Put in a giant sea dragon boss called "leviathan" that drops an upgrade for the dragonfire shield and keys to unlock new areas with new types of metal dragons (adamant dragons, rune dragons, etc). Then maybe make bosses for each type of metal dragon. Let's make this all about dragons, dragons, and more dragons.

I am very excited for this update and think that it does have ton of potential. My favorite part of the Sailing idea is that it captures the spirit of the game back in 06/07 with that idea of adventure and mystery. I've been a player of this game for over a decade and other than bringing back OSRS this could be one of the best updates.

The one thing I have to say about those with negative feedback towards this idea is; exactly what do you want of OSRS? Adding skills such as Dung and Sum are only steering the game in the direction of being a 2007 skin of RS3. I had originally thought that the OSRS community would have the mindset of the game back in 07 but seems to be less and less the case to me.

Anyway, good idea guys and I think it will turn out great!

Its sad how many people say no to Sailing without even understanding what is being offered.

Many seem to think sailing would just be travelling from Port Sarim to Catherby or Karamja or other places they have already been, and don't realize it would open up entire new lands, resources, Slayer monsters, PVP, adventures, and exploration.

I hope if Jagex polls Sailing they make sure the people voting know what they are voting for or against. If a person thinks Sailing is just jumping on a ship and travelling to somewhere they have already been, or just a new form of transportation slower than Teleporting, then no wonder so many are saying no.

Sailing potentially opens up new islands, new continents, new resources, new monsters, new weapons and armour, new herbs new foods, new uses for existing skills, and new types of combat and ever changing adventures where you don't know what you will find each time you venture out or what island resources you might find.

The first poll question on Sailing should be to make sure players understand what sailing really offers, and not let players vote yes or no until they get the first questions right on what Sailing will be like. Hi.
