Now that there is more arena's, it doesn't matter if the player limit is reduced.

Yes it does!
What if a bunch of players want to play together?

Okay, I have an Idea.
Firstly, for it to work, the entry fee would have to be taken from the competitor/s when the game starts not when you join the arena.
The idea is: the more people, the lower the cost. This way we won't need a player limit, but a maximum amount of players instead.
Eg.
If 1 person joins the arena and starts the game alone, they would have $500 taken from them, but if 2 people join, it would cost $400 each and so on.. (The money would be taken depending on how many people join when the game starts) and the maximum amount of players could be 10.

With this idea, not only can people play alone when no one else is online, but it is also evened out with the price so people won't hoard too much.

Not a bad idea, Could you post it in the Mob Arena Suggestion topic i made so people can see it?

All this would require changing the MobArena code itself. You'll have to post it to their bukkitdev page if you want any hope of this.

I'm not so sure about this idea. With more people playing a round in the mob arena, there is probably a better chance that they make it to a further wave then if someone were playing by themself. I think it would be weird to charge more for someone to have less of a chance to get far in the arena.

[Tactic]

That's so they won't hoard the arena.

@1ce - What part of the idea is not possible to implement? I can try thinking of a similar idea that does not require changing the MobArena code.

[Paradox]

MobArena doesn't take money away when you enter, jsut when you start. It just says that, trust me.

[Tactic]

Okay then, what about whenever a player joins the arena, it checks how many people are in there and takes money accordingly.
Eg
Player 1 joins the arena - $500 taken
Player 2 joins the arena - $400 taken, $100 given to player 1
Player 3 joins the arena - $300 taken, $100 given to player 1 & 2
So on..

This idea is also pretty complicated, but if it works it would be great.

[Paradox]

Don't think we can configure that.

Possibly make the server announce when someone is trying to play a game of mob arena, so it's easier for games like poketower to recruit the people required to play.
