Lies! We all know the world sits on a giant turtle. And turtles are known to be not very fast, so it will takes hours for him/her/it to move. You could have told us the truth, loftar, instead of this network fairy tales...

Oceans should be bigger in w12. 2 minimaps of deep water between continents is just funny.

Just as a report, the copy is going now. Current ETA is 3 hours 24 minutes, but that will probably change as it progresses.

Also as a note on W12, this operation is actually particularly safe. I mean, it's not like copying the data over destroys it, so in the absolutely worst case, we'll just continue running on the same server.

I think before making oceans larger some issues shall be looked up, and mostly - about the current credo system.
Credos like Nomad and Herder were developed for a single-continent world and now include getting on a different continent. I'd like to see how you move your domestic cow across the sea with current mechanics.

Maybe we also need first couple new credos: Sailor and Captain.
Sailor might allow you to repair a boat or knarr while being a passenger of it, could reduce it's "weight" while jumping through vortexes and reduce damage in deep ocean. It can also add speed of single-crewed ships like dugouts, rafts, coracles, and maybe even rowboats.

Captain could be all about driving Knarrs. Giving them speed, resilence, maybe couple other useful perks.

As far as I understand, the current world is more of a "test" of how oceans will work.
Besides, there probably should be added more content about the deep ocean itself before making it just larger? :roll:

Sail there, build a HS, sail back, pick up the cow, HS there, wait for a friend to pick you up for a return journey.
