You mean in Cyrodiil, I take it. Which server are you on? But yes, I've noticed that DC tends to be less populated than either EP or AD, on both PCNA and PCEU, although it varies depending on the time of day and the particular campaign.

DC is in second place on PC NA right now. And DC pop locks at about the same time every other faction does most of the time. This sounds like a timing thing and an assessment based upon a minute or two in game and not a trend you've noticed.

Ive actually noticed, before I left about a year ago, and since my sporadic log ins recently, that PC NA, DC has had a healthy pop.
Different days/times will vary, but ive popped on at all different hours during the week and weekend the past 3 weeks ish, and some days, DC pop locked vs 1 bar EP/AD. some days EP pop locked vs 1 bar AD 2 bar DC. Rarely did AD pop lock before others (often not even going over 2 bars until evening time, central). Weekends seems like they all populate pretty quickly, though AD seemed to fill last consistently. The only time AD seemed to have a huge population was on Tuesday iirc. AD was pop locked at like 2pm while the others were 2-3 bar. Generally, DC seems to have a relatively large 'before-lunch' crowd right now, EP more so a 'after-lunch' crowd, AD more so an evening crowd, at least in recent weeks.

Overnight, judging from how the map looks in the morning, Id guess that AD has a big nightcap population right now, but I cant confirm that, since Im usually logging out by about 8pm CST. Last year it was consistently EP with the night/early morning caps.

of the 3 weeks-ish that I have been actively looking, EP definitely had the most consistently large population, AD consistently the lowest, DC fluctuating in the middle but near the higher end of the population.

Again, different days, different times, etc, it varies. but during daylight hours, CST, PC NA Grayhost, the above is pretty accurate. If ZOS would give us real time player counts instead of just bars, this would be less anecdotal, and probably include real numbers. Until then.... we'll never know if that 1 bar was nearly a full bar or nearly an empty bar.

Just as a little confirmation:
Right now, PC NA Grayhost, 1 bar AD, 3 bar EP, 2 bar DC.

if youre using a controller, the ui looks different (essentially minus 1 bar)
so 1 bar keyboard = 0 bar controller. no idea why but that is how it is.

3:48 PM CST

2 bar AD, pop lock EP, 3 bar DC (PC NA Grayhost, keyboard ui)

Just_Attivi

Crashed and calling it a night, because "It just works"
but ~5pm CST, 3 bar AD, pop lock EP, 3 bar DC.

in about an hour both AD and DC will be pop locked, if following typical daily patterns.
