walking in stations will all be instanced.
why. because they dont have any netcode for the characters and the actual characters themselves are way too highpoly to have multiple on the screen. so everything will be instanced.
lets take a moment and laugh at ccp. claimed they would never have instances in their game, as we get instances.

Its called LOD, and is already common in games where you can zoom the camera out, or view items from a long distance-the further from the camera, the lower detail its rendered in offten droping polygons and using a simpler texture. ---- --- ---

Meh for sure you never played Everquest and did an old trip tru Bazaar with everything on high, a place with more than 500ppl in busy servers was doable and that was back like 5-6 years ago.

First, let's ignore the fact that what the OP actually said in his post makes no sense. Second, given that logic, Eve has always been instanced when you're docked up.

Eve has always been instanced. Jita is an instance. As is every other solar system in the game. It's just not an exclusive instance, bound to a set amount of players.
The OP could, of course, claim that every solar system in the game is run off the same process, something that would be terribly wrong. Since it's not like that, the OP is meaningless.
The new station evironments will be like what we've always had, I suppose. Non-exclusive instances that are open to the rest of the game world. ---

If you've seen the state of the render and taken a quick think about some of the clearly visible problems/performance issues(since heh, there are loads of hints in the frames), you'll know how far they are from having the time/effort do go down that road. They're also using physx for cloth sim, which is completely unsustainable (don't listen to the marketing material, really) so its unlikely they'll want more than a handful of characters in anything near full detail. Quite funny that they're fighting with concepts that were 'current' in 2003/4 and not even bothering to learn the lessons from back then. I guess Iceland is a cut off pool of talent, but why they don't work on gfx/WiS etc in their US office... :iiam: (and if they do, perhaps shop around a bit more)

Sadly op might be right ...IF CCP manages to implement WIS at all :)
@Saju Somtaaw wont help, CCP cant even manage to make a char customisation editor thats usable and responsive, and thats ONE char on the screen.
@Sadayiel You cant compare old game with seasoned 3D coders that ate teeth making massive open world 3D engines to CCP. Look at Captains quaters "performance".

If you go onto Duality you will see the performance is a good 10x what you get for the CC (on lower end systems, but not through the floor low).

Huh? Every solar system is already an instance. They're just accessible for everyone, but they're all instances nevertheless.

everquest was much better coded than eve is and everquest graphics were designed to handle lots of things on screen at once.
wis isnt, the models are way too highpoly for even top of the line machines to handle more than 10 or so
