    CLL spawns hour after enough rank 10 player enters the instance.
    There is no other spawn requirement.

    But the worst thing is, that very often CCL is spawning while any other CE is running
    So it often has just 3 players joining because everyone else is in a CE and can not escape without losing mettle.

    That's a huge flaw and they need to fix it, otherwise you will get more and more frustrated player who waited a hour for nothing.

    That's not really an issue anymore. With the Castrum spawntime no longer a secret, usually enough people in the instance are keeping track of the time. Even if you don't know yourself you can always ask in Shout when Castrum will be up. Just plan around it and don't join any CE like 10 minutes before CCL will pop.

    This weekend it was just the other way around: With everyone planing for Castrum, some normal CEs often had only like 1-3 people in their queuing list. We have already shifted from "Oh no, only a handfull of people are queing for Castrum, guess we won't make it" to "Oh no, there are more of 48 people for Castrum, I hope I'll make the cut".

    Still an issue. Had a run of Castrums just last night that didn't even reach 20 people because people had hopped into CEs that started right before the pop meaning they either die and go back to base and then register, of do their current CE.

    Did anyone announce in shout chat that Castrum would be starting in x minutes and not to join any other CE's?

    If so, then the issue is that people chose to not play Castrum, and prioritised those other CE's. That's player agency and you can't really fault that.
    If not, then the problem is that nobody informed anyone of when Castrum was starting.

    Yes to the first. The people in the CEs were complaining that about being stuck in the CEs, or losing a butt load of mettle. Not to mention we ran into a lot of inaccurate callouts.
