This is by far the largest online game i have come across. How many miles long u think it is in scale of the players in it.
By the time i fly from the school teacher to the dreamweaver port i have covered the entire online games map from a diffrent game and done my dailies there.
This game must be huge. I wonder how large it is on the scale of the real world's map.
I bet there isn't any other online this large.

    Well first of all, I'd ask how many meters long since things in this game are metric :P

    secondly, there are games with bigger maps. But you're right, this one does have a fairly large map. The only thing is, most people never see all of it. We see all the grinding areas up till our 40s, then start doing bhs. You definitely don't see any of you're 80+ grinding areas because of FC

    Oh, and a fun fact; the map was originally planned to be larger. The original crew that made this game intended for 4 Archosuar sized cities and a larger map overall, but when the development responsibilities changed hands, the map enlargement was tossed out the window.

    I always thought this game world was kinda small, and yes I've seen almost all of the world map, as well as heaven and hell.

    Assuming that thread is correct about 10 meters per coord. unit and multiplying it by the furthest north you can get and using the number you get from the y-axis coordinate (1010 I guess...just went on and clicked some place random up north until I couldn't go any further)...

    The mileage is around 6.3 miles north to south. o_o I think.

    C'mon you smart archers...correct me!! I suck at math. I have no idea what I just said. Q_Q

    this game isnt exactly big its just the fact characters move extremely slow compared to most games.

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    Yeah, considering I believe one P2P game has multiple continents with each close to the size of our entire game.

    Edit: Honestly I think the size/layout of the cities is pretty weak here :(

    If memory doesn't fail me, a certain F2P MMORPG based on J. R. R. Tolkien's books has a map far larger than ours.

    Edit: I never got to explore all of it, so I could be wrong XD
    Madness?

    It is very tiny. From rumors about a certain game coming out, one of it's planets will be as big as the entire map of a popular Blizzard game. So, really, this map is very small.

    It definitely is...the starting map is the same size as this one, but then if you zoom out to the whole continent it's actually 3 times larger than ours.
