Aw, man, and here I got all excited when I logged onto the RSOF, opened this thread, and saw that there was potentially a whole page of new comments full of wonderful discussion to read since I last popped in. Come to see that most of them had to be hidden because they were just flaming.
EDIT: Also, I just updated everything.

For now, we don't know if there are going to be any quests on release of the new island.
While one could point to the stealth release of Curse of the Black Stone that tied together the 3 Elite Dungeons, there's no guarantee of that happening here.
Though I wouldn't be stunned if there was at least 1 "Tale of" the island or some miniquest related to it.
I wouldn't be surprised, either. Regardless, even if there's not...:

However, in an attempt to adapt the thread to recent trends, I will be broadening those horizons a little. If an upcoming update is neither a quest nor a miniquest, but is directly connected to either an existing or upcoming quest or miniquest, it will also be detailed on this thread. (For example, Elite Dungeons have a direct connection to a quest (Curse of the Black Stone), despite being neither a quest or a miniquest.)

It would be nice if we could learn the lore behind what caused the old Fossil Island to move and change to its modern time stat if it was indeed Anachronia. It would be utterly interesting... I would suspect The Law of Entrophy and Darwinism forced it to change.
Because OSRS is set in a different time line? Therefore the positions of the island is different for them. Its like trying to find Zeah in RS3 only to "discover" it in a different position than where it is in OSRS.
But even more lore wise: couldn't Kerapac just move the island to a place he wanted it to be? It might be far fetched but its possible I guess. Time to follow an trail of Treasure.

Let me ask the question you asked in Page 3, Post 3 of this thread in a different way then:
OSRS Priffdinas among all the other places, cities, continents all use the same names as their counterparts in RS3, why is Anachronia so special that it has to have a new name and be moved to another location, while the likes of Priddinas remain Prdidinas and not moved?
Let me also refer to CM Brandon's Hyrule analogy in the Zelda Series. Even the cities, oceans among other things changed in Zelda, their names never change. And the most common explanation of the Zelda fans about the ever-moving landscape is: The Zelda Series are "Legends" of each others (consider them spirtual successors and predecessors of each other but some successors have actually come before the predecessors, and the stories are just ideas of each others but not fully connected). There are no specific timeline of each Zelda "Legend".

Every point you're making hinges on there being some sort of direct connection between OSRS and RS3. There isn't. They're two games that are entirely independent of the other. In-universe, they are each their own thing, without any kind of connection to the other. So, your logic continues to completely fall apart.

It didn't move! Nothing changed! Old School RuneScape is NOT canon in RuneScape 3. Anything happening in Old School is completely irrelevant to how Fossil Island is released in RS3. There's no need for a lore explanation because OSRS is a different game with different content. Their Prifddinas will be very different from ours, and everything RS3 releases is also different.
The "new name" is just its "real" name canonically. It had a bunch of nicknames during development and in references from characters. It was actually canonically called Kudos Island first, and the OSRS release called it Fossil Island (as did an RS3 poll for an area).
Lol, beat me to it.

Ran out of space, so:

To also quickly reply to what you said above:
The reason that Anachronia is called Anachronia and not Kudos or Fossil Island is because its never had an "official" name in the canon. Unlike Prifddinas, being the name of a city, Kudos Island was called that first, then later referred to as Fossil Island. It's not a name change, but just a discovery of a real name.
Exactly. And it looks like in-game, "Fossil Island" and "Kudos Island" are names for it, too, except that they're the Varrock Museum's names for the island, not its actual name.
