For those of us who want to enter a PVP campaign, nothing is worse than picking a "rabbit out of the hat" just to see you won't enjoy the campaign. Either the whole map is your factions so there isn't any PVP. Or, the opposite and your faction has no remote presence. Or, the campaign is full of people you don't like.
Instead of hiding the data from us, Campaigns should have every detail publicly available. Pressing "L" to enter Alliance War tab should bring you the scores, current emperor, estimated population of every campaign. It should list how many unique players logged in for each faction in the last 3 days.
I would enjoy PVP a lot more if I could know what I am walking into and perhaps choose a campaign I would enjoy with people I enjoy instead of pulling rabbits out of a hat and hoping for the best. After all, 100k alliance points isn't something to waive on faith, its something to make an informed decision on.
Within; Without.
