I can envision a land of rolling hills, massive and ancient forests, wide and flowing rivers, beautiful waterfalls, tall mountain peaks, lush valleys, massive cities with countless secrets and mysteries, and several new continents with different cultures and landscaping.

I really hope a massive scaling update does come soon. I mean, if Mod Mark says they have plans to do so, we can pretty much hope for it, but I really feel we need an update like that. That, and they may want to increase the number of people that can log into one game server. We can turn this game into an MMO more formidable than ever. Plus, if you upscale the game world, it would allow for much better and more grand environments and content.

With EverQuest Next coming, and World of Warcraft dying out, Jagex is going to need to double-time it to keep equal with EQN. A world expansion would definitely help start that process.

One small favour with a larger map, enjoy.

The one small favour quest is supposed to be long and involve lots of travelling. It's central premise is to first appear as a quick and simple task, but turn out to be something completely different. But now we have many more teleportation items, fairy rings and loadstones that make travel easier and quicker. If anything, a world expansion would restore this quest to how it was originally intended.

I think if it ever was scaled up, it would have to done carefully. People's computers might not be able to handle it if it took more to process it. I don't know whether it will or will not happen; I don't know enough to speculate about the it becoming reality.

If we could convince Jagex to expand the world of RuneScape...

... It would be a great excuse to start begging for a mount skill...


We could recycle some of the Familiars that we have to also play the role of mount. And mabey more pets (and upgrading old ones like Baby Dragons) that could be big enough to ride. ;) .

A scaled up version of Gielinor is still very high in my top 5 of things I'd love to see in RuneScape. So even though i've posted here in the past my support still remains.
Imagine standing on the edge of a cliff in a new giant area and having to either walk down and around to get into the cave below or using high Agility to make your way down the cliffside using vines whilst having a waterfall crashing down beside you <3.
