== Instanced Map System ==

Regisfall features an Instanced Map System that allows players and groups to explore dungeons and participate in encounters within their own private copies of the game world.

Unlike traditional open-world dungeons, where multiple groups share the same environment, instanced maps provide a dedicated space for each participating group. This allows encounters to be designed around specific challenges, group sizes, and objectives without interference from other players.

=== How Instanced Maps Work ===

When a group enters an instanced dungeon, the server assigns them a separate copy of the dungeon map. Although the environment appears identical to its counterpart in the main world, the instance operates independently

'''Private Dungeon Environment''': Each group receives its own instance, preventing interference from other groups

'''Independent Encounters''': Creatures, objectives, and encounter progression are unique to each instance

'''Group-Based Access''': Players participating in the same dungeon run are placed together within the same instance

'''Persistent Instances''': Active instances are maintained through server restarts, allowing ongoing dungeon runs to remain intact

'''Return to the Main World''': Upon leaving an instance, players are returned to the main Felucca world

Multiple groups can participate in the same dungeon simultaneously without encountering one another.

=== Instanced Dungeons and Time Trials ===

The Instanced Map System is primarily used for Regisfall's [[Time Trial Dungeons | Time_Trials]], which challenge players to complete a series of encounters as efficiently as possible.

Instance Restrictions

To preserve the integrity of instanced encounters, certain travel mechanics are restricted.

Travel Between Worlds: Spells and abilities that would allow players to bypass normal instance entrances or exits are restricted.

Mounts: Mount usage may be restricted depending on the dungeon or encounter.

Exiting Instances: Players must use the intended exit mechanics rather than conventional world-travel methods.

These restrictions prevent unintended access to active instances and ensure that dungeon encounters function as designed.

Instance Persistence

Regisfall's instanced maps are designed to remain functional across server restarts.

Active dungeon instances retain their identity, allowing the server to distinguish between separate dungeon runs even after a restart.

This system also allows the server to manage multiple active instances simultaneously while keeping each group's environment and encounter progression separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can two groups enter the same dungeon at the same time?

Yes. Each group is assigned its own instance, allowing multiple groups to participate in the same dungeon independently.

Can players from another group interfere with our dungeon?

No. Players in separate instances cannot interact with one another, even when occupying the same coordinates within the dungeon.

Are instanced maps different from regular dungeons?

Instanced maps use the same underlying world environment, but each instance functions as an independent copy. Regular open-world dungeons remain shared environments.

What happens if the server restarts?

The instance system supports persistence across server restarts, preserving active instance identities. However, individual encounter behavior may depend on the dungeon's specific mechanics.

Can I teleport directly into or out of an instance?

No. Travel mechanics that would bypass the intended instance entrance or exit are restricted.

The Instanced Map System provides the foundation for Regisfall's private dungeon encounters, allowing more controlled challenges, independent group progression, and competitive Time Trial experiences while preserving the shard's traditional open-world gameplay.
