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.
