Real Time - can you choose to play Simple OR Arena?

[jeffbizloc]

If you just want to play it would make games faster to find if you could choose either or. Anyone know if there is a way to search games of both?

At the top of the "play now" page choose "simple" in the left menu and "real-time" in the middle menu.
I believe if there are games available in Arena there will be a link that says "more games available in Arena" or something like that. I can't check at the moment as it looks like none of my games are available in real-time Arena.

Yes you can.
Open the lobby on 2 tabs, set a different mode on each, and only then start to search on both tabs.

You can do it with two tabs, but you have to do it in the right order. Open one tab on Simple. Open another tab on Arena. NOW, join the wait queues. If you do it in the other order (join then switch tabs), you'll get kicked when you switch modes.

This should be supported more explicitly, like an "I'm also available for Arena" checkbox on simple mode.
