(late message, but still)

I would say either have some new program or thing going on, which would encourage people to join the Arena (like, the Arena says that any new combatants get half the profit from their match) and that's why there's suddenly so many new ones or allow people to choose from any of the lowest three ranks or something. My problem with the second is that when an RP starts and all the characters have met before, it breaks the character interaction since you have people talking to people they've known for four years and not knowing whether they're friends or enemies.

For my first idea, it could be the Arena's re-opening after an expansion or something. Like, fancy cages that can pop up in the middle or a moat or just more seating. This means that plenty of wanna-be warriors are waiting for a chance to win some gold.

For teams, I'd say you could have them put in teams and then they get support, training and funding from the teams while the teams get some of the profit from the Arena or you could have no teams - I'd suggest allowing a choice between the two. More money or more help. The Grand Champion would still recieve support from his old team and the team would still get some money for the fame, but would mostly be seperate.

I would also say that you could also offer people you know/trust or yourself the ability to be the Grand Champion and other higher up fighters.
