Instance

An instance is a special area, typically a quest area, that generates a new copy of the location for each player or group that enters the area. Players cannot see other players in instanced areas unless it a group instanced area - in which case the group cannot see any other groups.

Instanced areas can take place in entirely new areas that cannot be accessed without the instance or in areas that are normally not instanced.

Examples of instanced areas include:

Instance shard worlds

Main article: Instance shard world

Instance shard worlds are special worlds (or servers) that have been sharded off from the rest of the servers. They cannot be accessed via the world select screen. Currently, only the TzHaar Fight Pit global world, Flash Powder Factory, Crucible, the Burthorpe Games Room global world and all Clan Citadels are located on instance shard worlds.
