<p>12.218.114.218: </p> <hr /> <div>In ''[[MMORPG]]''s, an '''instance dungeon''' is a special area, typically a [[Dungeon (games)|dungeon]], that generates a new copy, or instance, for each group that enters the area. This ensures that there will never be competition ([[kill stealing]], [[spawn camping]]) over [[mob (computer gaming)|mobs]] within the instance and that [[player character]]s receive a minimum of [[lag]]. Instance dungeons may contain stronger than usual mobs and sought-after equipment.<br /> <br /> Games that have been known to use instancing include ''[[EverQuest]]'', ''[[Anarchy Online]]'', ''[[City of Heroes]]'' and ''[[Guild Wars]]''. The latter uses instancing extensively to help make the product free of monthly fees.<br /> <br /> ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' and ''[[Dark Age of Camelot]]'' also use this for Dungeons, but do not or only partly generate it randomly.<br /> <br /> The use of instancing is a hotly debated topic among the MMORPG industry.<br /> <br /> {{rpg-cvg-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Computer and video game gameplay]]<br /> [[Category:EverQuest]]</div>
