I'm still not sure how this thread is still kicking.

Mod Matthe said :
Scaling up the world, as various people have described and suggested in this thread would be a huge project - not only would it require a complete redrawing and designing of the whole world but it would have enormous knock on effects to the balance and economics of the world. As such it is highly unlikely to be something we would work on in the foreseeable future.

This thread is still going simply because this is an issue people care about.

Sure, the world won't get redesigned in the forseeable future (however long that is) but at some point it will.

Runescape has been around for a phenominally long time and has adapted to changing markets and technologies. If Runescape wants to continue to be around in the future then it will have to keep on adapting and that includes growing the game world.

Im glad to see this thread is still up and going! I still cant wait to see the day and he possibilities it opens up. Im not sure how Jagex can not see that this needs to happen. I get the feeling with the new expansions we're trying to put fresh paint on a rusty old car.

Absolutely.

I think scaling the Runescape world up would be a massive task indeed but in the long run it would help the game grow in order for the game to survive i think it's almost matter of fact that this must happen.

Not gonna happen.. The best way to describe JaGex and their management of Rs3 is to compare them to your best friend who doesn't know a thing about cars owning a Ferrari and being completely liable for the maintenance.. The job is beyond their scope and expertise.. Darkscape was a great example of this.. The game costs so much just to maintain that they couldn't even afford to keep a server open with twice the player base as the deadman server.

Tl;dr

The game is to advanced for such a small team to develop . They built themselves something they can't afford to expand upon.

That is a depressing outlook to have.... I don't think J-Mods are begging on the streets though
