if they don't want these areas anymore then why not just get rid of them? bring in new areas that have use and actually look good. no game should have areas that look like it's from the year 2004. lol it's like getting on gta and heading over to franklins place and seeing the graphics in that one area looking like complete dog water compared to everywhere else. if you're going to set the tone graphics wise then please make sure it's done throughout the whole game and actually looks good. it doesn't matter if players frequent those areas often or not. the game has been out for 20 plus years now. there's no excuse.

As I mentioned, RS3 have created new areas for
New Player Experience
already. There is no reason to get rid of the old areas because there are still some very old content left over in those areas. No other games got rid of their old areas totally. Not even OSRS, let alone GTA. They all add new areas, but they don't remove old areas.

Who says we need to keep the flax field? I am talking about updating the graphics to the latest standards and re-visioning the site of content. Just with Catherby some unused buildings were excluded in the rework and repositioned if it didn't make sense.

Oh and as an Ironman btw I play within this area a lot, just like Karamja; name more than a dozen of quests to start with, clue scrolls, area tasks. Places new players will definitely lose their interest in if it looks like a game from 2000.

Did'nt we rework Port Sarim, Falador, Catherby, Al-Kharid; basically all starter areas so new players are amazed with NXT's features?
Then getting them excited and buying membership, and finding out places like Seers' Village and ooglog grafics exist?

Sounds like a big scam to me.

Waiting entirely (since 2017 and earlier) for Jagex to pick up the Camelot rework. It was in a far design stage and made me super excited to see it getting redeveloped. Of course area reworks should be in pair with re-imagined game content, as they did for low-level skilling thieving in Catherby.

Long ago they said they would not be updating Seer's and Camelot, and the reason was players had very low interests.

What content is in Seer's and Camelot? Virtually nothing. Nobody picks flax in RS3 in 2022.

Jagex said they would not be reworking Seers long ago. They only reworked Catheby and that's based on the feedbacks of the COMMUNITY.

They could always change their minds at a later time. IIRC they wanted to rework Morytania but had to scrap it due to backlash from older players who wanted it to stay the same. They also had to make a whole quest around graphically updating the black knight titan for similar reasons.

Now that people who want older graphics have OSRS and people are more willing to let the game get graphically updated, I don't see why they can't revisit stuff like that. I'd enjoy seeing an update for the Fremmenik province and Keldagrim not just for graphics but to keep those places relevant with new content to visit for. How to block a forum user

It's slightly easier to add a new area vs reworking an older area.
Falador IIRC took almost a year to rework. In part because of how many quests run thru the area.

With Archaeology, they had already removed Mobilizing Armies. After that, they just added in 3 smaller surface areas for Bandosian, Zamorak, and Zarosian that led to an off-the map underground area.
Armadyl's Tempe of Ikov did get an overhaul as well. But it was a small area to rework.
The Saradomin area was simply added on to the existing area in Morytania.

TzHaar city is an off the map area. All they did was graphically update the top of the Volcano the entrance sits on.
