Northrend size compared to Dragon Isles

Some people keep saying that it's "unexpected" that in The Last Titan Blizz will do the whole of Northrend (as it seems to be confirmed [in a recent interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7S35QurmQE)) and not just some zones.

It actually is expected if you ever flew in Northrend since introduciton of dragonriding, because what you remember about Northrend is not its size, but travel time that was long due to initial use of ground mounts with 200% speed, and then flying at \~400% speed. Dragonriding drastically increasess speed to 800-1000%, so internal measurements of Dragon Isles are scewed.

Back when Dragonflight came out u/[SilentStorm182](https://www.reddit.com/user/SilentStorm182/) actually [did the comparison of sizes](https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/w098ug/updated_size_comparison_map_of_dragon_isles_to/), Northrend is about as big as Dragon Isles, so of course they are doing whole continent, its area fits what they were doing last 2 expansions.
