Maybe from that quote you didn't gather that if paying customers want more instanced play, (which is what everyone is used to) they will likely get it. They will not want to pay for a sub if they are restricted to only doing instanced battles every so often (however long that so often is, it won't be enough). Sony will undoubtedly give out greater access under the banner of "they want it, we already have it, lets just make it more available". At which point, the rift between the instanced players and MMO players widens. Whether we like it or not, the MMO nature of this game dictates that we have a large player base for meaningful combat to exist. We can't afford to have people getting distracted on instanced play trying to live out CoD in PS2. PS2 can not compete with titles like CoD MW3 and BF3, so why even bother? Beside instance play get booooring, they come out with a new CoD every year, PS1 is 8 years old and still going. big title FPS's can keep the instanced play, we can keep the MMO - nuff said.
So now it is on you, what is wrong with one continent devoted to outfit fighting? It allows for outfit vs outfit combat while at the same time preserving the MMO soul of PS.
