Athelan returned last week to answer 18 more questions about Age of Conan on our forums. The topics again covered a broad range and a few rumors were put to rest.
Check out the article in full here."Can you confirm
I've got the instancing setup for Conan correct (just
to be sure we're talking the same language, by instancing I mean merely
making a copy of a zone for any reason [for instance I'd call DDO
completely instanced, even the city zones], and not just limited to
dungeons/raids/etc.)?
Outdoors - not instanced
style="font-weight: bold;">
Cities - not instanced (?)
style="font-weight: bold;">
BKs - not instanced, no
player cap (?)
City building interiors -
instanced (?)
PvE cities - instanced
style="font-weight: bold;">
Tortage nighttime -
instanced
PvP minigames - instanced
style="font-weight: bold;">
Some (all?) dungeons -
instanced (some have caps of 100 players)
style="font-weight: bold;">
Anything else I'm missing? style="font-weight: bold;">"
style="font-weight: bold;">Athelan: "Your
summation is generally accurate. We do not instantiate Outdoor
area's etc as much as possible, but we do some quest areas, dungeons,
PvP mini game areas, and resource and building playfields (PvE player
cities)"
