    It's highly instanced with zones. The zones are very large and interesting though which is nice.

    Instanced, but it's zones are larger than most  and they are filled with about 100 times more detail than any MMO i've seen.

    Open world = can go anywhere you want.

    Instanced = players are grouped into copies of an area and you can only see the members of your group.

    Zoned = there are loading screens between areas.

    I think the technology that The Secret World is using should be called auto-sharding.

    Because it is Open World game-play seperated in huge zones. And it automatically shards you with a large number of people inside the open world.

    What most people call instances also exists in the secret world, certain missions takes you into an instance on your own or with your team. Most content plays in the open world though.

    • 8 large zones with loading screens
    • 3 cities with loading screens
    • 1 cross-dimension zone (Agartha)
    • Instanced dungeons, raid
    • Small, instanced mission solo areas (sporadic)
    • Grouping across dimensions (aka "servers")

    Accurate description, and you'd really have to stretch the definition of "open world" pretty far  to consider this title as being one.
