Todays question.

    Fb59 was always the best. Especially back in the day when you needed a full squad. LF cleric last spot for fb59😂

    Would also be fb59 for me. I still remeber the very first time I did it. Was on my archer Chasazuma. I remember ofotis (w.e wood name was) being so pretty when I turned the max settings up.

    I like Lunar because it was challenging but not overwelming or to long or gimmicky ( when i say gimmicky i mean traps like Dawn hall or FSP) or puzzles like UP

    I agree with most the posters here. And love the use of the word 'gimmicky'. That describes the new instances perfectly. I think most players prefer the older instances, where a player could actually have fun, and enjoy it, as opposed to being one shotted because you weren't in the right place, at the right time, or whatever. There's plenty of other games out there for people that enjoy puzzles and strategy games. Just my .02

    Back in the day I really liked Delta. I had a friend teach me how to do it before I was level 100, back when you used to do it at the eye and not at the spawn point. I used to do the running quests a lot for my squads. I'd even join BH runs before I even hit 100 I liked it that much. It's a shame that nowadays people aren't keen to do runs that take hours but things and attitudes can change a lot over time. Even now I'd probably not be too keen to spend 4 hours in a full Delta.

    I'm sure if I had been exposed to it in my lower levels I probably would've liked Alpha/Beta/Gamma too, but surprisingly I never did any of those runs.

    My favorite instance in PWI ever is one and only Twilight Temple back in the days when you needed full squad to be able to stay alive there. Oh man...that place in 2008/09 was nightmare. I still remember drumers nasty AOE where BB was a must. But not only that...that place when I entered for the first time was magical and wierd at the same time. =D That combination of mystical music, confusing halls, strange designed mobs and bosses, drops, forges with new green glow shiny weaps for level 60...(omg..must...level up...from 59...to wear that green magic sword..dat dmg *.*)...ah...memories...^.^

    nirvana and caster nirvana when you could actually make money from it and TT, again, when you could actually make money from it! Now nothing, because you literally can not make any money from any instances... or not enough anyway.

    Twilight Temple. I loved it when we have been doing 3-3 with TT90 green gears and spent many hours to finish it. That was a real challenge. Countless deaths, infinite rage/laugh.

    Then sin class came out. It turned to be a solo cave, done in few minutes. I loved that too. I was able to farm tons of money and spend time alone.

    These times are long gone, but will always make my heart wavering.

    My favorite is IBU and sadly its damn hard to get a squad together for it. Its 15 minutes of fast paced fun. Of old hmmm probably nirvana, although i cant say i am sorry that the old aps craze died :pensive:

    I think its only fair I answer this question as well.

    So my favorite all time Instance has to be Caster Nirvana! - I did countless Caster Nirvana nights ( Doing back to back runs with many people ) and with the faction I was in at the time. An instance that catered to the Casters only as APPS had really taken over at that time.

    My Current Favorite instance has to be IBU! - Yes it hard to put a squad together, But when your going its a fast paced instance that has an end in 15Min so it dont mean your at it all night. In fact your prob spend more time putting a squad together than running the instance!

    So ill announce the Winner of the Auto Pot 30 days!

    It was a tough call and many of the reasons you like the caves where well remembered and made me think O YER that was that cave! One point however stood out to me and really made me think "I remember those days" and was also true to that instance.

    So Congratulations to...
