Travelling between Zones

Would there be a loading screen shown when travelling between zones in WAR or would it be continuous without any pause what so ever?

    So far, Mythic hasn't released any information on the transition between zones, to my best knowledge. They are focusing more on creating the races and classes, i believe.

    True. But I just hope the transition between zones woulld be smooth and continuous without any loading screen showing. It just ruins the feel and effect of how big the scale of the world when there's a pause when travelling.

    I say most probably there will be loading screens of some sort, WoW style.

    Why? because the 3 pairs take place in drastically different places in the world, especially the Elves. To make a smooth travel it would mean that you have to pass trough something like 5 times the whole Human map and why exactly the devs would do so much empty terrain that it will never be used?

    Beside, most of it will be on the sea anyhow and i do not think it funny to pass 30 minutes a top a griffin while looking endless and all the same sea... you?

    I would bet/count on loading zones between the three major zones (Greenies v Dwarves, Chaos v Humans, and Elves v D.Elves)  but I would think they keep it seamless within the zones of the different Realms (for lack of better term).  In DAoC there are not loading screens within the realm, only when entering dungeons, frontiers, capital cities, or traveling between the expanded continents.

    Well sure, maybe there should be loading when it comes to crossing vast oceans and deserts to lessen the travel time. But when it comes to transfering from one map to another nearby adjacent map, I believe there should be a smooth transition with no loading screens.

    As Ark posted I'd imagine there will be some loading screens but Mythic has done a great job in keeping large areas of the game "load screen" free in DAoC so I'd be willing to bet WAR won't disappoint.
