The interesting part of the public dungeons is the fact that unlike WOW or RIFT where your dungeon groups are either invite only or you allow the game to form a group for you, public dungeons will allow anyone to wonder in and do the same exact stuff that you are doing. The developers inspiration for this comes from their love of the original Everquest game. One developer says to imagine what it was like in Everquest hiding in a corner waiting for someone to come help you get back out. While they say they can't exactly recreate that experience they will have these public dungeons all over the place. These public dungeons can be done solo however they will be extremely hard if done so. The point of this is simple with in the game world these public dungeons are meant to be a social point for you to meet new people that are trying to do the same stuff as you are. Maybe you will start leveling together, maybe not. The point is that this will add a better social aspect while leveling. Now they will also offer your standard private dungeons and end game raiding for up to six people.
It seems from what info we have gotten so far, it doesn't seem that they are trying to revolutionize the MMO market but rather perfect things from the first and second generations of MMO games out there. I hope they truly can pull this off and this game does well. Although, I think many Elder Scrolls players still will not like the fact that the combat system isn't more like Skyrim.
