German Com rep response to "reservation system for dungeons".

[Rinsui]

I doubt the technical limit on instances will be a single digit number. WoW is able to handle many instances of the same instance (lol). Heck, they even have a cross-world dungeon system (which, while I don't like the idea, is impressive for how difficult it must have been to implement).

Don't underestimate SE.
They managed to have an auction-house replacement that constantly crashed
and currently reached its limits in U'dah although servers are almost empty.

ZOMG WOW can do like 20-30 instances at the same time why can't SE do it!

a.) we don't know the limit yet so why complain and speculate when we have no info yet

b.) the total poly count in 1 of these instances looks very VERY high, with multiple paths and several level's to clear your talking one massive instance, I bet we get 10 groups at a time and I doubt much wait times when it does go live.

Does anyone have more experience with WOW who could also compare poly's within an instance? I think from my rough knowledge of programming (yes I program for a living-SQL client server socket stuff) I'd say the conversion might be on the order of 1 to 10. Where 1 instance of these new dungeons is about 10 in a typical WOW instance.
