About the old arena's. Why not just convert those practice area's found in the initiation zone adjacent to the first village you visit into a practice area using the same code as the old arenas. In that way you could the option of both.

NGD would probably need to increase the size of those practice areas to make it fair on ranged classes.

I think people are mistaking a practice/training arena with a pvp area You don't get RP or any other points for pvping in arena, hence it's no more than a combat practice.

Old arenas were more fun because they were multifunctional and allowed spectators. This probably was a problem on RA - I imagine arenas could get really crowded.

The solution could be a mix of the old and new arena:

Arena would stay instanced, but people could allow spectators or fighters joining their instanced fight (or eventually disable spectators and more fighters) - a list of ongoing fights could be viewed when entering arena.
