Title: New Instances
Post by: Hunter on September 02, 2010, 01:55:15 am
Public Instances are now available in LDoN and PoFire. There are 2 for each of those zones. Just hail NPC for text.

Enjoy!

Definitely like the change, just to let people know each person has to pay to get into the instance so plan for it.

Its not a big deal - but just curious.

Is there a way to do a /who and get a head count on the other instances before going in?

I feel like i need to say it again so i dont sound cheap! If there isnt a way i dont care im just interested :P

To be honest i care more about zoning in to find out its packed and having to zone out again - more of a question of laziness.

guess its kind of a gamble, then

when you pay 2k, are you allowed to go into that instance forever with that toon? or do you have to pay 2k again every ____ hours/days?

The instance is good for 24 hours. However, if you die, you will have either be rezzed or pay again.

Why is there a charge for the 2nd and 3rd public instance? Is it paid up for everyone when the first person pays the pp to create it or does everyone who wants to enter the instance have to pay as well?

So if I want to take my 6 box in will I have to pay 6 x 2k to get all my toon in the same instance every time they want to go in to it?

It looks that way yes.  When you hand over the cash it teleports you.  So 1k/2k per character, and if you leave you have to pay again.

Think of it as a night club its open to the public but you cant tell how many are inside till you pay the cover fee and once you leave your back to paying the cover fee per instance.

Just cross your fingers that you dont get through the door and find out its filled with men.

lol..

Well you can do this..
/who all XYZ
(10 players)
Then go inside the first free instance and do
/who
(6 players)
Then you know there are 4 players in the other 2 instances...  That's about the best we got I guess... besides just asking..

Yup, thats about the best you'll get. Price slows people down from zoning back and forth so much trying to wtfpwn all 3 zones at the same time.

just wondering if the instances are meant to kick you out after 5 mins.

Had some thing happen to me,I paid 6k,2k per 3 toons...instance lasted all of 7 minutes and was booted.


Title: Re: New Instances
Post by: Balthor2 on September 03, 2010, 08:44:14 am
probably because someone paid and it set the initial 24hour timer

I didnt pay attention last night when I used it - perhaps one of you did.

When you zone into the instance does it tell you how long is left on the life of the instance?


Title: Re: New Instances
Post by: sohami on September 03, 2010, 11:41:31 am
is there a way to make the zone dedicated and keep the 2k fee?

otherwise, a way around it might be to code it so every 2k resets the timer.

Yes soon as ya zone into the instance it lets ya know how long is left.

Why not have it tell you prior to zoning in?  I'm pretty new to the server but I fail to see the awesomeness to a public instance that isn't up constant.  Just make the two instances revolving and keep the entry charge on it.

This should be fixed as soon as Hunter tests my script I posted a day ago.
