That's completely and totally untrue. The game is one giant mega-server with sharding. But there are mods that quickly find you a party for anything you are doing and move you to the correct shard seemlessly(no loading) to put you with full raids of people taking down world objectives. The worlds are heavily populated and you see people all over, but they tried to keep each shard limited to a certain number of players to reduce server stress. It's the model that a lot of games have moved towards and it works great.
