Bigger bigger bigger!!!!!!!!!!! If the map is larger we would have so much more fun adventuring!!! Oh, I can't wait for 3.0!!!!

SUPAH BEEG!

You could explore so many more places and it would make much more room for realms!

I like the "Bigger the Better".
But if it going to make the server lag, definitely make it smaller.

Amount of Lag > Size of the Map

I remember the last survival map was 12kx12k without a single lag problem. Of course, the realm system throws us on quite the loop, but if that can be fixed, I'm all for the giant map.

The map will most very likely be 5,000 x 5,000 x 128 blocks.

3,200,000,000 blocks of space!

Edit: And this time, we'll expand it if needed.

if there is no memory leak, than it should be able to be at least its current size. also, the world map online, why does it not work? it used to show the realm overlays and work. so size isn't the problem here.
I think 6k*6k or 8k*8k would be good, definitely no smaller than 4k*4k
on the other hand, the bigger the map, the longer it takes to traverse, so it may be best to keep it 4k or 6k, you know, for subways, and walking and such.
but I definitely would say that 6k is better than 4k, and it is probably best at 6k, that way the map doesn't fill up, but we never have problems with everyone living too far apart to interact. if we had infinite computing resources, I might say 8k was better.

that sounds good, so if people start complaining about being squashed, we expand to 8k, if we get a few thousand more people, we expand to 12k or so.
