With updates happening once every week, it's only a matter of time until Jagex run out of space to fill up. I heard that there are still two undiscovered continents on Gielinor though, maybe an expansion pack or something similar.

I absolutely agree and have though about this before. Someone measured it once, I remember if RS was about a mile long or so.

However, it would require a HUGE redesign. Yeah, should've done that with RS3 since the actual RS3 was just an interface redesign...

But I would love to have BIG mountains, real HILLS, LAKES, LONG RIVERS, HUGE cities...

Falador, the population is what, 20 if you don't include the knights, 50 if you do?

Ardougne might be around 100 if you include West and East. So small.

Turn off your run and only use teleports in the standard magic book excluding the loadstone tele. You will be amazed at how much longer it takes to get around!
It only takes a long time because of all the terrain to walk over**** is only a mile or two long from side to side.

A huge world expansion would be so good! And then they could fill it up with even more content, too. Small little dungeons, new goblin camps, extensive forests, new quiet fishing areas. I really miss that feeling you get when you explore a new area for the first time - this could bring it back!

for the people saying o what are they going to do with the new space ?
1 Solution
there comes a tree update = space for new trees + u see no orks etc out of the gwd just let them roam between the cities

also there are other npc's they can add like trading caravans which is a nice opportunity for new training methods ambushing caravans for resources for example

and for the new space like in f2p they can make short quests to give you a bit of content in there like cooks assistant

also increasing the map is a large update no argueing here but they will save loadsa time in the future if they do since every update they bring they have to search for empty spaces and/or minimizing stuff so something new can fit there

summary:
increasing the map size is neccesary for new content and making the world feel more alive it will also attract more people imo if it is larger IF they make a commercial when its done. For develepment issues regarding the size u can easily split up the map and do it piece by piece like u start with moving mos le harmless and making it larger then u do morytania etc

in the books fally to tav is a 3day trek, so the world is large, just tiny on the map...not sure it would be productive to game play if everything was a long walk apart unless we had a lot more teleport options, and this could be quite frustrating for new players.
