Maybe have the bounty hunter arena/crater here,and add time limit to either accessing it and time limit to how long you can stay in area,or make it so it only appear's say at certain times in week,or once/twice week only,this way it will not effect other wilderness area's as much,maybe add bonuses for killing people so people will go to this when it's up.

This sounds really sick. Would be awesome if this would go into the game. I would think it would be cool if the whole continent was a monster sleeping. Like a gigantic monster has been asleep for thousand of years and people has been inhabiting it and has build a continent on it. Things starts to grow on it and you could not even see that they are living on a monster anymore. With this we could discover what this monster is, some new cool lore about how it came here and other things. The underwater city could have build their city on the monster's head, not knowing what it was. Just a idea I would think could be cool.

I love this idea and the possibilities that come with it, room for expansion is certainly something old school will need in order to continue being its own game for the players. Some ideas I have for these new areas follow, it's a brain storm and I would love to hear the ideas expanded upon.

Underwater fishing arena/underwater agility arena. One or the other, or maybe combine them into one as you need to use the agility arena to reach underwater fishing areas. Possibly under the new platform town.

Another fairy city, possibly a minigame involved with fairy currency and new items you can purchase from the fairies. I would love some equip-able items such as capes, necklaces or rings that can also count as a fairy magic item to access the fairy rings. The minigame could be anything from repairing damage to the city with crafting and smithing, catching nuisance creatures with hunter and agility, treating diseased plants with farming and woodcutting, or the good old killing hostile creatures with combat.

A city run entirely by cats, with some novelty items to go with it.

An underground hunter area, where you can hunt things already seen in the game and possibly some new ones. EX: Moles, burrowing kebbits

If your going to do this you need to delete some worlds. osrs just isnt active enough so that many places are dead with so many worlds and so few players. if you increase the land mass by 50% if will become even more so. please do this

You should try and make some visual effects on the new continent like constant fog or snow or sandstorm or wind to make it more epic and it should take away 1 health each minute or seomthing to make it so that each second you stay ther is more of a risk.

Massive support for this. I already suggested something like this here. This would be perfect.

Maybe you could include a city on a mountain or something where dwarfs live, and this city could include mining spots somewhere on top of the mountain, could also include a massive waterfall :) . This would be a great city for mining, smithing and crafting. Just an idea :P Also your making a new land 50% of the size of Gielinor, take advantage of that and dont make these new citys and towns small, like some of the ones in Gielinor.
