Here's a start....

To design this, the better question to ask is what is required to uniquely
location a point in a virtual world? The information can always be encoded
with more user-friendly names/references as required.

Name of World
Server
Instance
Region
x-coordinate
y-coordinate
z-coordinate

IMHO I think that would cover it all - but I am not intimately familiar with
the inner workings of all virtual worlds.
