How large is the map?

[Chii Heartbeat]

I'm really curious.

Hello,

Two default ones are 2048X2048, but modders are already working on maps of any size. :)

Thank you. :)

Though 2048x2048 tiles, with each tile being 4x4m which gives area of 8192x8192 meters is plenty for single players or even a small group of friends to be fair.

The thing I am more interested in is if the default map provided has some interesting and/or challenging terrain.

I'm more interested in the map dimension limits. It's not too hard to hack up a bunch of 4096x4096 heightmaps in World Machine 2 and then combine 'em in Photoshop.

I think it's max like 16384x16384.

Max is 32768 supposedly (maps have to be by power of 2, with smallest being 1024), but its not really possible due to the memory requirements are beyond what a machine could physically have. 16384 is more the real max as its possible, although would probably require 128+ GB of memory and top end dual Xeon's to have it running with a resonable amount of monsters.

Note 16384 is 65km x 65km so its a bit on the absurd size.

If you don't know much about Wurm in general, after hundreds of players coming and going, many islands in Wurm Online have lots of untouched land. Xanadu, the largest island in the MMO so far is 8192x8192, with a few hundred active players since its genesis in June 3rd, 2014 has a ridiculous amount of land still untouched.
