Yeah, because hitting autorun and taking half an hour to get anywhere is "fun". :P

I'm also going to give you some bad news, it will be quite rare (to non-existent) for a modern top shelf mmo to have open zones again with no loading. There are many reasons for that, but it mostly comes down to cost, performance, and development time. Not to mention, having zones broken up allows easier expansion of new zones.
