Not sure. I only played Alteria once for a few hours. It seems pretty big.

Keep in mind that Namalsk has a lot of water and ice areas with nothing to explore that’s also counted in the map size.

There is no official nor unofficial post about either of them being bigger. I want to know if Alteria is small enough to have more player interactions like Namalsk. I would also appreciate if you can suggest me more maps that has the same traits (not dead btw).

Alteria is tiny af map... Its most likely smaller than Namalsk

Are you sure about it? If yes im gonna play on an Alteria server to see how it goes thanks for the help.

I'd say landmass wise Alteria is bigger than Namalsk. Namalsk has this "huge" ice sheet area, mostly barren white nothingness, apart from the two POIs and the route to them.

Yeah, that's inaccurate, Alteria is pretty much twice as large as Namalsk. People just see the square km numbers but don't realize this includes water, and also the ice sheets in Namalsk's case as well. But no one is playing on the ice sheets apart from bee-lining it to the outpost, sub or oil rig and back to the land where 95% of people are playing. Just give it a try and see, or a simple look at a map site will show you. Alteria is 8x8 pretty much all land. Namalsk's land mass fits inside a 7x7 and even then about 1/3 of that is water or ice. Alteria's airfield alone is like half the size of Tara island.

Also, even though it's not a negative for Namalsk specifically, since it's part of the lore and works for that map, Alteria has a lot more structures, towns and locations to explore (this is John McLane / Deer Isle creator after all), so there is a lot more stuff packed in that 8x8 land mass as well.

Thanks a bunch dude. Yeah i've also asked some discord server admins about this stuff and they said Alteria is something between Namalsk and Liovnia (Although a bit smaller than Livonia) so yeah that might be my go to map from now on.
