Lots of good suggestions in this thread. I like the idea of random spawning NPC when your travelling from a to b, and they are not to hard but not too easy to kill, and drop decent loot, would be more interesting/worthwhile.

It was confirmed that this is indeed possible but it would be a massive update and it would take a huge amount of time. It was also said that it will not be soon though. Former RS3 Completionist, On the road to Max old school

1 HOUR to get from Varrock to Falador?! The game is grindy enough as it is, most people don't have that kind of time to burn on a game... What about quests? I want to be PLAYING the game... have the map expanded, but not to turn it into walking simulator 2014!

Agility could play a much bigger role if the map was expanded and distances were far more vast. Higher agility could mean faster running, swimming across bodies of water (asgarnia>kandarin), etc.

And Dayz already has the award for walk/run sim 2014, soz.

Scaling it up would only make travelling from point A to point B longer. What's really important is they add some kind of filler that makes it worth travelling the extra distance, otherwise it'll be one very empty feeling game.

this is something i think about ofton. I would love to see the world 4x bigger. On the heist mini-game the waiting room platform is 4 squares wide, it really triggers my OCD when i cant line my character up with the mast of the ship, i am either one or the other side. Along with the update it would be cool if they could increase the tick rate so its like 0.3 as 0.6 is so noticeable and gives a much less connected feel to the game.
it would make sailing and mounts more viable as a skill.
implementing these would obviously take a huge amount of effort and take away from other updates. It would have to be marketed as RS4 and they could use that as a springboard for a decent marketing campaign to get new players and breath some life back into runescape.

off topic whilst im in the zone.
i wouldn't mind paying for this update. Increase the monthly membership for a better game. Stop selling xp and be more creative with the micro transactions as to not make this a pay to win game

Remember that this is just a browser game, so they do have limits on the game.

Who actually 'travels' in Runescape today anyway? Everyone just teleports now.

I is important to keep this thread alive. We need a big thread like this in the polling suggestions forum. I would love for this to at least be up for a vote (which clearly explains the benefits of a larger world and compensations for resource gathering, etc due to larger distances).
