    7 day campaigns were almost allways dead whether faction lock was in effect or not.
    Allways?
    There was a good 3-6 month period where haderus was cool. But essentially the 7 day camps were just faction buff servers that were dead.

    Dude do you really have nothing constructive to add but nitpick? he/she used the term neo-vivec because no one can be bothered to type out kaalgufsljtskfjsdf and everyone here understands what neo-vivec refers to.

    @NBrookus I like that term of Neo-Vivec :smile: Will start using it too, instead of 'kaalgufsljtskfjsdf' :smile: (the idea of using the Dragon names is not bad in theory but not very practical)

    [As it stands 7 day campaigns hardly make any convincing argument because obviously people do not want to play there - for various reasons
    Because they have no Faction Locks.

    Then why have they been dead atleast 18 months before faction locks got reintroduced?

    Indeed, the 7 days campaigns are and have been simply dead. Which means that now there is no playable (=populated) Cyrodiil campaign(s) for multi faction players to play on, and none at all for non-cp multi faction players

    And as the OP of this long thread says, many of the veteran, loyal long term ESO PvP players are multi faction players

    I remember when I was the only one making these arguments in faction lock request threads. Now there are strangely more people who seem to agree with me making their voices heard...

    Reactionary as always, you fickle playerbase. Never change.

    There was also that weird moment in time where IC being open was determined by the map control on the 7-14 day campaigns (ie like 3 weeks a few yrs ago) where they were hopping. Since then though, as we've all talked about before, a 7-14 day camp maybe gets busy around primetime for like 2hrs, back when the queues were huge for all 3 sides, but then fizzles out quickly. If you play during the day, you're AP is gonna come from flipping rss out of absolute boredom.

    Faction lock should have been a new optional campaign for those that want it.. instead the DEV's put it on the main campaigns.

    The problem is not faction lock.. it's *** poor implementation by the dev team and imposing it on campaigns where it was NOT appropriate!

    Agree so much. It was not appropriate to impose it on the existing campaigns where many customers had paid for a game without faction lock.
