Yeah, hopefully we'll be seeing a lot of big cities on the scale of Ardy or Varrock, as opposed to small towns like Hemenster :p "If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?" - Bill Watterson

I would love to see Scaperune in real life. The “hopefully” removed random events´s returen but less annoying. It should be a part of the new continent.

- The evil farmer Fred, he only breeds evil chickens and you can kill them as a harder vision of normal chicken. The only benefit is more feathers per kill.

-Drill Demon( the army guy): Training agility on the map used in the background. A semi high training spot with offers little under normal xp but can upgrade the army outfit to give an agility xp boost.

-Frog: a new short quest were you would have to get revenge over the person who made the princes a frog. Reward include the outfit aswell as xp in the skills used in the quest.

-Dr. Jekyll: A free but very slow xp in herblore. Good for lower levels. Helping mixing the poisons and find the ingredients need in the potion. Rewards include little herblore xp, and leftovers of potions once in a while. This can be used to obtain higher level potions without the required herblore level. Example if you are lucky you will otain a 1dose of super restore after 15min of work.

-Freaky Forester. Hunting pheasant good hunter xp for lower lvls. An alternative for hunting birds with snare to lvl 19

-strange plant: a farming spot used only for planting strange fruit seed. The seeds
could be dropped by evil chickens to make them more valuable.

-Evil bob. A new quest. Help freeing the slaves by removing evil bob evilness. Rewards include evil bob pet cat among others.

This is some of my ideas fell free to add some if you like my idea.

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.


I like that, perhaps low level resources on top, then you need a certain agility level to scale down for higher level resources.

It definitely needs a waterfall. I think it needs a lot of different themed land anyway.

I think Reach definitely wants to include an underwater city with a new race, can't wait to see how that shapes up! "If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?" - Bill Watterson

Hey Reach! Thank you so much as well as the entire OSRS team for bringing us this Dev Blog. I've been waiting for it for some time now. I really like everything I am reading and can't wait to dive head first into this stuff.

I wanted to suggest a possible Prayer Book upgrade or entirely new Prayer Book unlocked exclusively through the new continent. I do think Prayer needs to be looked at in the near future, considering the highest tier prayer we have is level 70 (only approx. 700k experience). It would be nice to see refreshingly new Prayers for the slowly growing playerbase achieving 99 in the divine skill. :)

Yes Yes YES!


In my opinion, a part of the old school feel is looking to what is next.

When Ardy was released in 02, people flocked to see the new region.

When Regicide and Elf-land came in 04, the exact same thing happened (although not as interesting as "main land rs"

This new continent has a lot of potential.

New Quest storylines, NPCs, stores, possibly new items and monsters- maybe even new resources only found there.

I see possibilities; new content for hunter, slayer, farming, pvm, all of the resource collecting skills AND it could help make current quest lines- such as the pirate story line different from the EOC's.

11/10 would recommend
