What is the most ideal world size?
I usually try out all the worlds but I haven't really decided the best size to use. Would a medium world be the most ideal world size?

I use medium normally but large is the funnest, small is jst ew boring

I completely agree. One of the main reasons I asked was because I was playing on a small world recently. There were barely any special items to find. It truly did feel completely boring. Anyways, I'm trying out large right now. Thanks for the replies. Large definitely sounds the best considering all of the items that will be there. :)

Small world are for building and easier access to ores (they're more condensed in small worlds).

Large worlds are for exploration, more items and more variebility in items.

Medium worlds if you don't want either of the other two. They contain a balance of features from both small and large worlds. Apparently the chances for some rare world-generated items like the Sandstorm-In-A-bottle are highest in medium-sized worlds.

ONE THING TO NOTE: Memory requirements from your PC and video card tend to get higher the larger your world is. So if you have a bad PC or video card then you'll have more problems with large worlds than you will with small worlds.

I have a good PC I can assure you. Anyways I'm sticking with Large. It seems to have the most stuff in it. Even if the ores are not condensed, it doesn't mean that I won't reach them one day.

Why are you asking us, then, if you've already made up your mind?

I just wanted a couple of answers before creating a large world.

So you're basically just fishing for approval and the chance to tell off those you disagree with? OK then. Have fun.

God, will there ever be a forum that won't have at least ONE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on it? It'll be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ utopia when that day comes.

Medium and large world ores are jsut as condensed and there are simply more of them making those worlds ideal for farming ore.

All worlds, regardless of size, are generated with the same quantity of ores. You find them more easily in small worlds. In that sense, then, you could pick a small world if you were a beginner or a large world if you wanted more of a challenge.

No you are just a narrow minded prick.

Huh? Narrow-minded? Are you sure you know what you're talking about? You're clearly disgruntled by what I said earlier but can't seem to say why.

I haven't said anything altogether "bad" about any one of the three world sizes. There are benefits and drawbacks to each one, and just because you prefer one particular size, that is no reason to dismiss the other two. Which is exactly what both you and the OP are doing. So I am not the one being narrow-minded here.

BTW, you should be aware that before you posted your response the OP could have deleted their own thread all by themselves. Now they can't (no more than 7 posts in a thread). I could be persuaded to delete my posts but after being insulted like this I don't feel I want to right now.

I always play in large worlds. Small worlds feel very unsatisfying to me because I like the sense of exploration that you get from large worlds. Honestly, I wish the worlds could be even bigger.

However, If you just like to progress through the game fast and arent really interested in exploring, then small or medium worlds may be better for you. They have the benefit of having more condensed treasures. What I mean by that is that chests and statues are closer together and much easier to find (at least in my experience, don't know for sure if it is fact).

And here I was thinking that a simple question wouldn't cause an argument. Get a grip, Endymion. Not everyone thinks like you do.

Zkrieg called narrow minded to Endymion, Traumatic one. just to clear the confusion.

U mad? Reported for profanity.

B2T: I only create large worlds, even for the smallest things like a trading center.

I'm well aware that not everyone conveys a one-sided favouritism toward large worlds when they post threads, thank you muchly.
