Will RS ever be Scaled Up?
Quick find code: 16-17-926-65091295
I think this is a great idea, although I have a story to tell.
I remember way back watching my friend play WoW. I was a loyal RS player even back then, but I was watching him and he talked about how WoW was so much better than RS. So I decided to sit there and watch what he was doing. He had to go from one town to the next. So, he ran for like 15 minutes through a swampy forest with absolutely nothing in sight to reach his destination. After a while I asked, "...so what part of this is fun to you?"
I understand Jagex wouldn't upscale the world that big, I just remembered this and thought it was funny

Yeah I used to play a lot of TERA and it was the same there. I actually timed my run on foot about 6 months ago, just through one section of the desert, in one of MANY regions and it took me 13 mins and 24 secs to go from one side to the other lol.
Games like that were too big (imo) and kind of felt lonely. I'd hope that jagex would give players a reason to go outside of LRC, Warbands and the G.E to actually justify making the game bigger.

Of course, that would be the drawback of expanding the game world. However, if the map was expanded, I'm sure Jagex would take this into account and expand the currently available transportation networks to compensate. There may even be scope to introduce a few new ones too (mounts!?!)
Every major town and city already has it's own lodestone, meaning you would only have to make the arduous 15 minute walk to get there once. Then you can unlock the loadstone for near instantaneous travel to that location. You'll never have to make that trek through the intervening space again, unless you want to, or there is a specific resource or attraction contained within it that you want to take advantage of.
I'm sure if the map were to be expanded, the first thing Jagex would do would be to add more lodestones at minor towns, villages and other points of interest that don't already have them. –= MEGA Construction Rework =–
Freeform Buildings, Surface World Plots, Community Involvement, Environments, Skills and much, much more...!

Well they could also make the map bigger one piece at a time (maybe start in the f2p area first
), since if they started it now, it would probably take at least a year just to get the content in for the whole map, not to mention the bugs that would occur from this.

Yes this makes sense. But what they will probably do is make a beta server for expanded map one section at a time so most of the bugs can be worked out there.
