An instance dynamically creates a zone whenever somebody is ready to use that content... and also it doesnt place a limit on the number of people who can do the content at once....

Im sure people hated standing in line for hours to do Fiat Lux and I've been locked out of moblin maze for hours before because of overcrowding.

Instances save processing power and relieve congestion created by having static zones always running...

However, I don't believe it is within the dev teams capacity to change ffxi to support instances...

Instances are good... but not practical for ffxi :\
I'm aware of what instances are, the thing I dont like is the cross server fights, too reminiscent of wow.
