Well it won't be like Arena but stay tuned for Olympia 1's first
gladitorial pits featuring

1.Paramutual betting
2.Secure gladitorial environment (no worries about BtA picking you off
for those brains
3.  Mages on call to provide healing and Priests for LR.
4.  Ladder system for Challenges
5.  Easy access to most of the major population centers in Olympia.

Which brings up a bigger point, we need more "character" in this
game.  There is the possibility for developing interesting things
around the world weith Rich's system and so people should get with
it.  (like why is there no secure "olympia library" featuring old
books with all the known magic categories or a "commodity market"
featuring an enterprising faction willing to buy goods and then
transport them to cities where they can make a profit.)  Trust me,
with some creativity one can develop a position that does more than
build up fodder to use in various conflicts.
