• • Fantastic Games Ruined By Instancing

  • I agree with the OP. I am pro-instance. Admittedly I can find fun in both, but if given a choice I would choose little to no instancing.
    
    If the MMO is that good, they will provide enough content, mobs, and just plain "things to do" other than be bottle-necked into a linear questline that every class, race, and faction MUST do.
    
    I like the open feeling. I like running into random people adventuring. Being benevolent. watching other players and groups. Maybe learn something from their strategy.
    Yes, I like trains. heh. I like natural "hangouts" , like outside of a castle zone or just inside.
    
    Wait,..am I an ol'school EQ fanboy? I guess so. I love the new games too but I guess it IS instancing that makes it all feel that much more different. Oh and the stupid quest bubbles above npc's heads,..lets not go there,.weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

• • Thank you for the whine threads!

  • I must admit, I used to be a No Instances in MY game person,..that was a long time ago. It's really not as big a deal as some make it out to be.

      City of Heroes used it alot and that game is still going pretty strong. In CoH, if your friend was in another instance, all you had to do was switch by zoning. Easy.

    If they want a seamless world so bad, there are other games out there too, like Vanguard,..although the chunk loading was pretty horrid at the start.

      Coming from an EQ1 background as my first MMO,..I don't care so much about Loading,..... I'm used to it,..hell we all used it to get away from trains and bad pulls,..lol,..

• • Remote Patch Download,..?!?!

  • I can't believe Antiz and I are the only ones who would be interested in this.

    Someone go on the official forums and tell those mods to post a downloadable executable patch that we can grab and bring home please!

     

    Bumpity bump!
