In a recent discussion on the official Star Wars: The Old Republic forums, the issue of world size came up. In today's SWTOR column, MMORPG Community Manager Mike Bitton wonders if the size of a game world really matters...or not. Check out Mike's thoughts and then leave a comment or two with your opinion.
In the roughly eight years I've been playing MMO games I've always been an avid explorer, in fact, I met one of my best friends in Star Wars Galaxies (prior to the introduction of mounts and vehicles).We actually bonded in our exploration of the entirety of Naboo on foot. If you've played Galaxies and think that sounds crazy, it is, but we did it anyways. At the same time, I've enjoyed myself in games like Vindictus and Guild Wars where there really isn't much of a world but more of a hub city from which to jump into instanced areas, so it's fair to say I've seen the whole gamut of approaches to MMO world design and I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all solution to every game.
