One of the most important components of any MMORPG is the game world, where gamers often spend hundreds or even thousands of hours. Here we present the games with the largest worlds.
What criteria were used to create this list? This list shows you the MMORPGs with the largest game worlds. The list is not strictly based on square meters, but on the time that can be spent in the MMORPGs until every piece of land or space has been seen.
Because many developers do not disclose exact numbers for their MMORPGs, our research has also incorporated calculations from various other sources and the community.
World of Warcraft
How large is the game world of World of Warcraft? As the genre leader, WoW has been supplied with updates and expansions for over 20 years, making it one of the MMORPGs with the largest game world. According to a YouTube video from the Mr.Ranker channel, the game world with the expansions was about 207 km² in size as of September 2020.
Since then, however, the expansions Shadowlands, Dragonflight, and The War Within have been released, all of which have further expanded World of Warcraft. Until you have truly seen everything in World of Warcraft, you will be well occupied. In Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms, Pandaria, Northrend, and the Dragon Isles alone, you can probably go on entire exploration vacations and find one or another Easter egg.
In addition to the many interesting places in the world of World of Warcraft, exploring the game world also reveals locations that are rather quirky. MeinMMO demon Cortyn has selected for you the 5 most peculiar places in World of Warcraft.
