Anyway, this is not what I wanted to say here...
You are wrong in thinking that restrictions were implemented with the idea of pissing huge maps makers off... These restrictions were set to avoid lag in the first place, boring it is to play on a laggy map don't you think? Imagine also newcomers struggling with lag, they not gonna think it's the map that's too big, they gonna think that this game is crap and leave forever!
So to achieve this map size limits was the solution, obviously huge maps have suffered from this but we have explained many many times that with AC the bigger was not the better.
A lot moan about these restrictions because they have a good machine and they don't lag at all but AC is also made for people who can't afford such and only have crappy equipment and it will for sure remain like this since it is the wish of the creators, so if you're looking at making AC look like some other games where you can evolve in an entire city that will simply not happen, we try very hard to do the best with what the engine can handle but it has it's limits.
