Before you talk shit you should probably fact check http://geekdictionary.computing.net/define/instance Instanced mmos by yout definition would be that the entire game is separate from other players, meaning patrol you would be all alone unless in a party.... Aka not an mmo then. However the true definition is that some games (albeit very rare) the entire world is not instanced and no matter where you go you can run into other players. Most mmos have instancing for the obvious purposes.. And before you try to be a smartass I could have posted several links that were not Wikipedia as well as wikipedia. I'll brb with a link for the definition of mmo.
