Letter From the Producer IX.

[Arcell]

Those aren't dungeons, they're stacked battlefields. Dungeons are places like Crawler's Nest, Beastmen Lairs, Grand Palace of Hu`xoi, Promyvion etc.

But the western take on dungeons are what a lot of people seem to dislike because it doesn't feel like an MMO when you spend 99% of your time in instances.

Except for the fact that instances are only going to be used for dungeons, all of the content we currently have plus whatever else they add is still open world and not instanced. Even games like Aion have a huge open world you can explore and a handful of instanced dungeons.
