Here is an idea

Firellight

Have three campaigns:
5 day Non-veteran.
7 day Regular.
30 day Regular.

Have the buffs carry over the two regular campaigns (Home and Guest). Imo, this would double the playing field. Even with the amount of campaigns we have right now, there would be double the amount of participation across Cyrodiil, and I can guarantee that all the servers would be actively fighting. 3 months down the road, alliances would probably stick to two campaigns, but there are not enough campaigns to provide buffs to all alliances, so there will definitely be more fighting than Thornblade.

Or we can just do 2 campaigns and make the buffs global to all people in the alliance (except for people playing in the non-vet campaign?).

Does anyone else think this has potential?
We could try it for a campaign or two. Have two 7-day campaigns go at it for two weeks and see how it goes?

EDIT: I get it that there could be issues with having more than two campaigns and carrying buffs to the guest campaign. Someone with Chillrend buffs would be fighting against a person with Haderus buffs, etc. It wouldn't work very well. So here is a fix: the double buff server would be a 2-in-1 campaign. Basically, if you sign up for one campaign, you are also signed up for the other. This would also help with issues of switching campaigns when one is capped.

Rather remove the buffs from PvE than carry them to other campaigns again. There was already one step in the right direction, why go back?

A player having 30-day-campaign as home campaign will play on Thornblade if he can and enjoys. Even if he would care for some buffs from 7-day-campaign.
If a campaign was dominated by one faction, that faction's players could set it as home campaign to gain an advantage over other players on the actually active campaign who in return don't want those buffs badly enough to leave their campaign though.

If there weren't population imbalances before they would certainly be felt if a double buff campaigns come along. Last I heard DC cannot spare many to go fight for other servers whereas AD and EP regularly get pop locked. If DC gets too discouraged people will leave the faction for another simply to get on an evn playing ground for pve events.
If any of the three factions die then a pvp ground relying on AvAvA is going to quickly crumple and die too

The buffs wouldn't be doubled, they'd just be spaced out across 18 keeps instead of 9. Or something else could replace the current buffs, Idk.

DC is low on population in PvP. however I'm fairly confident that their PvE population is decent. I think this is a problem for all of PvP, though. It's slowly losing players. The frustrations outweigh the incentives/fun for a lot of people.

There are still flaws with this idea, but I'm hoping for them to be rooted out and solved.
