So, SE, it's great that you decided to make multiple instances of the first few zones. It's great that I can ostensibly choose which of the instances to enter if I enter by foot. It's substantially less great that there appears to be no way to enter said zones by foot, and therefor no way to easily get to the same instance as party members. I shouldn't have to spend in-game currency just to party with my friends.

If you're going to have multiple instances of the same zone to ease congestion, it needs to be simple to move from one to the other, or you need to ensure that party members are grouped together. I shouldn't have to fight your RNG just to be in a party.

That said, this is one of my only gripes about the launch, as servers have been mostly stable. Of course, I'm writing this while the game isn't letting me connect to data centers, but I was online almost 10 straight hours on launch day, so that's saying something. . .
