Lets see,inside ncsoft there is too much difference.
Aion isn´t instanced like GW and TR is another kind of game although is obviously an MMO but something similar on request like aion (an open world >80%)
The Aion representative on these boards has already stated there will be some instancing. They claim about 10% of content will be instanced. It's hard to judge if that is too much without experiencing it in the game world but I personally dislike any and all types of instancing.

I believe the key words are: "instanced like Guild Wars" in which the game is 99% instanced. The OP didn't ask if Aion has instancing in general.
Unless game developers don't mind letting a bunch of campers and farmers inside public dungeons, you'll be seeing a lot of instancing.

In my opinion, Aion looks like a pretty kick-ass game. The graphics appear to be substantial and judging by other forum posts i've read its going to be one good game. It's free too
Although Aion looks good, i've heard the gameplay is poor so i'd look at it more on the net before you go and wast 3 Gigs of space on something that won't grab your attention.
Oh, it's not like Guild Wars at all - but i do know for a fact it can be great fun at times.

Aion is most definitely not free...
Game play poor? Not according to the numerous videos I've seen on youtube, looks fine to me.

hahahahahahahhahahaha thanks i needed a good laugh. You should take your own advice and look more into this game. Cause its painfully obvious that you havent looked into it at all.
a) Channeling on the starter area only when the game is released, channels removed after the initial rush.
b) Loading screens when porting to one of the 3 main zones (Elysea, Asmodae and the abyss). Loading screens will only happen on instantaneous teleports, like in Lineage II.
c) Small instanced dungeons for smaller guilds.
d) Instancing during quest cutscenes and special storylines (you travel to the past, etc).

I can vouch for this #. There was a character creator DL that was going around, allowing ppl to customize Aion characters. I don't realy know many of the details about it, the downloads were on our guild website, everyone seemed to get it to work except me. Anyways, the creator alone took up 3 gigs and we had someone who was playing in CBT3 who was complaining of the 20 gigs it took up.
NCsoft didnt developt guild wars.. it only published it. ArenaNet is the one that made GW NOT NCsoft.
If there is any game you want to compare with Aion, its lineage 2
he's just asking if Aion is instanced like GW not if GW was made by Ncsoft and therefore that Aion will be instanced aswell. Don't start posting useless posts if they don't make sense.
Yeah its open world. BTW why are people arguing so much about the differences between ncsoft's games? They arn't all the same as ncsoft is a developer and it would suck if all the games they made were the same as they would be hardly appealing to lots of markets.
P.S Whoever said Guild Wars was not made by NCsoft and Arenanet - Please note that Arenanet is a division of NCsoft.

20gig is still alot but worth it imo
