I noticed on the main site there are 2 very different maps poted does this mean there are 2 seperate worlds to Illarion or are one of these maps something to be made in the future.

Ok now my next question would be how does one get from Gobiath to Illarion

not possible.
only in rp...
some DEV once made a relation on the size of illarion.
it was around like:
if ya need 1 hour to walk in one direction on gobiath ignoring the underground, you would need 5 years to do the same on the mainland

EDIT:I already answered...but was logged in on my bro as we share our laptop right now...sry ^^

That's a shame wouldn't mind a world that size think of all the RP possibilities available plus with the gate system might help with travel Iteneraries.

well...place the players we have right now on a map that size
maybe you can meet someone every 2 weeks?

See that little patch of land near the E of OCEAN on the map of Illarion? Well, that's Gobaith.

Play Daggerfall then Morrowind and then say which is better.

Bigger = WORSE

Players barely manage to fill the current towns; towns go inactive a lot. So you want something thousands of times bigger?

Also, a LOT of Gobaith is just grass or trees with no interesting features and no reason to ever go to these areas, and due to the graphical restrictions every house looks the same and has the same furnishing. It'd be the most boring game ever because you'd never meet anyone, the whole map would be bland and there'd be nothing to do.

heh..yeeaaahhh, i think it was either Nitram or some other GM, whos name eludes me, that said when they have an active playerbase of one million they will open the mainland

I think 999,999 might be a bit tightly packed. There's not even that many land tiles on Gobaith.
