I dont understand why people think WoW is an "open world". It was instanced just like AoC was.

WAR has instanced scenarios which are kind of like WoW BG's. Some of the dungeons are instanced like in WoW. Part of the capital city siege is instanced. The world itself including the world RvR zones and the fortress sieges etc are all non instanced.

Eve is mass world, WOW is instanced server split world... and AOC is even worse that that. I hope Warhamer is not one little bit like wow or aoc so I will at least try it. No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.

I don't remember any instances in WoW apart from dungeons and battlegrounds. Can someone explain? Thanks :) Waiting for: A skill-based MMO with Freedom and Consequence. Woe to thee, the pierce-ed.

I dont understand why people think WoW is an "open world". It was instanced just like AoC was. No, not at all. I have to wonder if you even played WoW. Each continent was made up of multiple zones with seamless borders...none of them instanced. Only dungeons are instanced in WoW.

I dont understand why people think WoW is an "open world". It was instanced just like AoC was. You cant be serious? I'm not generally one to defend WoW but WoW was/is HARDLY instanced the way AoC is. AoC is like Guild Wars in the fact that everything is seperated into seperate copies of the same zone. Thats right, EVERYTHING. Not just some dungeons. Lemme ask you this, when you go to the barrens in WoW was there 10 diffrent coppies of it on the same server? Nope just one. 10 diffrent coppies of a quest hub in AoC there was many diffrent coppies of that same quest hub on a single server. Not even close to the same thing.\ As to WAR. Well NDA is still up, sorry. But if you listne to what podcasts say about instancing you will get the idea.

Every single "zone" is instanced as you have to take a jumpgate(loading screen) to get there. So yes each one is an "instance" and individual zone. Sure WAR and WoW used Tunnel zoning but honestly I dont know of ANY game that uses a completely open world. WoW, WAR, EQ, those are abotu as open as current MMOs can get. Sure in the future we may have something that is truly and completely open in every direction but until then this is what we have.

Asherons call. Now THAT was an open world.

I suggest you look up what instancing is, because you obviously don't understand the technology.

The player base definition of instancing is multiple copies of the same zone such that I can be standing in a spot of the world and a friend can be standing in the same spot and I cannot see him because he is in a different instance. If you are trying to use some other definition of the word (what most people call zoned) then that is probably what is causing part of the issues.

If you are trying to use some other definition of the word (what most people call zoned) then that is probably what is causing part of the issues. Zoning is not instancing. It's not a matter of "seperate" definitions. If he thinks instancing is the same as zoning, he's plain and simply wrong.
