Awesome to see this thread back up :D

Question: if the " Land out of time" is called Anachronia why is the "Breaking the storm"event calling it Fossil island? especially since its formerly known as that.


I think the analogy between Anachronia and Fossil Island is like the one between Black Mirror and Twilight Zone.


You do realize they are both the same island right? Call it whatever you want and try to argue the point as many times as you want, the fact is that they are the same island. You want to know the difference between the two?
One is alive due to the story arc and one is dead due to story arc.
. The island is the same place in both games.

Why is that so hard to understand?

From the Rs wiki " Anachronia, also known as Fossil Island and The Land Out of Time," https://runescape.wiki/w/Anachronia

From Pc gamesn " Old School Runescape players will recognise the landmass as Fossil Island, but in the warped timeline of Land Out of Time there are no fossils to be found,"... https://www.pcgamesn.com/runescape/land-out-of-time-release-date-dinosaurs

From mmorpg.com " Opening up on the shores of a long-standing jetty that’s been under construction for more than a few years, players are finally able to board the Stormbreaker and make their way to Fossil Island. Except, Fossil Island has already been explored in Old School Runescape. Instead, players will find a much more vibrant version of this rock. They will find Dinosaur Island, plucked out of time and full of wonderful new adventures."

So no you can't say they are like two different shows because they are the same place. Only the story is different.

Now does it make sense to you?

Do you realize Anachronia and the OSRS Fossil Island are not in the same place?

Anachronia is North of Daemonheim, above the high wildy gate.

OSRS Fossil Island is East off Mid Wildy.

Anachronia is physically North of The OSRS Fossil Island.

Ah! So you found some journalist who called Anachronia "Dinosaur Island"... does it mean Anachronia is also known as Dinosaur Island?

How much proof do you need before it goes through your head that they are the same location?

You are hell bent on saying you are right that you begin to believe it.

The in game message ( if you read those) says the following " Mr. Mordaut needs help building a ship that can breach the stormwall surrounding
Fossil Island.
Travel to the Varrock dig site to lend a hand."

See "Fossil island" Right? Even Jagex is calling it that as well. What else don't you understand about this seemingly easy concept?

"Anachronia was previously known as
Fossil Island
, also known as Kudos Island."https://runescape.wiki/w/Anachronia

previous: meaning before.

Meaning its the same island with a different name.

Now do you get it?

You could also look at the various names being a situation where multiple names for something are thrown around, and all of them stick, and no single name really getting to stand out above the others.

There are other media where the name of a book, movie, or character gets lots of names, and technically, all of them are accurate.

All your proves like the ones from the wiki are written by somebody outside Jagex.

The proofs Anachronia is North, but not at the same location, of Fossil Island can be found from the maps of RS3 and OSRS, as well as Jagex's last vid on Anachronia that it is explicitly mentioned as NORTH OF DAEMONHEIM.

Great point! You're right. You caught me on a technicality, but you're absolutely right. The island's name is Anachronia, but Varrock Museum's name for it is "Fossil Island." Because Varrock Museum runs the dig site and by extension Breaking the Storm, it makes sense that the event would also call it "Fossil Island."

I fixed the post to better reflect this! It's not formerly known as Fossil Island, it's also known as Fossil Island. Thank you again!!


In RS3, both Anachronia and Fossil Island are names for the same place. "Fossil Island" and "Kudos Island" are names that the Varrock Museum uses, but the way Jagex has been promoting it it seems like "Anachronia" is the island's real name. We've yet to see who calls it that in-game.

A better analogy (unlike the weird Twilight Zone/Black Mirror thing) would be the Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas. The UK call them the Falkland Islands, but Argentina calls them Las Islas Malvinas. They're two entirely different names, but both names refer to the same place, and neither name is meant to refer to anything else.

As for connecting RS3's Fossil Island & OSRS' Fossil Island, I don't think there's any indication at all anywhere that they are at all related. OSRS and RS3 may share a lot of overlapping content, but they're two completely different story canons, with no connections between the two. In-universe, RS3 Fossil Island is completely unrelated to OSRS Fossil Island.

Of course, both were based on the same concept/idea, but that's not the point. RS3's version is known with both names.

What happened to the Vorago Quest? Was it cancelled, shelved, or neither? Where/when was the announcement made please?


According to Mod Ramen on reddit an year ago he stated

" Currently no, it was just a gamejam thing that didn't really pick up unlike some of the other projects."

https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/6sw3ci/is_the_vorago_quest_still_being_made/


So it's cancelled. Thanks!

Anachronica and Fossil Island are definitely not in the same location. If you think for any untold stories Fossil Island has moved North from where it is, to North of Daemonheim in RS3 and everything on it changed, that's fine with me... or even better for the purpose of this thread, perhaps a hyphothesis based on lore why and how that happend will be good.

However, it is noteworthy that Anachronia and Fossil Island are not at the same place.

Who called Anachronia "Anachronia", officially Jagex the company does through Press Release. Various Jmods like Jack, Osborne, Kevin, etc also confirmed the name Anachronia in vids.

To clarify a bunch of stuff!

RE: Anachronia
Anachronia is Fossil Island which is Kudos Island. While Old School has their own version of it, like they will have their own version of Prifddinas, Anachronia is in every way the RS3 version of the content. There are even NPCs at the Dig Site specifically talking about the failures of the barge and how it took a decade for them to get here and finally get the barge complete and the expedition out. There's not really any argument against anymore. Anachronia is Fossil Island for the modern game.

RE: Bik's Quest
This one is shelved for the moment for sure, but seems likely it'll be something coming in the next few years. Desperate Times kinda toyed with it before the Kerapac twist came into play after all.

RE: Two Small Favors
This one, among several others not mentioned here, seem to have gone the route of Vorago quest: GameJam projects that never got finished. The full list was Two Small Favors, Vorago quest, Raharni Wildcat/99 Hunter quest, and Desert Treasure 2. They all seem to have been shelved for the time being, if not outright cancelled.

RE: Sir Owen 2
Stu wants to make it, but has not been given the time. He's looking for ways to use the story in other content to shorten what needs to make it into this second quest.

RE: Floor 61 quest
We've had some lore teases as of late like in Children of Mah, but nothing concrete regarding them actually making the quest.

What is the reason you think Fossil Island has moved to its modern day North of Daemonheim location with everything on it changed then?

Why does Jagex want to give "Fossil Island" a new name?

Are there any reasons for all the changes lorewise?
