Q. How large is the world?

We don't know the final size of the playable world, only the size of the starting continent.

The starting continent is approximate 256km x 128km.

It is estimated that it will take 48-hours of non-stop walking (at 1.5m/s) to walk one edge to the other, if the world is flat with no obstructions. Add in the mechanics required for resting, changes in the terrain (forests, rivers, mountains), etc., and this estimate will increase. (Borrowed from the Wiki)

in the 30th of september Q&A they mentioned the alpha map being 4x4km they said it's a little smaller than the smallest county would be and that it would be around an hour on foot and 20 minutes on horse back, if exploring is your thing tell yourself that the size of skyrim is around 2 to 3 counties with 15 to 20 county per duchy and 5-8 duchy per kingdom and 5 kingdom per server you will have plenty to explore for the 10 years the game will be running

wow, I didn't realise it was so big. Every day that passes by an I find new info the more I feel like I don't wanna be stuck being a mayor. The thought of exploring the entire world appeals to my adventurous nature too much.

Nothing will stop you from exploring even as a mayor! Make some really good friends, delegate your powers.

yeah, you have a month to explore before coming back to make sure that your land isn't taken from you, but at the same time you are being a terrible mayor :P

It will be quite large. I would suggest you take a look at the YouTube video on the subject by Morbis MIA.

You can also take a look at a few of the screenshots showing the mountains to get a scale of how grand the map is going to be.

not per server, per starting continent on a server will there be the 5 kingdom limitation

once the required research level is reached and people cross the oceans. there will be more continents and more kingdoms and we don't know how big or small those will be.

Someone made a map of Elyria over a map of New York or something. It also had a comparison to Skyrim, and Witcher. GOod luck finding it though.

yeah the problem with any map search with the term "Elyria" is the actual town in Ohio,USA by that name

but if you are looking for that thread of Elyria vs New York then:

This is what I don't understand, what does it mean starting continent? is there more than one continent on server? and does "starting" mean we all begin on the same one and the other continents have nobody on them?

SoulSpark the ressources like ore are not endless. That's why after a long time we can discover a new continent. Long time? I think some RL years.

Another possibility could be a new continent for new players if CoE is a huge sucess and there much more players as one continent could handle. But i believe Caspian already mention they would just add another server instead of a new continent. I still hope for the new continent. ;)
