How big is the game world?

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'm thinking i'll drop the 10$ to support this game it seams very interesting indeed. And even if it turns out that after finishing all 3 act's i'm bored at least I can say it was 10$ well spent to support a great game unlike another game I won't mention that I had to spend 60$ on.

Have fun!

The game is not Open World, it's Instance based. The only time you will be able to see other strangers is in town or if they are in you party. If they are in your party you will be taken to the same instance and town. Some instance are small some of them are pretty big.

Act 1 & 2's town is pretty small, but you have got to see Act 3 town it is massive! I don't really know if this answers your question but there you go.

Except you and other people's instances can be invaded in Cut-throat league :P

Those were really nice guides!

Thanks :)

You are very welcome. When I first looked at the passive skill tree when I was a noobie PoE player it looked a little intimidating but after watching the excellent character build video I was able to understand the flexibility of it. Now that I've watched some of Kripparrian's other videos to see how he uses totem's for both offensive and defensive purposes and gain insight into character builds that work at higher difficulty levels I'm going to really enjoy Act III and starting over with my new knowledge.

PoE is a refreshing change from the locked down limited choices way of D3. It is going to take me a very long time to understand all the skills in the passive tree (forest) and how I can use them to build a high level character. But the beauty of PoE is that the options are there for me to explore and experiment with. Sure, there will be some builds that work better than others but I'm not locked into a rigid narrow path (like the runes of D3 only unlocking at specific levels). I'm sure I won't burn through this game in a few months and be bored with it. If we all contribute financially to GGG then the devs. will be producing new acts every 8 to 12 months to keep PoE alive and well for the 10 years (or more) that producer Chris Wilson envisions for it.

The fact that PoE is not produced by a huge game company that must cater to the stockholders and the corporate must make money at all costs mentality means that the the GGG devs. are free to persue their visions of how to create and build a true and worthy successor to D1 and D2. I hope that the OB is wildly successful and we (all dissatisfied D3 players) can stick it in ActiBlizzard's face.

Don't forget the many types of maps later in the game. This game= VALUE!

Oh yeah no kidding I was blown away by the whole map system! I love that you can upgrade the various maps with stats you want. I have gone ahead and dropped the 10$ so I can mess around with beta :) And if it's as fun as it seams I'll probably get the 25$ deal!

not sure, never thought about it. THe game is so ridiculously good i could care less how big it is let me guess 10km2
