    For off peak accept 6pm to 2pm AEST.How many people do you need to tell you Shor and Sotha are dead in off peak before you accept it? 50? 100? 1000? I'll guess for you it would always be "1 more".
    Shor and Sotha don't exist anymore in PC NA, so I have no disagreement that they are "dead". The new campaigns are not "dead". As far as how many people have said this, I have heard some people define "dead" as "less than population capped". And now I have you claiming that the population bars are at zero. It's almost worth staying up late to take a screenshot proving otherwise.

    Xbox NA, champ. Feel free to hop on and and show me all those populations in off peak.

    And, for the immediate future, we can all agree that the nomenclature of Vivec, Shor and Sotha will be interchangeable with 30cp, 7cp and 30nocp campaigns respectively. The dragon names are a PITB.

    Feel free to take my word for it, in the absence of any reason I have to make what would be an easily disproven and stupid lie.

    Well put OP. I would go further as to say, heck I'll even take it costing me some AP or gold or taking away my ability to be eligible for emp or geodes. Just give me AN option, not take-backsies on something they gave us freedom to do for the past few years.

    I'd rather just have faction change tokens and then give out a 'Call to Arms' buff to the low-pop Factions...something like x100 XP/AP plus a special bounty quest that awards a crap-load of coin.

    Or...ya know...make it so Volendrung only drops for the lowest-pop faction; immediately disappearing if that faction gains more people (so you can have people sit out until Vol drops then mass join).

    It's completely stupid that pop-locked factions can get Vol and steamroll even more.
    You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

    You just explained the real reason why people don't want to switch from the locked 30 day to the unlocked 7 day. It's about how slow people are to accept change. The campaigns were changed from unlocked to locked and people are reluctant to change. Even a small thing like changing a name, shows how people are reluctant to change.

    That thread was made by an Oceanic and it talks about how our connections to the server are taking ridiculous detours through Europe to reach the NA server...
    So I'll take back the 'got nothing to do with you'. NZ is enjoying the same detour through the long pathed wonderland.

    how do people use the excuse they cannot play with friends when only one campaign is locked? its just an ignorant response and poor excuse for refusing to just guest somewhere else, unless ofcourse they want to stack the winning sides to get tier 2 rewards for geodes easier then swap to the next alliance when its easier and can no longer do that

    Poor excuse and ignorant ? You do realize no cp has no option to play an unlocked campaign right ? So yes for many people this is a very valid point, and certainly does prevent them from playing with friends.
