I realize that. I said that I don't believe it exists in the form that I said it woudl exist, e.g., zones having a 20 or 30 person limit (that anyone can zone into) but once the zone fills up, unless you're in a party with someone in the same instance, you can't enter it and you go into a new zone. The same style stuff that is done with games like Champions Online, DDO, and, if I'm not mistaken, TERA as well, to keep things from being over-crowded in zones.

It's instancing, but it's still public so it doesn't take away the community aspect. But at least it might alleviate the currently dismal raid scene we have now.
