The reason why "the run" feels so long is due to the outrageously retarded size of the Karanas compared to all the other zones. Moment I make a character in Qeynos I just do some gnoll tooth farming and fuck off to Commonlands/North Ro for any additional teens grinding since that's where the traffic resides. So yes, a port to Surefall would make Western Antonica feel less backwoods if only a little. And no, the size of the Karanas doesn't make the world feel "big" it makes it feel empty. Plus the texture stretching of the terrain textures in those zones (which I think was a 32x32) always looked putrid compared to the Commonlands where the textures looked more put together.
