I've been a bit stupid.
In separating the Instancing mechanics from the interface, I've separated the very easy part from the part everyone's been talking about.
So for the time being, consider this a primer for people (including myself) to fully understand the implications of instancing mechanics and problems.
Go ahead and put your objections and stuff here, in bite-sized, easily-parseable form. Maybe this'll be useful in giving us a good overview of what problems a new instancing scheme has to solve.
The Plan
There are only two categories of Ages, plus the neighborhoods.
Public Ages
- Open areas in Ae'gura are public. Isolated areas are private and will be partially enumerated later. (1)
- Individual neighborhoods are, strictly speaking, public as well. (It's the Bevin neighborhood prototype, not the 'hoods themselves, that can be said to be 'hood-instanced.) The new/revamped invitation and membership mechanisms can control access to each 'hood.
- Perhaps there should be one Bevin-type neighborhood (Bevin itself?) that is entirely public, for neighborhood story events.
Private Ages
All areas not listed above are private. This includes all ABM/PotS/MO:UL Ages, even the formerly 'Hood instanced ones. It seems to me that the main problem with the instancing of these Ages is controlling who gets end-of-Age rewards.
- For the Uru Prime/PotS Ages, you can only "complete" the Age in your private instance.
- For the MO:UL gardens and such with extremely limited gameplay mechanics, you can complete the Age in any instance.
In addition, certain areas of Ae'gura are private:
- The Tokotah journal rooftop
- The Kadish gallery
- Balconies
- The Great Zero
- Etc.
Objections/Exceptions
Name of objection.
Content of objection goes here. This should be one or two sentences concisely describing the objection or alleged exception to the rules stated in The Plan.
- Anyone with a concise rebuttal to an individual exception may post it in an italic list item after the exception text. Conversation threads deeper than one objection and its top-level rebuttals should probably be moved to the talk page.
