Like OMG! I did not know that!
[/sarcasm off]
If everyone doesn't know this by now, there's an issue. It's not as if this game is still new or anything.
And its why I didnt buy the game.
I've learned my lesson with GUILD WARS. A mindless MMO.
Lol, woot I can report those hacks that killed me in Blackrock Spire last night then!
World of Warcraft has instances, but the environment itself is largely open. I'd estimate around 10% of the map is instanced, if that.
Ico
Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.
Yeah WoW had only a hand full of instances every thing is open but for some quests or item XP and money grinding you can go to an instance.
If they were handing out awards for being stupid. I'm sure your name would be in the top 10. Maybe even the top 5. The only thing instanced in WoW is the BG's and Dungeons. Other then that the world for the most part is seamless.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.

Nerf is trolling out of complete boredom. As he has pointed out in other worthless threads of his creation, he cannot stand any of the MMOs out at the moment--they are all garbage according to him.
What he won't accept is that MMOs aren't his thing.
That may be true but about 99% of all lvl 60 content is instanced.
I really don't see the big deal in having an instanced dungeon though. Anyone who ever got in line to farm a boss can't really think that's imersive or better then your own dungeon for your group to explore can they ?
Erm instances are good :P
Plus the whole world is seemless with just 1 load time (between the 2 islands)

It's "Wow has INSTANCES". It's just the dungeons and battlegrounds. Not 100% instanced like GW. And it doesn't use instancing of zones like in EQ2. If there are 200 people in IF there are 200 people there. You don't have any IF 1 IF 2 and so on.
Holy freaking shit!
I thought it was long and pointy?

No Userbar here, sorry to disappoint.
Yes, there are instances in WoW. No, they dont take up a majority of the game. And they're also good. Blizzard introduced at least two non-instanced raid bosses and trying to kill them is quite an annoying task, as you have to fight him, the other side (horde or alliance), and have to watch out for newbies who get killed and cause the boss to regain an instant 70,000 health.
I wouldn't say WoW 'is instances'... only a few of the dungeon zones are actual instances. Even EQ1 and DAoC have instances now, so by your logic almost every MMORPG is instanced.
