UPDATE

The 3 vs. 3 arena is not working at the moment. The NPC is away-without-leave. We have sent the troops out for him and hope he'll be back with tomorrow morning's maintenance.

We promise he will have to bear the consequences of his failure and will not fail us again.

On a similar note: The guys setting up the event in Varanas were a bit slack as well and did no finish their job on time. The event is delayed because of this as well.
