Red = explorable zone
Blue = city
I count 26 explorable zones from what I can see, possibly a few more in the Maguuma area, maybe 3 more?

I wonder how far we will be able to go into Maguuma Wastes
Heh, nice and it takes me closer to winning a bet I made with friends ;>.
My bet is: world size of GW2 at launch > WoW (classic+tbc+wrath)
Dude#1: world size of GW2 at launch > WoW (classic+tbc+wrath+cataclysm)
Dude#2: world size of GW2 at launch > WoW (classic)
From many maps floating around (for example http://agnesbehrendt.pl/gw2/map.html ) AND addition of many explorable/hidden areas in GW2, it seems I'm winning . Will wait till release for final verdict ;]. Two crates of beer are at stake! This is serious business :P.
Looks like they cut out a shitload of the map from GW1...
This... will keep me busy for a long, long time I think.
Wait this means only about 5% of the whole map can be accessed now?
This leaves a shitload of zones for future content, or am I just thinking in WoW-standards?

There is no flying mount so mountains could pretty much be a big "zone-splitter" making a lot of space get wasted (maybe being used in patches later? Via some kind of tunnel that has been made or something, idk).
Also the zones is indeed bigger than his markings They are just there to show us approximately where everything is
The zones will be similar to GW1 zones, as in, there will be portals between them. They're quite big so it shouldn't be a problem.
This means that we will not be able to explore the entire world map, like in GW1. Unlike gw1, everyone will be together in the same instance of the zone.
It seems they left out the desert, RoF, Almost the entire maguuma, and parts of the southern shiverpeaks.
We got Orr to compensate.
Monk, I need a monk!!!
... What above said
Just to clarify if someone read wrong as I did, the zones are bigger than GW1's and GW2 don't contain even close to the absurb amount of portals as GW1
Cantha, Elona, and the Battle Isles are just flat missing, though. (Battle Isles doesn't really count, I guess, but they could do something with it if they really wanted to.) Even with just the continent of Tyria, compare GW map, GW2 map.
That said, Steamspur Mountains? Ancient Dwarflands? I remember those as the Southern Shiverpeaks. Charr Homelands is now Blood Legion Homelands? And Orr got bigger. Oh my.
