isn't that about the time VI sold to Sony?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

a common misconception.

SONY owned VI since the day one, and original VI TEAM was in charge of development as late as PoP, and then was RENAMED into SOE

So if you want to blame anyone for things past Velious- blame Verant themselves [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As far as instancing goes- it worked half decently for LDON, but completely killed competitive raiding. Yes, pre-Luclin raiding in EQ actually sucked, but purely due to low number of actual raid targets. With Luclin/PoP this number doubled, the solution to raiding overcrowding was to add more different raid targets, not made them instanced.
