Coulden't find this anyway, will AoC use instances heavily, some or none at all?

    From what I've gathered from interviews, the FAQ, and things fans have said, the PvP Area is going to be instanced because you can't fit everyone into one area and have guild keeps.  The Player cities area is going to be instanced because you can't fit all of the possible Player cities into one area.



    Other than that I'm not sure.  There will be raiding as well, no clue as to how many people it will require, but that content is usually instanced as well.



    The main world isn't instanced, but to me a lot of the interesting content is.

    how can the cities be instanced when anyone can go in them unless you have your gates closed? Maybe instance zones are not all like guild wrs? help me understand!   Plz

    In that it will be NOTHING like guildwars you are correct...

     

    The PvP area will NOT be instanced as far as what I have read, but the areas where player built citites are WILL be instanced so that there are not 100 cities piled on top of each other, they are not telling HOW that is exactly going to happen, and how allied guilds could get their cities in the same instance and whatnot, but to answer your original question:

     

    Yes there WILL be instances, and NO it will NOT be "instance heavy"....

    There will be instances and non-instances dungeons and other areas. but the vast majority of the world you run around in will NOT be instanced.

    I still dont understand how a city can be instanced, when ANYONE is allowed in a player run city according to funcom, as long as you dont have gates. It will be intersting to see how it works.

    no no no  they mean the area will have a cap to how many cities there can be  in that one area  just so that the cities will not be on top of each other

     

    the raid will be smaller then wow    about 25 man raid for the largest    there will be instances but  no instances wont be the only thing you do  

    so in answer to your question     they will have some instances

    Why wouldn't it work? Instance simply means load screen. DAoC for example...the major cities were all instanced.

    Actually if you watched one of the Dev's video about the raiding style and the Forums about it, the raids max are 60 characters, however seeing how it is in closed beta, the numbers can always change ^_^

    Wait? Whats this? 60?



    Id like to see proof of this information please. As various polls run on the official forums have indicated that raid sizes could be anywhere from 6 - 20 at the speculated time.
