wozzels Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 In the heat of the double quest and glitchy botany bay update we might forget that there was also a change in the in-game map.The black squares (still visible in the tip-it map downloads) are gone and eges of certain areas look smoother now.But does this destroy the possibilities that these black areas gave on the map expansion? For example: now we know the posion waste is not that big, the desert stops shortly south of menaphos/sophanem, and the area east of piscatoris and north of priffdinas is just coastal, nothing more. South of MA the map also just rounds back to oo'glog. What do you guys think of this? No more map expansions like in the past (like gu'thanoth -> feldip hills -> oo'glog over several years)?Is it sad or a good thing now the map finally looks a bit 'complete'? Thank you in advance for your input!Wozzels p.s.: show the elven crystal city prifdinnas already! It's so long overdue it's unbelievable...

Saradomin_Mage Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 They could just expand the land or drop a mass into the sea if they wanted to add more to the game map :P Chances are, now that they've filled in various cities (Priffdinas, Sophanem/Menaphos, Meiyerditch, the Poison Waste - Aprosandra etc), they'd be more likely to have a design plan in place for those areas and we might see progress on them soon. 1 In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Kaur Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Q: Now that the borders of the world are filled, which were once very much speculated, will the new places be used for actual content? Also, are these all the expansions to the main land that will happen? Mod Engstrom: Come on, we can’t tell you all our secrets! We felt that it was important to give the map a ‘finished’ look, but that doesn’t mean the map can’t change... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. V. Devnull Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 wozzels, I'm only going to say this once... Watch and see, because we all know the map has hit the fan in the past... hard. :geek: ~D. V. "Who knows... They might finally get to the new continent as well!" Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.)

In the lastest Q&A we were actually told that work on areas like Priffdinas haven't even been started yet so I don't know if that theory is correct. Still, we can dream we'll one day see Priffdinas. One day. @_@ loljkitwillneverhappen ._. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Off Topic: I ran out of likes or I would like that post, Kimberly.. at this rate I fear it will not happen :c On Topic: The map can always change later. This way it looks complete and less rough... but they've changed whole "completed" areas before for things like city reworks and tutorial updates...

Zaaps1 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Who says they have to extend landmass to add content? They could always start a new island. Or a new continent.

Jon Arcane Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 There will be changes made still. Tutorial island is gonna get moved/deleted and the Wizards tower is going to get expanded, I'm sure others will follow too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decebal Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 They had to connect the oceans for the upcoming sailing skill, guys :P . On a more serious note, tectonic activity or sea level changes can increase the size of the land. Relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax.Jagex: Sorry folks, due to recent global warming, sea levels have risen and inundated Priffdinas as well as the Eastern Lands. All the inhabitants perished and the cities will never be shown. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevnullUnavoidable, considering the medium, and usually for the best. Look at Al Kharid for the positive effects of that sort of thing, where they replaced a fairly bland "save the prince" quest with one that expands on existing lore. 2 I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Definitely worth it to update old quests with ones that are just nicer overall. Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2Pullout Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 How long have they been working on the Eastern lands for now? 4 years? That's the problem with this game they don't release 'expansions' just updates randomly, which allows them to get away with putting stuff off for as long as they please. It's really disappointing that this game never really see's new cities or new territory. IMO Jagex's priorities aren't where they should be.

Kimberly Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 How long have they been working on the Eastern lands for now? 4 years? They haven't worked on them at all since their mention in scattered quests. Just like they haven't worked on Prfinndas (Sp?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax.Or, you know, a good old-fashioned retcon. I'm pretty sure they've done that in the past.They've also used tectonic activity to explain the appearance of the god wars dungeon. Point is, they've got so many ways to add in new land (new islands, new lands, retcon, natural phenomenon) that there's no need to be worried about it.
