How big will the world be?

When alpha ended and beta started, the world didn't change size. What I mean by that is we didn't have to start all over again and rebuild the streets that had already been built.

So my question is, when the beta-end wipe occurs, how many of the streets that we have now will still be around at launch?  Will we have to rediscover/rebuild parts of the world, or will we start off with all we have now and continue to expand from there?

  • I've also wondered if there will be "galaxial" travel in the sense that we may have worlds outside of Ur.

  • I would like it if it was a complete restart-- people will be able to rebuild the world from scratch again. It'll be like rediscovering the game all over again :)

    I think the game will be building as fast as players, and the devs, can also build it... Things will always be ever changing with this-- things being added constantly!

    I certainly look forward to what the future holds, anyway! :)

  • I can't imagine that they will "shrink" the world away because think of how many players the world will need to accommodate... And it would be disheartening to have to rebuild it all again, too. I bet it will just keep expanding.

  • We'll start from where we are (or will be) and keep going. There's going to be thousands more streets - the world is going to have to be enormous :D

  • I love the notion of interplanetary Glitch!

  • The worlds will disintegrate too. Projects will include saving, upgrading and building streets eventually.

  • I'm sure the world won't shrink--right now we are helping to build it up to the point where it is big enough to accommodate the enormous number of players that will rush to it as soon as the game is open for everyone. Imagine what would happen if thousands (tens of thousands, more?) new players signed in on day one only to find a couple of streets in existence... ouch.

  • Anilover1, I hadn't heard that before. Where did it come from?

  • We won't be removing regions of the world that have already been unlocked.  You worked for them, and they're yours!  Being able to support more players is a consideration as well.  There are a lot more Glitches now than there were during alpha.  And, y'all need room to move.

    Galaxial/interplanetary travel … dunno.  Maybe?

  • "Galaxial/interplanetary travel … dunno.  Maybe?"

    At least it's not a No! :D

  • Well there is a UFO hovering over the desert - maybe we will be allowed to jump onboard one day!

  • Well, I did make the suggestion (in Ideas) that we be able to jump or climb up into the clouds, and even have cloud houses. Hey, how about a rainbow slide to bring us back down?

  • @jdawg: shouldn't "interplanetary" be "intermotal"?  Or has the "motes of dust" back-story been scrapped?

  • Also, will there be another Gwyndolyn quest? I certainly hope so! It would be so interesting, and awesome. How about a Gwyndolyn series of quests?

  • @Zany Serendipity Love that idea! As long as they find a way to build gardens up there I'd buy one... 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' would make a great new housing estate!

  • The end of the current tower quest actually names the next one.  It would be a spoiler to paste the full text here, so I won't, but it starts by saying "As for me, I will return one day," so another quest should be coming up at some point.  Also, the floors we currently have access to are "Tower Base," so we haven't unlocked higher floors yet.
