|'''This was an official map, released by [[Jagex]].''' It is unknown what exact date this was made. This was the very first map ever made of [[RuneScape]], by then called [[DeviousMUD]]. It has lots of things that later returned on the map of [[RuneScape Classic]].

|-
|[[File:Rsmap 5 January 2006.jpg|250x250px]]
|[[5 January]] [[2006]]
|'''This was an official map, released by [[Jagex]].''' Because Jagex didn't release another world map for 5 months, there are a lot of changes. First of all [[Lletya]] opened to adventures, because the [[Mourning's Ends Part I]] and [[Mourning's Ends Part II|II]] were released. North of [[Isafdar]], an [[Outpost]] appeared. Also [[Waterbirth Island]], with its dangerous monsters, was added. Also some [[Teak tree|Teak]] and [[Mahogany tree]]s grew near [[Tai Bwo Wannai]]. In [[Varrock]], [[Queen Ellamaria]] created a garden for her own, and everywhere through [[Gielinor]] [[Rat Pits]] appeared. The [[Mage Training Arena]] was also restored from [[Mage Training Arena#History|the remains]] the [[Fremennik]]s left. South from [[Thurgo's Peninsula]], the [[Mudskipper Point]] rose from the sea. Furthermore, there were two unexplained disappearances. The first is the large island in the [[River Salve]], and second is the water resource sign at [[Tutorial Island]].
|-
|[[File:Rsmap 21 March 2006.jpg|250x250px]]
|[[21 March]] [[2006]]
|'''This was an official map, released by [[Jagex]].''' The [[Agility Pyramid]] and the [[Quarry]] were discovered in the [[Kharidian Desert]], and when we are talking about sand, [[Sandy]] started his office in [[Brimhaven]]. Also [[Mos Le'Harmless]] has been opened, but just until the gates to prevent the horrors from attacking the pirates living there. A [[Canoe]] system has also started at the [[River Lum]], which makes transport via it easier. Because of the effects of [[Recipe for Disaster]] some areas also changed, for example the [[Ape Atoll Agility Course]]. Finally, [[Burgh de Rott]], the poorest town in [[Gielinor]] has been built, and it helps adventurers with getting supplies for fighting [[Vampyre]]s.
|-
|[[File:Rsmap 28 July 2006.jpg|250x250px]]
|[[28 July]] [[2006]]
|'''This was an official map, released by [[Jagex]].''' Near [[Silvarea]], a [[Tolna's rift|rift]] opened with the imaginations of a [[Tolna|strange man]]. Another [[Odd Old Man|odd man]] settled near the [[Paterdomus mining site]], and needs the help of adventurers who will search bones for his [[Skeletal horror|collection]]. Further away from modern civilisation, in [[Port Phasmatys]], a ghost offered his services to go to the [[Dragontooth Island]]. On the other side of the world, the [[Void Knights]] need your help [[Pest Control|fighting pests]]. In the [[wilderness]] the lava became brighter of colour. In the same location, a volcano rose from the ground, and teleport pillars were placed here too. Meanwhile, the [[Gnome]]s are preparing for defending their lands, as they constructed a pen for [[Tortoise|battle tortoises]]. Next to it, the [[Piscatoris Fishing Colony]] needs the help of the [[Wise Old Man]], because of the threat of [[Sea troll]]s. This is also the first chance a player can ever see the colony. All over the world, there appeared [[POH portal|portals to player-owned houses]], which were [[:File:Rsc world map 2001.gif|announced]] more than 5 years before the actual release. In [[Burthorpe]] a group of the strongest warriors founded the [[Warriors' Guild]]. On [[Mos Le'Harmless]], the pirates allowed players to explore the rest of the island, which was locked before. In the [[Fremennik Province|Fremennik lands]], those pirates discovered the [[Lunar Isle]], with the [[Moon Clan]] people living on it. And because this whole world of monsters (and scammers) was getting very dangerous, the [[Stronghold of Security]] was opened. The safety of people had to be tested by some strong monsters, and the series of new ones in the stronghold were capable of doing that. If you were going for the money, you could also go to [[Sophanem]] for the [[Pyramid Plunder]].
|-
|[[File:Rsmap 4 September 2006.jpg|250x250px]]
|[[4 September]] [[2006]]
|Behind the poorest town in [[Gielinor]]([[Burgh de Rott]]), another poor region appeared. The [[Sanguinesti region]]. Near ardougne, the fishermen of [[Witchaven]] started up.
|-
|[[File:Rsmap 27 September 2006.jpg|250x250px]]
|[[27 September]] [[2006]]
|Many things happened in and around [[Lumbridge]] here: [[Father Urhney]] moved to a bit more to the west of the [[Lumbridge Swamp]]s. This was because the [[Lumbridge]] government claimed it to reveal a mine at the old location of his house. in both south corners of the swamps new mines were discovered.
|-
|[[File:Rsmap 21 November 2006.jpg|250x250px]]
|[[21 November]] [[2006]]
|[[My Arm]] the troll started his farming patch near [[Troll Stronghold]]. In the [[Tree Gnome Stronghold]] another farming patch was made, a tree patch. In the [[Feldip Hills]] and [[Piscatoris Hunter area|Piscatoris]] areas, new [[Hunter]] locations appeared, at the Piscatoris area accompanied by the [[Eagles' Peak (mountain)|Eagles' Peak]]. As [[Eagle]]s need somewhere to land, there were also some of those landing spots added around the world.
