight there.
The arena list
The tabs at the top sort the arenas into groups. A tab can also show how many arenas or players it has, and one tab may list all arenas. The game remembers the last tab you used.
- Arena: the name of the arena. Some arenas have a second line with more information, for example a countdown to when an event starts.
- Players/Max: how many players are in the arena now, and how many it allows. An arena can also show Locked or Closed. You cannot enter a full arena.
- Ping: the time in milliseconds for a message to get to the arena and back. Lower is better. "---" means there is no answer yet.
The player counts and pings update while the window is open.
