The world is too big for some 500 something people

What do you think?

probably but it will get a lot smaller once everyone sets up teleporting roads

True but they don't plan to only have 500 something people playing.

[Kaios]

dude if there's 500 people playing on average at any given time, it's not always the same 500 people.

The world is fine as it is for now.

acutally I think the biggest issue is the lack of interconnecting rivers

Thing is, people spread out to their preferred density. If you wanna be a true blue hermit? Walk 4-8 hours. Want the rare neighbour? Walk 2-4.

If you're not seeing people, that's because people don't want to live that close. Which would seem to me that players are setting their own density since everyone started at the same spot.

And also agreed: Once highways get set up and the world is better colonized it will feel a lot denser.

It's better for a world to be too big then be too small. If anything maybe we can have a new "spawn area" after awhile.

I partly agree with this. It is unfortunate that we didn't get this in. We tried, but there wasn't enough time.

I like the idea of huge world, small spawn area. Everyone can kind of set the level of interconnection they want.

How big is this world compared to previous worlds? I feel like on W5 there were so many more people around me but there were less players. I havent seen another person in about 1 week so far on this world, did everyone literally just settle in start zone? This is why having a start zone sucks.

I'm finding it very boring, I agree with OP.

I am loving the current size.

I walked 3 hours from spawn to make my current base camp, we're the only palisaded hermit camp for an hour in any direction and we have a handful of friendly hermit neighbors. The organic interaction and teamwork is fucking awesome, but I don't want to force it by being surrounded by people.
