The Elder Scrolls Online Brings Back Public Dungeons

Dungeon or instance is one of the most classic features in MMORPG and most MMOs we have today still have this kind of private areas. But in fact there is one type of dungeon called public dungeons and they can be found in old MMOs like EverQuest. Now Bethesda and Zenimax Online's new MMO The Elder Scrolls Online is going to bring the long forgotten feature back to life.
Game director Matt Firor told that "when you think back to the fun MMOG moments in the first generation (like EQ), it's standing there, terrified, in an enclosed space, waiting for someone to come along and save you. We can't do that punitive gameplay that they did in those days, but we can put people together in places where they want to work with others."
Since Elder Scrolls Online's main story is completely solo, public dungeons become an important place for socializing. "They're basically a space that's designed for people who are not grouped together to go into to fight," according to Firor. "It's a great place for people to connect with other players and they’re very important to us, although we still have instanced private dungeons and end-game raid dungeons for groups of up to six players too." These dungeons are soloable and there will be a lot of them. "Lots of creatures, very close together. Basically, if you solo it, you’ll need to find a place to heal, and then you might find another player there who’s exactly like you, and needs help, and then you can fall in together."
Bethesda will disclose more about The Elder Scrolls Online at the upcoming E3. Keep your eyes peeled!
