Because players would approach the end of the world and just disappear, which would be disorienting as you'd see the levels but not the players in them; especially with PKing and such. Also keeping mirrors of the levels would be a pain.

Isn't it as disorienting if they are warping them, though?

Either way, it seems like warping players would just be abuse in pking to dodge projectiles.

A player approaching the end of a level and disappearing is a common occurrence. However, if you replace that black wall with another level, it implies there is more there. You'd see the level the player went in to, but you wouldn't see the player as they'd just "vanish." I'd say that's way more disorienting than a player just touching a wall and disappearing.  

Dusty knows what he is talking about here. There are some ways you can fake a round world by moving the other players around clientside for each player, but the effect probably still wouldn't be seamless, and you would have to specially code a lot of things like projectiles to work with it as well. It's not worth the huge amount of effort it would take to implement it on a server that already has years of scripting done on it. It might be cool to put on a playerworld that was scripted from the ground up with a round world in mind.

I mean that would be pretty simple, but to make tiles actually appear so it doesn't look like there is an end to the map would be hard, probably impossible. Making it just a warp actually looks pretty nice. I tested it out and I like it.

Then make it happen!!!!!! I would LOVE this!  

Well most of the staff are from era lolzies.  

this thread is full of lies the world is flat, if not we would be falling off
