Will there be a private server version of Arena for development purposes?

I'm not necessarily worried about it keeping up with season goals. I care mostly about the interesting new runtime and world layout.

Speaking of a "fully featured private server" for Arena -- no, it is not planned. But at some point we will publish tools to create and run your own arenas. These tools will contain the minimal runtime to test mechanics locally. No multiplayer connectivity will be available there, and when finished, such custom arenas should be deployed to our cluster to run real multiplayer matches.
