Today at World Chat two idiots started their discussion about Momaganon/Lothranis. So, it's map or instance (same for chrono worlds)?

    It's a map. Instance is something you can go into but won't run into other players unless they are in party with you. Same with Nightscream Island. b:victory

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    I always thought they were called common/open instances because they are still instances you have to be loaded into but you can run into other players. Thought that was the reason they chose SP for their dumb PK thing.....

    Either "shared instance" or "map" are acceptable. "Instance" by itself would suggest that it is actually instanced (one copy per squad) which is wrong.

    I would call Momaganon/Lothranis and OHT and such maps due to:
    Their size, the fact you can fly there and the fact there are general purpose npcs (for crafting, selling junk and repairing etc)

    Now secret passage and nightscream island are open instances to me since you can't fly there , there are no general purpose npcs and they are much smaller then the maps

    Well something is weird though.. Dunno how many noticed...

    U can embrace in SP and in Lothranis/Momaganon, but you can't on Nightscream nor in any OHT maps..

    So, makes me wonder.. The new area is supposed to be that kind of instance...Possible to embrace or not in it ?

    It would seem to me that Embrace/flight/certain pets/etc. are disabled on a case-by-case basis. :P You can't embrace in most FB/BH instances (I don't think), but you can do it in, say, Jungle Ruins.

    That would also explain the SP fiasco... somebody accidentally flipped the switch for forced PK mode. XD

    More commonly referred to as Heaven and Hell in-game. They are like OHT, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th map but more expansive. Both Momaganon and Lothranis have and FB99 instance - Abaddon and Seat of Torment - that have specific quest chains for those who choose to go either sage or demon in their culti. Also Momaganon and Lothransis have class training NPCs to learn sage and demon skills in their respective maps.

    So I would call them maps and not instances.

    Another reason I would consider Momaganon and Lothransis maps is because they do not reset upon leaving a squad like an instance does. No timer that boots you out. The only exception is Map 2 where you have to find Hero's blood to enter and it give you a time limit to be there but that's still considered a map.
    I **** bigger than you...

    Shut up and play the game.....Damn

    I'd go with shared instance.

    You wouldn't call the Cube a 'map', and it follows the parameters some of you use to define a 'map'.

    I second this. Cube etc Shared instances (Althought they do not reset) and Lothranis / Momag / maps as maps since your location appears on them. (Although the chrono maps are blacked out cos they like being confusing *******s).
    I've quit excluding TW for my faction. But I still hang around to help out those who still enjoy the game under PWEs horrific handling and to have fun in the forums. b:cute

    If you make a valid complaint, your thread will disapear. Don't post it here, post it on other sites where PW can't hide it.
