Guild Wars 2 World To Be "Much Larger"


Guild Wars 2 designers John Stumme and Ben Miller have been fielding a few questions from players about in-game activities and travel, during which Miller revealed that the world map will be "much larger" than before.

"We haven't sat down and calculated the literal land mass for Guild Wars 2 yet" Miller said, "but on average the maps are larger than Guild Wars maps, so the game world you experience is much larger."

That means more space for activities like norn-ball. "We've got an activity in Hoelbrak that's basically a norn interpretation of basketball" said Stumme, "So you've got passing, shooting, etc. The only difference is that the ball in this case is a heavy keg of ale."
