This sounds like a really great update, if you don't like it - simply don't do it, there is plenty of other content out there for you to do, they already said its not going to interrupt the mass of other updates coming out.

Old school mods are great and are going to be constantly taking in feedback from players, so the least you could do is be mature and reasonable about this, anyone trash talking this and being sarcastic are coming across as trolls, you can have an opinion without being rude.

Old school HAS to grow and change somewhat in order to stay functioning as a viable business/game and new skills will be a major part of that.

Not sure why people are asking for skills like summoning and dungeoenering when they were already added to a game that frankly has failed.

Old school is a chance for a fresh start, a chance for us to change the game for the better.

So many people writing "this is a joke" or "this will ruin Oldschool" but seem to not care enough to explain why.

Kinda hard to make Jagex care about those posts when they all seem to be just following a herd mentality of people repeating each other with no explanations.

Copying my previous post

I've yet to see a good, non-opinion based argument as to why Sailing (skill or minigame) should not pass.

People want Dungeoneering, and this gives you access to new resources and other rewards like DG did, yet this is inferior for some reason?

Summoning wasn't spectacular either. A tedious way to train, camping waterfiends on end for an item used to make a pouch, the only real way to train the skill. You literally did not even have to summon anything to train summoning.

Also, Jagex themselves said this would not cost any extra dev time. This project has been secretly in the works for months (given on Twitter)
"We plan to release sailing early next year. The release of sailing will not change anything in our current release schedule that we discussed earlier this year.

To name a couple of the largest projects we have planned, deadman mode is still heading your way in October and Zeah is still planned for June next year. Sailing may even act as the perfect stepping stone for you to venture to the land to the west.

To help achieve all of this, we will soon be starting the search for two developers to join us on the Old School team."

I'll be voting yes and I encourage the nay-sayers to wait for the next dev blog on it.

Thank you Jagex for your continued hard work on this game we all enjoy together! I would like to share a few sentiments regarding the information at hand.

Shorty story: My vote on the matter is a no. Why? Let me share.

The structure of the game will constantly be changed by future updates, that we know for sure, but whenever I play and share the memories with others, I am reminded why we choose Old School over the newer version and that is the retention of the nostalgia. I am aware that there are plenty of changes from the original game released in '07, but the basis is the same. I know I speak for a small handful of players, but the is important enough for me to throw out my opinion. I respect new skills have not been added and I would love to keep it that way.
