| '''Dungeons''' are where quests take place, [[:Category:Bosses|bosses]] reside, and high level gear is obtained from. Dungeons are generally harder than most other content in the game and provide some of the best rewards.
| | ''Dungeon''' is a common name for caves, castles, abandoned ruins, and otherworldly realms accessible across [[Alharth]] and beyond. While many [[Dungeons]] have a long-forgotten history, others are homes of sentient Monstrous Races, recently abandoned Council structures, or natural caverns. Adventurers should usually prepare for hostiles, although occasionally paradise and friends can be found. Caves overflowing with Undead, Wolf Dens, and unusually smart insect dwellings are common sights across the continent. |

| ===No Instancing===
| |
| As of the alpha dungeons '''are not instanced''' which really sets apart this game from current "modern" MMOs. Whether you are soloing or teaming up with fellow players, the experience is of one shared world which creates stronger social interactions between players.
| |
| | |
| ===Looting===
| |
| Loot on all enemies (except Elites) is also not instanced, meaning once somebody loots a corpse the loot is gone. This can cause a little grief sometimes but keep in mind the loot is plentiful and enemies respawn ''very quickly''!
| |
| | |
| Consider '''not burying''' corpses in dungeons. In theory leaving corpses behind should make them respawn a little slower, which can help when soloing. In a group, please remember that burying a corpse gets rid of the loot. If you don't want loot on a corpse, leave it so another player may loot it.
| |
| | |
| ===Trains===
| |
| Veteran MMO players will remember the infamous trains from classic MMO EverQuest. A "train" happens when a player flees danger in a dungeon, and the enemies chasing the player come in sight of other unsuspecting players who are then attacked. This problem is fairly minimal at present in Project: Gorgon because the enemies don't pursue very far, but be aware that the mechanics allow for it. Don't be angry at other players! It is simply the mechanics of the game, and it could be argued it makes things a little more... interesting. As there is no experience penalty and also no loss of levels in the game (so far), a train will at worst cause your character to respawn in the entrance of the dungeon.

Dungeon' is a common name for caves, castles, abandoned ruins, and otherworldly realms accessible across Alharth and beyond. While many Dungeons have a long-forgotten history, others are homes of sentient Monstrous Races, recently abandoned Council structures, or natural caverns. Adventurers should usually prepare for hostiles, although occasionally paradise and friends can be found. Caves overflowing with Undead, Wolf Dens, and unusually smart insect dwellings are common sights across the continent.
Only experienced adventurers should seek out Dungeons, prepared for the Bosses, traps, and deadly puzzles within. Loot and lost abilities can be discovered in dungeons, some dangerous enough that a party of adventurers should brave the mysteries together.

No Instancing
Dungeons in Project: Gorgon are not instanced, and players who enter a dungeon are placed on the same map as all others. In this shared world, loot is usually given to the adventurer who first damages a creature, although Elite Monsters, Bosses, and World Bosses are an exception. If a player opens the loot window for a corpse and closes it without claiming anything, the loot becomes available to everyone else in the area.
