Size of the world.

Post by novaalpha »

Question to admin...

Why is W4 about 5 times smaller than W3, while it has about 3 times more people in it?

They always start off small but as the world progresses the devs will expand the world and leave it to us to figure out when and by how much.

EDIT: forgot the answer:
This world was hastily thrown together before its time.
We are playtesters in an alpha.
I assume the devs want to try how the game mechanics work in a more crowded environment, and purposefully keeps this world alot more pop dense than W3.
I like it this way, and hope they do not expand.

The smaller world has been suggested by almost all of the more experienced players, not some whiny kiddies. The last world seriously lacked any player interaction (especially more drama :twisted: ). Now we will see way more fights over quality nodes, which is how it should be. Too bad metal is so common every hermit can mine enough to build a brickwall and equip him and his 5 alts with B12s. Otherwise people would fight over those too. At least you can mine your way to other peoples metal deposits, which will hold some action I guess.

Thanks, now I will be having nightmares. The thought alone, 1k players in one supergrid... 900 of them noobs and 10 of them Russians who kill everyone on sight.

Sounds like a personal attack if you ask me. :lol:

Smaller world -> more interaction with other players -> more fun, more drama, more kills :lol:
