Correct, and i think for pubserver we shouldn't change that. 

But perhaps some people want to play bigpox, _big_ games. 
Afaik you can change the size from the maps in the code without problems
at least to 253x253 tiles. To make it bigger some big changes are needed
because for the map position uint8 is used (8 bit -> 255 as maximum
number)

With a little bit coding experience you can change that and play with
huge maps. But that will give boring games, because you have nearly no
action.
