    From a player's point of view, I can tell you that I hate large worlds.
    Newbies usually have to ask how to go to a place, and often receive
    vague directions, making them waste a lot of time walking, time that
    could be better employed playing. Yes, I do like large worlds, but
    splitted in smaller regions with an adequate mechanism to easy moving
    from A to B.
