WoW servers on average have 50k population.

WoW servers are hard limited to 5k at any one time. You obviously don't remember the hour long queues shortly after launch.

On the open world, all on one server thing, Eve Online called and would like to say hello. Also, see Big World technology.

Wrong. You're talking about launch when they hard capped servers to maximum pop because of server load. FWIW I remember being #14XXX in line for Archimonde queue.

Maximum capacity for a WoW server is 40k active connections.

You are going to have to provide a link for that. 40k active connections is serious tech.

If a single server can support 40k connections, there is no reason to ever implement instancing. As I said though, link please. I honestly doubt that is true - but happy to be wrong!
