"Where were you? You were supposed to kill the boss?"
"I did! You guys weren't there."
"What's going on?"
Yep, we'd wound up in separate instances!

I actually don't know anyone totally brand-new to mmos these days; this works the same way here as it did in WoW and RIFT when I played them.
The devs could probably add something more specific in without too much trouble. What I'd rather see is an option to change instances on my own, for instance (pun not intended) when all the foul fishing holes in Summerset or wherever are failing to respawn....
Maybe the thing to do is to reword the message so that it says "Your group leader is in a different server shard, do you want to join them?", or something similar.it asks if you want to teleport to your group memeber once you're invited it doesn't let you know if you guys are in different instance's so let's say there is a situation and what if the guys who are new are in the same city and they invite each other WITHOUT KNOWING they would be in different instances what do you think they would assume on what's going on?Sylvermynx wrote: »Does the game not ask any more if you want to move to your group member(s)?
