considering you have loading screens for each zones with its own art, i'd say no. But we can't fly yet, so we don't know if we could fly over and simply get a loading screen at the border of each map

oh ok, that sounds realistic, thank you - i'm not totally against it, but i kind of love this immersive feeling, one gets, through connected zones.
I would love to see these transition (coming with patches tho (if this is the concept)) or even with 9.0 (if this is possible)

They all have the same map id, so they're technically all the same zone... you might not be able to travel between them directly, though. Like Quel'thalas and Azuremyth being part of Outland map-wise.
Each zone is its own realm, so of course not.

it kinda makes sense....I mean Hell wouldn't be much of a hell if you could just walk over the border...
I suspect that they chose to have all zones separate to reduce the workload of level artists. It's much easier to have different people work on separate zones with no need for them to coordinate at the transition areas between them.

As far as I can tell, each zone has an Oribos gate that connects the zones, or at least Oribos, to eachother through, probably, a loading screen. That being said, the zones themselves are rather large, and I believe each have subzones to still kind of get that different area vibes.
Hopefully this lowers loading screen time. I'm pretty annoyed on each trip to the chamber of heart, because you have to travel through 2 portals, meaning two loading screens, just to be 2 minutes inside the chamber.
But else this could be positive. About 25% the Map of BfA are just mountains between zones, which just increase flying times. Having instant travel via Portal eliminates those downtimes.
No portals, no flying, it's a one big ocean with islands. Gotta swim! But worry not, SL Pathfinder Rank I will grant you 20% swimming speed!
Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

Bad news, big time.
They tried this shit in cata and it didn't work.
Maybe we'll get to equip our mounts with goblin rocket boosters and when you approach the edge of the zone, they'll kick us into ludicrous speed to get to the next one.
