Does anyone have any info on how long different instances take to do?
times not guides, not help, times only. Before numpties post links to dungeon guides.
I only ask as I was going to do Sunken Temple last night, before I was told it can take anything from 2 - 6 hours. At 8.30 on a school night, that possibly takes me till 2.30am before completion.

Firstly, I don't really know.
Though, I do feel your pain as I have often went into an instance at say 8pm and ended up in it for hours. Then feeling sad and guilty I've wasted my night away on a game.

ST is 2 hours with no wipes.
Quite frankly, If I were in such a crap group that it takes 6 hours I'd quit after about 30 mins at most anyway.
Most of them are roughly 2 hours in fact, unless you're doing a 5 man on things such as strat, scholo and BRS.

The earlier instances always took longer, as people were still learning etc. Well, I spent more time in Gnomeregan than any other, which is probably why people hate it.
ST - full clear, including lower area...oo, 2/3 hours? Depends on the group. Shouldn't be too many numpties (actually, yes there are)...go with guild.
Strat raids take about 1/1 and a 1/2 hours. 5 man take waaaay longer. Same with pretty much all of the end game ones, except the 40/20 man three.

Cheers for the info. Nice to know they (on average) take 2 hours to complete.
To be honest, if it took 4-6 hours an instance to get the juicy loot, I'd quit playing. I simply don't have that amount of time to invest.

Yeah, that's why MC etc is so boring when you first start it.
I.e it takes about an hour to move half a metre to the first boss, then everyone stands around talking.
YAY.

Heh, I've sat round my Mum's house while Kim has ran MC - I remember one time everyone was stood inside the entrance for over an hour before pulling - then they wiped straight away :D
Hopefully when I come along, you guys will know your stuff enough to progress through it a little quicker. Tried to get Attuned last night, then the big pansy server kicked half the population out and wouldn't let them back in. Oh yay.

The last time I was in (a while ago now), we got to Gehennas, and stood around for 30 minutes, discussing stuff on teamspeak (which half of us didn't even have). Then we wiped anyway, despite all the 'tactics talk!!!'

I know exactly how you feel and it really pishes me off. I've got upto and killed Gehennas and for every boss so far we must spend at least half an hour stood there repeating tactics before we have even had one go at the boss.
You'd learn alot more and have a lot more fun if you had a few attempts first rather than listening to some swedish guy drone on about tactics in their monotone voice.

Reminds me of our Zul'Gurrub raids.
I hated our raid leader, and before every boss, everyone the ones we had downed 4 times already, we'd stand there for 20 minutes while she used that irritating raid mod to spam the middle of our screens with primary school instructions for the encounter.
Most of the time I just felt like butting in and saying: 'tank pulls, DPS over by this wall, fires come at 50%, keep moving to avoid the fires and use interupts when she tries to heal'.
Stupid guild, I left the day after becoming one of the five leaders.
