Why is the Thirsty Dog Inn in the corner of the map?

Always wondered this? Why isn't it in its own separate instance? Why is it put floating above the water in the corner of the map?

My guess is that they didn't want people to have to wait on a long loading screen when zoning back out from the inn into Tortage city. When the game was launched, few people had SSDs and loading screens could be a nightmare (plus the game was more likely to crash when zoning between playfields).

cynara is correct

Thirsty Dog Inn had its own instance at first, but they got rid of it to lessen the time spent loading during your hours in Tortage. It was a good decision, imo.

And also because it is bigger on the inside.

for the same reason the nightmare bubble "instance" is in the corner of the Paikang map

Damn all those invisible walls devs added during the years. I would love to explore this from the outside!
