Random Arenas

Description
''Test your mettle! Lead your team to victory or drag them down to defeat. Two teams of four randomly allied players fight it out gladiator style.''

The Random Arenas (commonly abbreviated as RA) are a place where you can hop in and PvP whenever you want. Simply enter and click the "Enter Battle" button under Party Formation.

Random Arenas matches consist of battles between two teams of four randomly chosen players. The matches happen in one of ten randomly chosen maps. This random factor is difficult to deal with, as you only have an idea of what you are going to deal with. Most Random Arenas maps have a simple goal: eliminate the opposing team, known as Annihilation. However, The Crag has a different objective, Kill count, which is to score the most kills in 3 minutes.

The Random Arenas were previously known as the Competition Arenas, or CA, and available from Lion's Arch, and did not include Heroes' Crypt or Deldrimor Arena in their map selection. The arena was moved to The Battle Isles and given the two additional arenas as part of the January 19, 2006 update.
