It still doesn't rule out the possibility of that piece of land being part of a new continent (which would be awesome). Yeah, I agree that the architecture looks like some kind of pirate settlement. Keep in mind that the pirates live east of Morytania, and a new pirate island is very likely to move us further east. I'd say that if it's not the eastern lands, it probably is some kind of build up to the release of the area. I'd agree with that. Probably a new more eastern land, but not the eastern lands. Even that architecture has a similar feel to that of traditional asian fishing villages, so I think it fits extraordinarily well. There is mention to a goblin cave in the picture, but I'd assume goblins are a universal thing in Runescape =P

Just another interesting thing I noticed. I was leafing through the images that Jagex provided to tip.it and this one in particular really stood out to me. http://www.tip.it/runescape/img2/Jagex_Exclusive.jpg The architecture of the buildings in this picture are pretty much identical to that of the building being designed in the video. I think whatever we're seeing in the video is the in-game version of the concept art. That said, the obvious fishing town theme only leads to connect the monster to the town. Looking at the sketch of the town in the concept art, there appears to be an east-facing peninsula on the north-side with a watchtower on it. Given that geography, I can't see any place on the map as of now where this village will fit logically, so it is likely to be a separate island which again brings us back to the pirate quests.

People think that the spellbook thing would be development tools but I think this is totally unlikely. The game is developed with in-house tools so there wouldn't be a need for in-game ones. I think it's possible that they are play-testing tools on beta worlds, but I prefer to think it's a spellbook =P.

It's definitely not the one we have now. For starters it's all one color, and those icons don't look anything like the ones we already have.

This video holds some more secretive things than I had previously thought. I only just noticed this now and to my knowledge I'm the only one who's found it. Pause the video at 15:09. Hidden behind Mark Gerhard you can see what appears to be a new spellbook. It's only there for literally about 1 second but here's a picture. In the video it shows up a bit clearer so feel free to check it out on your own as well. Edit: Regarding the troll, it's a pretty intimidating thing. Definitely a boss battle I'd say. It takes it's weapon and armor obviously from a shipwreck, and later in the video you can see them designing what appears to be a seaside town, so I'm thinking the two could be linked. Maybe a dungeon that one gains access to after/during a quest, similar to Corp beast.

Sounds like a funorb game to me, though who knows.

From my personal experiences in life, having known people with autism, I can say that it's truly impossible to know if someone is autistic from a video game. I have seen autism in ALL forms. I have a friend with Asperger's. The only way you'd ever know he even had autism was the fact that he gets very closely attached to things, and even that would take some time to pick up on. However, I've seen autism cases where people never utter a word, or never shut up, or babble incoherently. I have seen people with autism who's intelligence and diction could put everyone I know to shame. The point is, it shows up in so many diverse ways, that if someone really had it, there'd be no way to know.
