Non instanced dungeons. An under-looked game design method in XI

[Irzibe]

Alfortis, thanks for your OP. One of the things I miss the most in this game, when I compare it to my recollections of XI, is the sense of attachment to the geography, which was achieved by making me experience it. But if this game keeps on polling and surveying to make design decisions, the hurried masses will move us away from a significant non-instanced world, and into the ready-made instances-cum-teleport.

You and I will spend hours trying to convince those that disagree with those among us that believe that slower is better; but they won't bother even to entertain conjecture of it. They want their snap-snap levels, and their chop-chop achievements for yesterday, so that they can all Q Q about how bored they are today, and how little content there was in the last patch.

LOLOLOL so true.
