Just have a few questions regarding the way RVR is going to work in this game. I keep hearing about campaigns and shards so my question is: If Im playing on one shard or campaign and my buddy bill is on another campaign, can we join aslong as we are on the same faction? I apologize if this has been answered but I couldnt find anything related.

its actually not irrelevant. they even state is some of the videos that eventhough everyone is on a giant server, the server will have different shards or campaigns for people
The answer is that none of us knows for sure yet. They've said that you are locked to a particular campaign for its duration. But they've also said you can visit your friend's campaign by spending some points you accumulate and can use for various things. I forget what they call them...realm points? i got the impression that there will be some limits on how often you can do it.
Across factions? Nope. You're racially locked into a faction and even when you go visiting, you'll be locked out of the other 2 factions.

Think its "faction points"... not sure tho
supposedly the "mega server" will automatically put you in the same instances as your friends and guild mates.
but if you just add a player to your friends list and they are already tied to a different one than you, that i am not sure about.
You can swap campaigns but it costs alliance points (pvp progression), devs have also mentioned a guesting system but not much is known about that yet.
