Reason I ask is because EQ had alot of zones. Zones make pvp hard when you get people jumping back and forth.

I agree with you that zoning in PvP wasn't a lot of fun :) You can read the thoughts of Sigil in regards to instancing here. Join the Vanguard Community - Vanguard at Ten Ton Hammer

The game is riddled with zones, they are called chunks from what I have been told. As I stated in another post, I watched a friend zone over a dozen times while moving forward a hundred yards or so due to a jagged zone line in the middle of the desert!!!! Check around some you will find that Burrix's post is total crap.

VG is running a seamless world using a tech method similar to the method employed by Lineage 2. It works just peachy having played L2 quite a bit which is a PVP centric game. The only difference is that VG's world design is volumetric so the areas can be stacked vertically in 2km by 2km by 2km segments. Last time I checked cubes don't have jagged lines.

There currently is hitching between the chunks; how noticeable depends on your computer and will eventually depend on that and how much more we get optimized. Haven't paid much attention to it recently but I think it's a second or so on my laptop at home. Not sure what you saw but it wasn't a "jagged zone line." Flag on the field?

Lineage 2 does it just fine. VG is shooting for it as well but also vertically instead of just on the xy plane.

Zone in Vanguard will be a bit like the open spaces in Anarchy Online or WOW, you will have an invisible line where the new zone starts, and the speed of zone loading will depend on the speed of your computer. You will be able to see everything beyond the invisible line, which you will notice only if you have a slow computer. Anyway, it won't be nothing as slow as EQ2 most likely it will be as fast as WOW when it will be optimized, therefore you shouldn't notice anything.
