I believe robots can host maps larger than 8 MB because BattleNet does not actually validate map file size, instead only clients (or possibly the server) does. If non-hacked clients can join a multiplayer map over 8 MB is another question.

Generally for compatibility people do not make multiplayer maps over 8 MB. 8 MB is a ton of space as long as you do not go asset crazy.

I know the Korean and Chinese community make maps over 8mb like many RPGs and random defence maps that I've played with friends over lan or gameranger but I was hoping the English community have also contributed considering not all my friends can read either Chinese or korean
