<p>72.129.215.86: </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 ''[[The Realm Online]]'', ''[[EverQuest]]'', ''[[Anarchy Online]]'', ''[[City of Heroes]]'', ''[[Everquest2]]'', ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', ''[[Dark Age of Camelot]]'', ''[[Eve Online]]'' and ''[[Guild Wars]]''. This last one uses instancing extensively to help make the product free of monthly fees.<br /> <br /> The use of instancing is a hotly debated topic among the MMORPG industry.
