Then, when you get close to a keep, a prompt appears: "Do you want to join this battle?"
- Click Yes and you get put in the same phase as everyone else seiging that keep.
- Click No you stay in your own phase but that keep is non-interactive.

Why do you play on the most empty campaigns, though?
A similar idea has been suggested before....somewhere in the thread below....just not with game -re designing concept of different phases for each third.spenc_cathb16_ESO wrote: »wordz

There's already three instances in Cyrodiil though. Overland, Sewers, IC Districts.
Why not split overland Cyrodiil even further? See image below for an example.
Edit: Thanks in advance for the reply, much appreciated.

@spenc_cathb16_ESO Overland Cyro, IC Districts and IC Sewers aren't really instances of Cyrodiil in the way Brian is alluding to. For loading purposes, they are their own "zones" independent of Cyrodiil.spenc_cathb16_ESO wrote: »ZOS_BrianWheeler wrote: »@spenc_cathb16_ESO The short answer is no, there is no easy way to split keeps off into their own instances or even the three portions of Cyrodiil at this time.

I hope they will never split Cyrodiil!
I already played GW2, been there, done that. Cyrodiil as a huge open zone without boundaries in traveling (and especially without loading screens inbetween) is what I am here for.
Maybe this would reduce overall lag (which I doubt, because a three-way fight at BRK would still lag out the zone destroying the "big fight" feeling) but having to pass a loading screen of sillyness everytime I die and want to run back to Nikels from Roe? No thx.
@MisterBigglesworth Cyrodiil already is sharded into different instances like the other zones. That's what the different campaigns are, and how campaign population caps are handled.MisterBigglesworth wrote: »@ZOS_BrianWheeler What about phasing/sharding Cyrodiil the same way it's done for all other zones.

When will this be announced on the French (and German?) forums?ZOS_BrianWheeler wrote: »We will be removing Chillrend as a Campaign during the regular maintenance on November 9th on PC/Mac US and EU realms.

What is the goal of this; is this a good thing? Could someone explain why to the noob I am, please? And what will be the results of this?ZOS_BrianWheeler wrote: »We will be removing Chillrend as a Campaign during the regular maintenance on November 9th on PC/Mac US and EU realms.
