It will be really sad when the new skill OSRS has been hard selling day after day since 2022 will come only in 2024 or 2025, or won't come at all. However, it won't surprise me this may actually be where it is trending, amid the reaction of the internal OSRS playerbase and the external market.

OSRS is just selling the hype of a crowd funded project, not the actual skill. A sailing themed minigame won't sell, it is going to be vaporized once it sees daylight anyway.

New players won't come to OSRS regardless of a new skill due to recent scandals, especially when renowned game critics are negative on them. Asmongold even said the game is destroyed and Jagex lost millions of dollars. Even if OSRS really had something tangible good to sell, this year will be a very bad time. Better luck next year or more like after next year.

What we see on OldschoolRS's official Twitter homepage tells us the story. They are still trying to sell the hype of a new skill, not the new skill, even though we know they have selected Sailing as the new skill already. ;)

Well, only 17,000 players participated in the latest new skill survey, or less than 10% of the players who were interested in selecting the new skill:

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/adding-a-new-skill-sailing-refinement-survey--stages-summary-?oldschool=1#_ga=2.173812129.380540933.1681418368-1446488084.1681418368

They hype is diminishing fast, and the 17k voters in the new skill refinement survey were even lower than most participants in a lot of OSRS polls and surveys. This doesn't bode well for a quick release of the new skill. I think OSRS will have to wait much longer and hope for some fish will bite soon... or maybe they have to wait until 2025.

I've not heard anyone from Jagex say anything about a release in 2023.

Not sure how people think things are added to games but the skill was just voted in. It's a big thing to add to the game.
Don't let my level fool you, I have no idea what I'm doing :|

OSRS players are probably preoccupied with what they have seen RS3 could do with the announcements and actual release dates of their new skills previously the last 10 years. Given OSRS touted the new skill as their major project in 2022 and put it on their 2023 Roadmap, it gave a lot of players the false hope that, like in RS3, the new skill should have no problem coming within one year since its original announcement on OSRS Winter Summit 2022 (Dec 2022).

Sorry to those who are expecting a good Sailing skill this year.
Nobody was expecting Sailing to come out this year. If they were, please provide us with proof/evidence from Jagex where Jagex stated that Sailing was expected in 2023.

Thank you.

"A lot of players"? You may be on your own on this one. Again, as enumerated various times on this thread, please provide us with details from Jagex stating that Sailing was expected in 2023. You may have created that yourself as you have miserably failed to share that information with the audience here. Things that are polled don't come out right after, specially a big update like a new skill.

Jagex didn't say anything about the actual release date, I clearly mentioned this. Why ask me to show proof/evidence I clearly said Jagex didn't say?

You may not think the new skill will come in 2023, neither do I, but "nobody" thinks so?

I won't say "nobody" expect a new skill to come to OSRS because I have seen plenty of them all over the social media. I have even seen on on the very 2nd post of this thread:

"So it got delayed in the end?"

If you insist they are "nobody", your opinion.

We are asking you for proof/evidence because you are the one that 1) created this thread and 2) is making claims without a source, i.e.:

Obviously, Jagex never said that it'd come in 2023...which is the main reason why we are asking you to let us know where you saw that anyone was expecting Sailing to be released in 2023 ... other than your own thoughts and opinions, of course . Anyone can have those and even make them up, but we are intrigued to know where you got those claims from.

In any case, it's very interesting that you omitted Miu's excellent response on Page 1, Post #10 :

And? Point to a single Jagex message that says the new skill would be finished in 2023. Polling doesn't mean the content comes out the next week .
