Instances

General
Instances are transient locations, all combat orientated online gameplay occurs in such areas. The best way to visualize instances is of thinking of them in this way: If you decide to enter a location called Demon Alley with a group of friends, this is 'your' instance of Demon Alley; you will never meet another group of players also in a Demon Alley instance. This is in contrast to stations, of which are persistant locations. If you enter a station, you can meet up with many other players, whether you like it or not. In instances, only the people you want to be playing with you are actually there. For those familiar with Guild Wars, the game used a similar model.
Friends and Instances
You can invite your friends to join an instance, they can transport themselves to the player's location so long as they are part of the same group. Players can even switch instance if they so choose.
