No. Zone != Instance.

A zone can mean multiple things in TR and is just a general term. In other words, Divide is a zone which in this case is a battlefield. In a battlefield everyone on this server can run into each other, it isn't limited. Caves of Donn is an instance which is a type of zone but can't be classified the same was as zone. If everything were classified that way that would mean that Caves of Donn == Divide or Caves of Donn == Arieki. Which it isn't. In MMORPGs an instance means 99.99% of the time, an area sectioned off for you or your group. No one but you or your group is allowed into this area thus it is an instance. So to end it, a Zone != an Instance other than the fact that it's part of that general term just like Divide is a battlefield zone amd Arieki is a Planetary Zone.


 * Agreed. Imperium, the system you're promoting is confusing and breaks the hierarchy.  Instances are PARTS OF a zone.  Battlefield == Zone.  Just because TR decided to rename zones to battlefields does not change what they are.  I am reverting your removal of the instance system here.  --Bal 22:58, 26 August 2007 (EDT)


 * Also, what's the point of the Name= ? Just properly name the image.

 * In code, the classification of a zone is any type of Space World in which players can interact with objects, cut off by markers, and transitioned by set lines. If you want to rename them all, be my guest. Just realize I'm adjusting the template to what wasn't fixed. In my eyes, if you make a fix, you better complete it 100%, otherwise, it's still broken.
 * Now, as for the Zone vs Instance vs Battlefield debate: Caves of Donn is a Zone. Wilderness is a Zone. Caves of Donn can NEVER be in Wilderness because it's not feasible, unless you want to add a fifth dimension (fourth being time). You can argue all you want how it is attached, but you are just enforcing my point: Instances are attached, which means not in. Instance is a type of Zone. Battlefield is a type of Zone. I bet you could take a look at TR, WoW, PS2, EQ, EQ2, and all the other MMO, and you will see only one type being used with a variable inside of the type as 'type' which can be 'instance' or 'battlefield'. If you want to add a little thing that says 'Attached to:', 'Linked to:' or whatever, I'm ok with that. However, I refuse to allow something that insinuates that a instance is inside of a zone.
 * Ok, fine, but the way the rest of the wiki is setup (Atlas), instances are something inside their parent zone. Therefore, this hierarchy should be repeated elsewhere. --Bal 00:53, 27 August 2007 (EDT)
