If map is too big does it crash frequently?

I;ve recently put the map as 7k instead of the default 4k. If you did this before did it result in frequent crashes?

 

I heard several times that big maps are bugged... not sure how big you can go before you start having issues.

 

Unless you are hosting on your own machine with a ton of power then anything over 5.5k-6k will cause the server to load VERY slowly and or crash .. Had server size of 8k just causing a perma crashed server.

 

usually people try not to get over 6k

 

I was using 6k for a few days and had a lot of problems with plugins and the server itself.
Worst was when one day the map changed, the road was completely gone, there were rocks where hasnt been any a day before, half of my camp was inside a mountain.

Reduced it to 5k now and its running fine.
