Now, I just read the New "Q&A With Ken" and it made me realise something i'm very very happy about. I read the section about battles and sieges in the Abyss and it mentions,

"It is, however, not necessary to participate in PvP. One can go from level 1 to 50 without participating in a single PvP-battle. It will take a little bit longer, though, as the most rewarding hunting grounds often are those found in the Abyss."

That leads me to believe that the abyss is more like a "3rd Nation In between" in which its not like an instanced battle grounds like wow, but a land which you can roam freely and anywhere much like the entire game, however PVP in enabled there as well, and battles and sieges and stuff happening all around.

Am I correct in this thinking?
