Zone Instancing

[trevius]

LOL, 10 hours every day is casual? :P

Actually my reason for not being at the top all of the time was because I loved my guild and it was considered a family raiding guild. We still raided every day, but it wasn't really mandatory like some hardcore guilds. We also didn't use DKP. I could have joined the top guild at any time, but they were mostly just asses. Though, my guild was 2nd or 3rd on the server for most of the time we were there. We were also one of the longest lasting guilds (just recently broke up), mainly due to the awesome people in it.

Sorry to derail the thread a bit. I am excited to try out this instancing code when I get some time. Hopefully in the next few days I will try adding and compiling it and I will report back on my findings

All I can say is that after LDON the community outside of each individual guild and the bazaar practically ceased to exist and EverQuest didn't feel like EverQuest to me anymore. And I blame it on the instancing.

thats because all smart people went to LDON =P
cuase thats where XP and loot were.
Rather than to shout for 45 min in the middle of Dreadland /45 ranger lfg, and then log out due to frustration
I had 100 times more good groups during my 6 month of LDON, than all 4 previous years before that.

Because people are forced to do something to keep up doesn't mean that it's good.
I work my ass off because I have to pay the bills, that doesn't mean I have a good job.
