I noticed this getting added to my PWCN client.

You know what's cooler than a million NW lands? A billion NW lands.

EDIT: This might be intended for cross-server NW.
EDIT2:
OK so from what I can tell:

http://w2i.wanmei.com/news/bulletin/20130407/69678.shtml

1) This map is indeed for inter server NW
2) Increased map size from 132 to 292
3) Increased capacity of capture the flag battlefied to 30v30
- the other 2 battlefield types are 20v20 and 40v40
4) Weaker servers will get and attack / defense buff so they can compete with the stronger servers

PWCN breaks up all their servers into groups of 4 so a whole server will be assigned to 1 nation.

That actually could work pretty well over here.

After the EU servers will get merged there will be 4 west coast servers, 3 east coast servers and 1 EU server.

The west coast servers (Sanc + HT + LC + Archo) can be one league (obviously archo needs that def/att buff here) and the other league will be east coast + EU (Dreamweaver, RT, HL, Morai).

I'm not sure if the lack of shared name database will be an issue or not since you can't see names in NW.

    .... We better not get that. Current map size does exactly what it needs to do and if it gets any bigger we won't have the population to handle it.

    Our servers are roughly the same population as theirs from what I see.. they just have dozens of servers.

    It is possible that this is the map intended to be used with cross-server NW but I haven't been checking the pwcn news in a while.

    This type of thing you can't hide with a simple NPC swap / different boutique so my opinion is that we'll get it.

    Serves people right, they purposely make a larger map to combat baselocking so that everyone gets a chance to actually play. Then of course we still do our best to baselock--Therfore we will probably get the even bigger map.

    Our map barely gets enough people as it is, and the numbers are decreasing with each nw.. I'm guessing the low levels just don't wanna get roflpwned anymore and decided they can make more money doing random TTs or something.

    omg... unless we have cross-server competition please don't bring this map here... We were ok with the original map. With the new one you find less people in each territory, and it's hard to find a worthy party to fight. Now, if they bring this map, it will make nw very boring.

    LOL. xD

    Imagine there's around 800-1000 people doing nw, around 3200-4000 people on a map.

    At 800-1000 there's already DC problem I don't want to imagine at 3200-4000, they should fix the actual issues before improve and update.

    800 people base lock must be fun to see. xD
