Map!

Hell yeah, we got a map
Looks like it shows where the 4 portals are (the circles) and the diamonds probably representing where the 2 sub-races each came from.
Looks like Dwarves came from North-West, Orcs from North-East, Elves South-East and Humans South-West

Oh well. I was so hoping that it was just the land. Then the water would have been a bonus.
Fine, burst my bubble.

If you couldn't travel any further than say 1km away from land by ship, (leviathan, etc,) then the playable area may be bigger than we think. The extra grids of water would just be for maps' sake.

Of course the big argument now is if the whole 34x24 is 480 square kilometres or just the land mass is 480 square kilometres. If just the land area, the per square area goes up.
I am hoping the land area. Then the world just got bigger!

There was another post on land mass as well, but I'll post it here too. This is only my speculation btw.
The BR map was about 6.25 km² and it is equal to 4.5 squares. That means each square is 1.39km². There are about 340-380 squares of land mass on the map. At 345 squares the total would be around 480km². This would mean water is not part of that total.

This is assuming both maps and squares are on the same scale, which isn't a given.

Steven said that the BR map was equal to 4.5 squares on the mmo map. Sorry, I should have worded it different, edited it. thanks.

Well the map look like it has be really quickly done and I'm guessing that the square where us to respect a general scale.

Because from the numbers we have you'll got numbers with 10 decimals while making the math.

So I'll say that we shouldn't us the squares to speculate

References 8;9 - water is part of the 480km sq total.

That was about a year ago he said that. I'm just going off his most recent statement. Also, that could just mean any water on the land is included, but not necessarily the ocean.

@nibiru97 Agreed there's room for interpretation as to whether it means water inside land or all water. I lean toward it meaning all water, thinking that they've had the world map since close to the beginning and the world/map size would not be likely to change drastically during development.

nibiru97

Yeah, if it's all water then his BR map equals 4.5 squares on the mmo map doesn't add up. I'll just assume the comment was a mistake.
