There has been many topics on this in the threads. The search engine works now, i think. There is also plenty of info on this in the various Wikis.

Overall, the world is big... I think somewhere around 4x Skyrim (but I forget now).

There are many biomes planned too. And the undeground regions are, so i have heard somewhere I think, almost the size of the above ground area.

That's too small since Skyrim is like 16 sq miles and the devs have said they are aiming for 470+ sq km for the map size, who knows it might be even bigger!

You won't see the entire world map until Beta 1 at the earliest

We will see the world map when the game launches. Even the Alphas and Betas are on a different map (1/4 the size of the full map).

Ask in the livestream

We should all ask so maybe get a sneak peek at it.

Alpha is
Beta will be the full map

1/81 of GW Nightfall
But still 2.25 size of Wow

When did they say that beta will be the full map? There is no mention of that on the Wiki. You would think that they would keep the full MMO map for launch and surprise everyone.

Dygz

Yeah. Keep in mind that the wiki does not have everything.

Q: What % of the map will we have in the alpha and beta
A: For Alpha 1, 25% of the map. Moving forward it depends on the milestones we achieve. Our objective is 50% of the map in Alpha 2 and 100% by Beta. However this is a projection.

It is crazy how big some of the GW1 maps were back in the day. XD

If it's really 2.25 size of WoW, that's exciting...

I would not expect them to deviate from the 25% target for alpha 1. Intrepids desire is to keep as much hidden from us as long as possible and not having full map to explore until Beta will give we industrious players less time to explore and uncover its secrets.

Not really.

Vanilla WoW wasn't that big of a world for an MMORPG. It's big in comparison to its contemporary single player RPG's, but MMO's from the same time were significantly bigger.

To me, that strikes a good balance between a larger world while not so large that you never see any other players...

The reason you don't see players in some other MMO's is not due to world size, it is due to instancing.

Personally I'm ok with the size Verra will have for now.
But I hope there will be some up date later

Also take into consideration the graphics of AoC. ((Probably the most beautiful and detailed graphics of any computer game to date)). This is a concern - I have brought this up to Intrepid before - but did not get a definitive answer. How can you have a large world when the graphics are THAT detailed? Not to mention cram a billion players into one server? "Houston. We have a problem."

You’re only rendering the visible distance at any given moment. If you can see 100 yards then it doesn’t matter if you’re in a room that’s 200 yards wide, or an island 20 miles wide. It’s loading the same thing. Graphics and world size have no relation.
