Glyphscape features a far vaster world than Runescape does. Tiles are twice as large as in Runescape in both dimensions (think four tiles). Generally, dimensions are all increased by a factor of 10, so that the entire world is roughly 100 times larger. Each server-world also supports 50x as many players as each Runescape server did. Since getting anywhere takes about ten times as long now (sometimes as long as an hour), most settlements (ie. towns) offer a far more enhanced variety of features which make it more or less unnecessary to travel as often. Players often settle down at such settlements.
