Live Lines Question for EVERYONE (regarding Arena FB)

[lander]

Over the next few weeks we're going to move the Live Lines system from the current Linux (aka hacked Atari box) to a real Linux box.

RX techie, Edgar, has done a great job setting this box up - we'll have about quadruple the memory, a significant increase in CPU, and more expansion room. In addition, I've been doing a HUGE refactoring of the codebase to make the lines server a highly threaded system (to leverage the new capabilities).

Anywho, long story short - we will have a more robust system (once the bugs are sorted out) and we have more power for cool features.

I've added Arena on my dev box as a POC (proof of concept) for Pinnacle's Arena lines.

My question is : are Arena lines on the RX Lives Lines something that the RX community will utilize?

If not, there is no sense wasting time and resources that could be dedicated to other important capping functionality.

If you choose 'no', then any suggestions for alternative functionality would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
-Lander

Very few arena players here as of now. Atleast there does not appear to be much interest. I love the game, but I would focus my time on other options for other major sports or other special perks if I had to choose. I would like to have WNBA if possible, but again, not sure there is enough interest to dictate dedication to it.

Thanks Lander & Edgar.

General,
We do offer WNBA.
Thanks for the comments.

Any Arena players out there?

Perhaps some books could comment on the demand of this "sport"?

Thanks.

Even if there was lander, only a few games left. My opinion would be to just wait and look into other options, and possibly adding it next season.

Thanks Lander. Anyway to make the screen scroll slowly up/down & right/left on it own?

lander, if possible could we have access to more opening numbers. right now you show just pinny's-maybe you could have a feature to toggle to all the openers. thanks

 

[lander]

General,
It's possible, but imagine that it would be quite annoying to some users.

Jimmy,
That's something we can definately look into after we migrate servers. I'm not sure we would have all the books, but certainly 3-4 sets of opening numbers would be very useful to the user.

 

[jimmyd]

thanks lander that would be peachy--as many as possible would be good. its understandable if you can't do all

No kidding Cheater ...

What are these creeps smiling about?

 

[1cheater]

Lander, forgot to mention the bang up job your doing with the Live Lines

 

[lander]

Thx Cheater

Any other suggestions/comments/compaints out there?

Lander,

Arena lines would be useful for me but I have a feeling I'm in a small minority on this one.

Great work, looking forward to the improvements.
