I was wondering is WAR opened world like WoW.
I was really disappointed with AOC with all the Instancing, I don't mind Instancing in certain cases but AOC was too much for me. I'm looking for a New mmorpg with good pvp and a reason to pvp and good social fun in the game.
Thanks.

Yea, WAR is very much an open world to travel through. You won't have to worry about what you had to deal with in AoC because that was quite excessive. Each zone is decent in size, not to big to have to travel through on foot but also not small by any means.

has a open world but the pvp is in instances (scenarios) and hidden from the open world in the rvr zones
if you roll on open rvr then pvp is everywhere. and a lot ofthe time i really do mean everywhere. a bit like how i imagined AoC to be but this time it actually is! pvp is meaningful, if you pic the underdog (order) you pretty much have to fight to get what you want, none of this 'oh we have it..fun...' if you are in the EU roll on dragonback mountains and look us up (Ragu, Sally, Toastoncheese, Fuginbong)
it is definitely more rewarding by level 5 than conan showed in the 47 levels i ground out. hell pvping from lvl one is just o.O amazing!
Sorry but this is misleading.
PvP is NOT hidden from the world. Yes there are RvR pvp areas within zones, but they are maked on the map, non-instanced and completely open so you can step in step out.
The "zones" are pretty damn big, they cover 2 maps per tier ( i think ) with no hard zone between the 2. You will often cross paths with enemy players, simply hyave yourself flagged for pvp all the time and have fun.
