While there are FCs and even LS (or Fellowships nowadays) milling around in the wards, they're the extreme minority.

There's just too little reason for the rest of the playerbase to ever visit the wards. Maybe seasonal events could be held in the wards instead?
A probable solution would be to get rid of personal housing in the wards all together and just make them housing for FCs. That would surely increase the population of the wards as there would be significantly fewer wards. They can then just make personal housing instanced. Also, add high traffic NPCs to wards.
