Instance

An instance is a version of a zone that is allotted only to a single player or party. Unlike in towns which players may interact with other players and members of other parties, an instance excludes everyone else and reserves a copy of that area to the player or party that enters it, preventing interactions from other parties or players. In EarthOblivion, all existing dungeons and nests are instanced, as well as all other maps that are not town maps.
