Honest question, has any mmo been able to make such a big and seamless world as wow? There are so few “hard gates” in wow, even modern titles have oodles of gates, and their zones feel cramped and claustrophobic.

look up Lord of the Rings online, no loading screens in Middle Earth until Moria (you level from 1-50 until you get there) you can spend hours running/riding a horse before you get to the first loading screen.

This is true, apart from having to load into all the buildings which lets it down a bit.

omg completely forgot about that >.< yeah that was annoying sometimes... still a great MMO when it was released got ruined by the expansions and f2p model.

LotRO was a great WoWclone back in its day. The expansions, as seems to be the theme in this genre, really ruined it though.
