* On one server

Very nice to hear. Zoned games really kill the MMO aspect.

Thanks, Mr. A!

I guess it would look a bit like this:


A little bit of instancing for overly crowded areas is a good thing. It might even aid immersion when it prevents you from seeing a massive crowd camping some spawn just to slay it in seconds and then wait for another respawn...

thats smart solution for the initial rush, even mighty Blizzard couldnt think off such elegant solution.

[SoraNashimi]

thanks for the info

[Cylicon]

I agree that that's a great idea :O. Would take away from all the crying about who took whos mobs hehe, well maybe.

[Xanderstrom]

as long as it's just for the starter zones it should be fine. Hopefully they will have enough space for the endgame crowd

[hogo]

you won't be able to pk friendly race for ksing your mobs so i think this is very good idea which should temporarily solve ksing problem.

[Otium]

As soon as Aion comes out, thousands of players will be at the newbies zone, making it almost impossible to kill something without being KSed. It's a smart move, and will provide us the opportunity to test all the controls and interface peacefully. Thanks.
