Think Neverwinter Online or Defiance. There's a large, fluid, opened world that everyone gets to see with instances separating the world like layers. You and a few hundred other people will be on the same 'layer' and you can jump between them to meet up with group members if you aren't already in the same instance of the open world. Then you have instanced dungeons, these are your more 'private play' kind of areas. For that just think of every MMO that has ever had dungeons and raids.
