I was surprised to see campaigns suddenly running at 'full'. Not just the top couple.
When I did finally get in, I found there seemed to be no more players than recently. It still seemed empty.
We still couldn't muster enough players to make a decent assault on a keep.
I suspect they just 'did something' to the campaign display and dropped the player limit.

When the Craglorn patch came out, they increased the campaign population caps. Because the day after it came out, all the usually full or locked campaigns had 1-2 bars instead.
It seems this change has now been reversed and the campaigns seem full again. I don't think the actual PvP population has changed that much. Even when the AB campaign had 2 bars, the population inside seemed very healthy.
Also as people said, perception is everything. If the campaign is locked people will queue to get in. If the campaign looks empty form the outside, people will not bother going in.
