> I havent had time yet to start the new monster arena, and I generally like waiting until day 6-7 and doing a bunch of prelim rounds at once (its fun), but I'm really curious what the new rules are!

THis is from the email that told me a new tourney was starting:

"
This month, prices are dramatically different from what they've been in past tournaments, which should completely change the winning strategy. Stat bonuses are more expensive, but equipment, enchantments, and elemental bonuses are all much more affordable. Additionally, the restocking fees have been altered -- now they're more expensive during the preliminary rounds and
cheaper afterward."

I've yet to be a decent player here, I do ok, but usually get knocked out in the finals a few rounds in. Been getting a handle on the strategies finally and now it changes :P But, it's been fun so far!
