Does it seem pretty even across the board?

I've been playing AD, and I only stepped into cyrodill once as soon as I hit the minimum level. Don't know much about how populated the other two factions are.

Is the player base split pretty evenly across AD/EP/DC?

I play north america so I'm more interested in thoughts on that than the EU megaserver.

There are 10 "Instances" of Cyrodiil that are called Campaigns. Each campaign is populated different. The campaign that is currently the most even is Azura's Bow but it's hard to get into that one since it's always locked out. Wabbajack is my guilds campaign and it's pretty even.

You can look at the Campaign window and see the population of each faction in that campaign at that time via the bars on the right. Like a cell phone, 1 bar is low population, 3 bars high. And if they capped their population it will show a lock sign. But keep in mind that your looking at population for that exact time, not overall assigned.

You can pick your campaign, so guest in a few for a few days and when you find one you like make it your Home campaign.

ahhh yeah I remember that now. Like I said, I only popped into Cyrodil once. It was really cool but I've always been more of a PVE guy.

So there's really not a good way to judge if it's like some other MMOs where a majority of players prefer a specific faction?

I know in my case, my guild and alliance guilds chose a campaign and we are all in it. Considering the the "Azura's Bow" campaign is always maxed out and locked, I'd say that's the one everyone likes most, or at least most guilds got into.

PvP in this game I think is extremely fun, especially if you have a guild to ride around with and take over resources and keeps. Fun stuff.

Azura's Bow is still not nearly full. Only during peak times.

Covenant is winning the majority of campaigns.
Azura's Bow is being won by dominion
