Are the cities much different? Larger with more to do? The newbie land is pretty basic as they all seem pretty much the same.

The Noob settlements aren't really cities, they are more towns.

The word I would have used is village. Tiny little huts in the middle of the wasteland. Pyr is HUGE even Yrkranis is vast in scope.
Mainland cities are kinda like taking ALL newb cities, smash them together and then double or even TRIPLE it.

The noob islands are very basic in what they have to offer. The idea with them is to get you fimilar with the workings of the game. Pretty much every aspect of the game is expanded upon in a very large way when you reach the mainland.
Here are some screens I have taken over time on the mainland:
