Do VR and Non-VR players play together in "silver" and "gold" areas?

omegabiscuit
So I am a little cofused on how the whole VR leveling "silver" and "gold" areas thing work. So when I get to veteran ranks, does this mean that when I go to the area of the opposing faction, I will see non veteran players killing the same monsters and doing the same quests as me? If so, does this mean that if I start killing a monster than it will be a veteran level monster and lower people would not be able to kill it?

Also, when Orsinium is released are we going to see a crazy amount of people in there from all three alliances, or will Orsinium be instanced to limit the number of people you see in there (similar to the way the main hub in Destiny works).

I apologize for sounding like a noob, but these questions have been on my mind for some time.

    As to Cadwell, you play only with other vets of the same alliance.

    Unless someone manages to finish the main quest before VR1, of course.

    I've seen a couple of those, makes me cringe. Hopefully they were just there to grind.

    but are you saying that each area has pre set level ranges kinda like the areas you go through from 1-50? Because I don't understand how areas can scale to your vr lvl when other people of different vr levels are in the same area

    They don't
    The only areas (other than group dungeons) that scale at all are Cyro and Orsinium to come. Those don't scale that way, tho You are scaled to Them.

    That would be awesome, but nope. You are in a different shard than those who's native aliance zones it is.

    I can't speak to Orsinium for sure, but I'm guessing the only cross-alliance stuff is what has been set up in dungeion groups.

    As to Cadwell, you play only with other vets of the same alliance. All mobs are vet level, same as players. It is not at all cross-alliance. And the quests are the same as if you played the zones from level 1 in that alliance (just a little tougher, from being vet level).

    Each alliance has its own version of each area. Im Ad so my zones are dominion 1-50 pact area for silver and daggerfall for gold. The only place you interact with other alliances is in cyodil or imperial city (the pvp areas)

    The zones have pre-set levels but players can be any level, as low as 45 (minimum needed for main quest) up to v16. Silver zones mobs range from v1 progressing to v5. Gold is v6-v10. Players are free to tackle any level to which they feel capable. They need only complete the zone access requirements.
