Instance dungeon

In [[MMORPG]]s, an '''instance dungeon''' is a special area, typically a [[dungeon (games)|dungeon]], that generates a new copy, or instance, of the dungeon map for each group that enters the area. This saves server work and ensures that there will never be competition ([[kill stealing]], [[spawn camping]]) over resources such as [[mob (computer gaming)|mobs]] within the instance and that [[player character]]s experience minimum [[lag]].

This also preserves the gaming experience, since some gaming scenarios do not work if the player is continually surrounded by other players, as in a multiplayer setting. Instance dungeons may contain stronger than usual mobs and rare, sought-after equipment. They also may include level restrictions and/or restrict the number of players allowed in each instance to balance gameplay.

Instances were first proposed by [[Richard Garriott]] in the late 1990s as a way to solve a set of related problems which had become obvious in [[Ultima Online]]. The problem is simple to state: everyone wants to be "A Hero" and slay "The Monster", rescue "The Princess" and obtain "The Magic Sword". When there are 2,000 and more players all playing the same game, clearly not everyone can be a hero. The problem of everyone wanting to kill the same monster and gain the best treasure was terribly obvious in the game [[EverQuest]]. The creation of instances largely solves this set of problems. There are few examples of boss camping and kill stealing in [[World of Warcraft]] - because a copy of the dungeon (instance) is always created on demand for you or your party.

Games that have been known to use instancing include:
*''[[Age of Conan]]''
*''[[Anarchy Online]]''
*''[[City of Heroes]]''/''[[City of Villains]]''
*''[[Dark Age of Camelot]]''
*''[[Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach]]''
*''[[Dungeon Runners]]''
*''[[Runescape]]''
*''[[EVE Online]]''
*''[[EverQuest]]'' (Instances added with the Lost Dungeons of Norrath expansion)
*''[[EverQuest 2]]''
*''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' (instances added with the Treasures of Aht Urghan expansion)
*''[[Granado Espada]]''
*''[[Guild Wars]]''
*''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]''
*''[[Myst Online: Uru Live]]''
*''[[The Realm Online]]''
*''[[World of Warcraft]]''
*''[[Star Wars Galaxies]]''
*''[[The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar]]''
*''[[Tabula Rasa (computer game)|Tabula Rasa]]''
*''[[Auto Assault]]''
*''[[Phantasy Star Online]]''
*''[[MapleStory]]'' (Instances added with v.60)

[[Guild Wars]] takes almost the opposite approach, with every combat area in the game being instanced; the game world is strictly divided into Town / Outpost areas (Where you can meet other players) and Explorable / Mission areas, which are all instanced. Even Town / Outpost areas are themselves created on demand, with a new "district" of that town being created for every 100 players in it; players can move between these at will. This system provides the advantages for players of being able to play with players across the globe, as in EVE, along with the advantages in load scaling and resources of a traditional multiple server model for [[ArenaNet|the developers]].

''[[Vanguard: Saga of Heroes]]'' is another game that does not use instance dungeons. However, it is envisioned that, through the Advanced Encounter System (AES), certain "boss" NPCs can be triggered when a group enters an area; this NPC would then be "tagged" to that group, meaning no other players could attack or interact with it. AES was not implemented in the commercial release of ''V:SoH'', but Sigil programmers are reportedly working on it and are planning to release it in a future patch.

In [[RuneScape]], instances are used mostly in quests, so that other players cannot interfere with the player who is doing the quest, such as battling boss [[Non-player character|NPC]]'s or having to accomplish a special task. They are also used in certain 'minigames'.

Several games use instancing to scale the [[mob (computer gaming)|mobs]] to the players' levels, and/or the number of players present.
