We talked a lot about whether to make these an open-world thing or put them in an instance where you are alone. The whole point of the event is to bring the community together, so we decided to make it an open-world practice area.

There are three “slots” to practice on, and each run only takes a minute to complete, so I think it should be usable by quite a lot of people without being a big bottleneck.

Of course, we’ll see how it goes. But I would like be optimistic and think that people will enjoy hanging out, offering tips, and watching others do their runs, which is a better scenario than everyone off in their own personal instance grinding alone for an hour straight…this is an MMO, after all.
