Instanced Gameplay?

I read an article on IGN stating that "dungeons" will be instanced... but will the world itself be instanced? One thing I didn't like so much about CoH was how every zone you went to took time to load. I'd like to see bigger zones or removal of zones altogether.
Anyone know what zoning will be like?

I'm not sure if this was discussed in the Faq or not.
HOwever, I believe that instanced gamepay is something we should expect more of, not less of. Future MMOs have a high expectation for complicated graphics and large scale battles despite spec limitations of the computer. IN this down global economy, people are not updating or purchasinng new rigs as often as they had in the past. As such, something has to give in order to keep things reasonable. INstancing is a solid way to enhance gameplay while keeping a computers processing burdon down

I think there is a high probability of a lot of instances in this game..

I'll probably do an in-depth review once the NDA drops. I'm not a member of the press so unfortunatelty, my NDA hasn't dropped yet.

Because, becomign a member of the press, in this day in age, is so hard.
Seriously, do you watch CNN or MSNBC? They're always like "follow me on Twitter and read my blog!"... if that's all it takes to be a member of the press, I know nobody (except my parents) who AREN'T members of the press.

NDA aside, I haven't seen one instance on my room mate's computer yet...

Well, to answer my own question, the game will *somewhat* be instanced. Yes there will be instances... but the world is not free roaming... and each area will have a loading screen in between. I am not in beta yet, but the view from the leaked videos has led me to such....

My friends, REALLY will be some instances. Some of them wil be for "alone or party" and some "public" (also called zones)

We can continue this discussion on the *other* board if you'd like. This way you won't have to *wink* anymore.
