I didn't get the impression or feeling that the world was small during the CTB, even though we were restricted to a small portion of the overall map.
I had been in the first major town for a good portion of my time and I would routinely run into ~40-50 characters near the Warehouse, during peek hours. I did have a noticeable drop in FPS but still playable.
I do worry about larger scale PvP and many of the videos I have seen makes me think it's a complete mess without being able to follow anything that is going on but this could be my naivete of end-game activities.
Zones are pretty small, but I haven't seen any cap for simultaneous players in a zone so far. I've heard large scale battles tend to lag a bit, and not sure if that can be helped with adding hardware at the developer's side.
Client-wise, AO is so light any modern computer can handle bigger crowds with not much trouble.
