Can we PLEASE get a separate queue for Imperial City and sewers?

Not only does it take away from the amount of people an alliance has available to fight in the open world of a campaign, but I think Imperial City would be more popular with it's own queue. It's kind of a no brainer I would think. Any opinions?

    I headed down into the sewers in Vivec these past couple of days to get the achieves for the holiday event. Over a combined 4 or so hours, I saw a grand total of maybe 20 players from all 3 factions. IC is dead.

    Making it a zone of its own with a separate queue might actually liven it up a little, since all players would go to the same instance of it. As long as you could queue into IC while waiting for your chosen campaign queue to pop, like you can load into a guest campaign now while waiting for home.
    AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

    Right? Make a CP and non CP queue and then there will be a larger participation, bundle all the campaigns IC population together and you actually have something

    One ic “campaign” or queue would really add some color to those empty streets.
    Would also help if there was a board by the ladder entrances that would tell you how many people were in each district/afk in homebase/down in sewers

    Otherwise you spend more time going through load screens and searching for enemies than you do fighting

    It shares the same player limit with cyro now (2000), but since it is a separate cell anyway, I bet it wont hurt to separate their limits and make separate queues. Be prepared though, that upon reaching cyrodiil limit you wont be able to leave IC into Cyro, so maybe another exit or any option to leave it skipping cyro, as you cant drop telvars in Cyro anyway, so its completely sepsrste activities

    2000 in Cyro? No way. 200 per side maybe.

    Making IC a separate instance from Cyro does make sense - on both sides. As it takes fighters from Cyro and it's a pita to get to sometimes.

    I am not much of a PvP-er (reaching Corporal rank seems like a big achievement to me, lol) but when I wanted to enter the Imperial City and sewers this week end for the holiday event achievements, I wondered the same thing, why is this even tied to the Cyrodiil campaign anyway?

    The only thing I wanted was to go directly to the sewers/IC, not to take a very long ride towards the entrance. I think this prelude is totally unneccessary, and makes people think a 2nd time if they want to do the Imperial City.

    Make a dedicated queue for it...

    I support this.

    There's been a ton of DC in IC this campaign and it's reflected in the score of vivec.

    I would make it one zone until itself. Do not tie it to PvP campaign servers, make AP count for no campaign rewards. Also go down to only two of them, CP and Non-CP.
