My own preferance lies with game worlds that develop rather than grow. The
world within my mud is of a set size (currently an island in the middle of
an ocean, but I plan to add more land in the near future), and is nothing
more than wilderness - plains, rivers, mountains, swamps, etc. If I wish to
add an "area", I can place it anywhere within the already existing world. If
I later decide to expand that area, I can extend it however I see fit. In
this way, I always know *exactly* how big my mud world is.
KaVir.
