Vanguard is going to have very few invisible walls if any, according sigil will only use them to avoid exploits or pointless deaths(such as falling to a place that you can’t reach normally) otherwise you will be free to go to whatever place you want.

Exactly.  The devs are going by the philosophy of, "if you can see it, you can probably (99%+ chance) go to it"

You will probably have a hard time finding invisible walls.  And you will be free to jump to your death in a variety of fashions.  :D  (just not if the landing is somehow in a place you can't possible reach thus making it impossible to recover the gear off your crushed and broken former body)  ;)

AS far as I know, there will be very few instances and invisible walls. It will be an open environment like WoW.

Open environments, yes.

If you can see it, you can most like go to it.

Note:  It also seems I remember vaguely that "climbing" may be included in the game at some point.  I cannot link that, but I seem that one Dev did remark that that may be added.

Flying mounts (at high level) will also be a boon to traveling.

Climbing is a type of mobility that will not be in at launch, but is something they consider likely to be added at some point.  They did not yet say if it would be in shortly after launch or included as part of an expansion etc.

Very open world from what I have been told, full of zone lines everywhere that are totally invisible and in some locations the edge of the zone looks like a jagged line so that you can zone numerous times while moving forward 100 yards.

Might want to recheck your source because the info you were given doesn't make remote sense.  The world is a seamless grid of 2km by 2km by 2km cubes.  There is no zoning.  The technology has already been accomplished well in L2.  The only difference being that VG has the option to stack the "cubes" vertically as well. 

Call it a hunch but I doubt your "source" knew that. ;)
